Iowa wins a nailbiter.
125 - Ayala DEC DeAugustino (3-0 Iowa) Not much to analyze here, Drake beat him as a true freshman and he'll beat him now.
133 - Ragusin DEC Schriever (3-3) I know he just majored Bouzakis but he's had a ton of close matches also, I think Schriever competes here
141 - Woods MD Lemley (7-3 Iowa) Methodical end of period takedown and rides get Woods a double digit win but not quite a tech.
149 - Gomez DEC Voinovich (7-6 Iowa) I think they want to give Voinovich a shot at a top guy and he's better at preventing bonus, if Gomez goes big and gets a pin here, a lot changes
157 - Franek SV DEC Lewan (10-6 Iowa) Honestly the referee should save time and just ask them if they would agree on starting in SV lol
165 - Caliendo DEC Amine (13-6 Iowa) Amine isn't in his best form yet, Caliendo look outstanding but I don't think he can bully him quite like Mitchell
174 - Griffith DEC Kennedy (13-9 Iowa) Griffith looks awful right now, Kennedy looks great but at the same time, I think Kennedy will struggle to finish on him
184 - Bullock DEC Riggins (13-12 Iowa) Arnold is an option here also ... I think Iowa risks it and saves his 184 matches for PSU/Oklahoma State ... if Iowa is DOWN (because they dropped an unexpected match or bonus doesn't go their way, I think Arnold goes and wins a decision match)
197 - Glazier MD Striggow (17-12 Iowa) Fun fact, Striggow hasn't been bonused outside of his 4 minute tech by Aaron and he wrestled Jaxon Smith so I can see this being a decision. But I'm giving Glazier a hat tip here for how hard he wrestles.
285 - Davison DEC Kueter (17-15 Iowa) Kueter competes the entire match and leaves no doubt he should be the starter this year
