ISU vs. Iowa (what do you think?)
- Thread starter jack66
- Start date
the sad thing about espn covering is the timeframe. Up against the NFL is a death penalty for viewership...
? Cyclones are hosting at Hilton Coliseum.
I also think Hawks will prevail. Real will pin Echemendia.
Terukina’s MAJ over Barnett got my attention. As does Ayala’s loss to Kaylor.
125: Terukina DEC
133 Teske MAJ
141: Woods MAJ
149: Swiderski DEC

Iowa St gets over the hump and Chittum twists the knife.
Seriously, though, this is going to be one of the best non-PSU matches of the season for me. 125, 133, 149, 174, and 197 are all ranked within a couple spots of each other on Wrestlestat (165 #2 vs #6 as well, although there is a clear tier break between Carr & Caliendo there, too…), and even 141 & 157 are fascinating matchups that could theoretically go either way. This is one with a huge range of outcomes.

I have no opinion but will be tuning in to watch Woods and Carr, just love to watch those guys wrestle.
He’s got three TFs in three matches this season and Hill lost to a D3 kid from Augsburg. If anything, I’m understating 285 today.
I think this is the path to an ISU victory and we know Dresser has the stones. Is Kennedy eligible though?
We’ll see once he gets to real competition, but I’ll take him easily against an unranked RS frosh with two losses against a D3 wrestler.
If you want to get really silly with it, send PK out against Carr for an Iowa stall decision and let Caliendo go against Gaitan where he’d be a prohibitive favorite.
Well, possibly. But I wouldn't bet on either at this point.
Terukina has been average (as in NQ type) his entire career and after Bastida beats someone I will consider him a contender for AA.
Still, 2 AAs and a bunch of NQ types does not strike me as a team that will beat Iowa.
Why? How many potential AAs does Iowa have? Woods, Franek, & Caliendo (one of which is a decided underdog vs ISU)? If you include guys like Ayala & Arnold, then there’s no reason not to include Terukina & Chittum on the other side. We’re talking about this as much because Iowa is as weak as they’ve been in years (mostly due to the suspensions, but it is what it is…) as ISU being particularly strong.
FWIW, most of the FRL guys picked a TF for Bastida. He does look like he's grown into the weight nicely, and has always been a good athlete. I could definitely see him making the (bottom half of the) podium this year.
I think 125 is the key match in this one--depending on what the ultimate lineups look like.

I once saw a guy move up from 197 to HWT and do well.
Four. I wouldn't consider either Arnold or Chittum right now, but I would Ayala. Certainly, more than Terukina given the track record.
I'm not going to make rash judgements based on one early season match. Now if the results keep happening, I'll change my mind.
I would expect that Bastida will roll whether he is an AA or not. The Iowa heavy is not good.
At 157, I'll take the Franek over Chittum at this point. Franek is tough and a known commodity, while I need to see more of Chittum. That said, I do not see Franek (not a big bonus guy) majoring Chittum as another poster predicted.
And throw out "theoretically" in the 141 bout. Woods is a huge favorite and will likely get at least a major.
The key swing bout is 125, and maybe 197 as well.
This an ESPN teaser designed to get viewers for ESPN+. I’m all for it if it grows the sport and provides some real competition to Flo.
Bout sheet shows Patrick Kennedy wrestling today at 174, with Arnold one of the possibles at 184.
I’m leaning @smalls103 ’s side on this. Toss ups go to Iowa until proven otherwise. They’ve won so many in a row that I can’t make the leap to picking ISu.
But if ISU wins 125 …

Starting at 125

Terukina is mediocre. Lots of people getting their hopes up about this match based on one match.
The guy has been a NQ qualifier type his whole career. Ayala was a definitive favorite there.
Sounds like he was the real McCoy!
133 Teske vs Frost
Big scramble. Surprised no danger TD for Frost. Another scramble. Teske single up in air. Frost fights it off. 0-0 after one.
Frost on bottom. No hand control when he gets to feet. Granby escape. 1-0 Frost. Maybe 50 secs RT. Teske in on a single again. Can’t finish as clock runs out. 1-0 Frost after one.
Teske on bottom. Teske escapes in 27 secs. 1-1. Frost gets a TD on his own shot. 4-1 Frost. Mat return. 1 min to go. Riding tough. Back points from a tilt. 8-1 now. 8-1 final. Wow.
3-3 team score.

It's an example of early-season rankings that work their way out over the course of the season.
Kinda like Notre Dame only being ranked 10th, before they have a chance to beat Duke and the Little Sisters of the Poor.
Teske struggled on bottom against that kid imagine what another 133 could do to him.
I became an Evan Frost fan after the first few scrambles fending off Teske shots, but he really won me over with the takedown.
