Wrestling LIVE THREAD: Penn State vs. Iowa

[pawrestlersintn]

Nice no-takedown win by Young.

 

[mcpat]

BearClaw got rode entire 3rd period. No hand control. Agree with others that he shouldn’t have taken bottom. Only looked for hand control after he was standing.

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

Iowa guys, do we care about the RBY match anymore? Did Kaleb do literally one thing that match?

 

[PSU James]

Does Kaleb young have any offense except Mat Returns?

 

[nitlion6]

Never called, but Young driving Barraclough off mat was a top stall. These should be called.

Other than that Young had a tough ride when he needed one.

Young will be happy he isn't around to grapple with Levi.

 

[bowandarrow]

That matched sucked.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Young is doing 100% of nothing.

BearClaw isn't doing much either,

 

[Waxman1607]

We are terrible on bottom and we keep going down.lol

 

[NittanyChris]

Young is ranked 12th? Wow. Extremely unimpressive. Can’t see him being an AA this year.

 

[Waxman1607]

I guess that will help in March.

 

[PSUcup1]

Young literally never got out from behind the hips. Just awful. That was as bad as I’ve ever seen

 

[GogglesPaizano]

Negron for President

 

[WEAREPSU_LI]

BearClaw isn't doing much either,

He's trying to escape. I think you have to warn the top man for not trying to turn him.

 

[Hotshoe]

Nice no-takedown win by Young.

And this is what needs to change in folkstyle. That's not wrestling.

 

[mcpat]

BearClaw isn't doing much either,

Except get to his feet 15x I guess.

 

[johnstownsteel]

Young wwasn’t gonna get called for top stalling at Carver no matter what. Barraclough should have gone neutral. But I’m a layman. Him going bottom was probably to see what he will have against Young come March. Because?

Well…because Cael can coach.

 

[Lion8286]

Nice no-takedown win by Young.

How many takedowns does Iowa have so far? One?

 

[okinburg1]

PSU 10 Hawks 6 at the break

 

[PSUcup1]

That’s what literally ruins the sport

 

[lions#1]

Terrell got rag dolled that 3rd period

 

[nitlion6]

The Claw is infuriating. How has he not improved? How is he so bad at this?

Wrestling at this level ain't easy and Young has a couple AAs to his credit. It isn't like he sucks.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

That matched sucked.

Concur. Folk style at its near-worst.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Angel Rivera is so f'ing awful - how on earth is that not a complete stall-ride by Young? At one point, he did absolutely nothing but literally drive Barraclough off the mat after he stood - literally put his shoulder into the small of Barraclough's back and ran him off the mat, no stall call despite the rulebook literally stating that a stall is to be called when a top wrestler does this.

 

[mcpat]

How many takedowns does Iowa have so far? One?

To be far, ADS had none on 50 shots.

 

[bowandarrow]

The Claw did nothing to deserve a win. But running out with no stall signaled a bathroom break for me.

 

[Verolion]

I don't understand why many stallings weren't called on Young.

 

[NittanyChris]

Young wwasn’t gonna get called for top stalling at Carver no matter what. Barraclough should have gone neutral. But I’m a layman. Him going bottom was probably to see what he will have against Young come March. Because?

Well…because Cael can coach.

Except Barraclough even qualifying is far from a given. But, I do get your point.

 

[Rhino80]

You have to be able to control hands at this level. Thats elementary technique.

 

[GogglesPaizano]

I don't understand the lack of any semblance of a move on mat returns. I learned a gramby roll and a switch in 5th grade. For crying out loud.

 

[AndEEss]

Light at the end of the 157lb tunnel: Levi Haines.

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Really your an idiot

You're

 

[dunkej01]

Now the literal stars go.

Who's stars are brighter?

We ARE!

 

[bowandarrow]

What we drinking tonight folks?

Jack and cokes for me, keeping it simple.

 

[LHavenlion]

Murin and Young are strong AF

 

[Cstroke]

Weird I always thought the top guy was supposed to try for a turn.

 

[82bordeaux]

frankly, he's lucky that those stalemates take so long because it creates the illusion that he's doing more than he is. if desanto would shoot, then back right out, then shoot again, he might have gotten that extra point.

and that's my larger point. rby is on a different level, but he's creating a path to victory for desanto if he gets an aggressive official. he got outshot like 15-1 in that match. doesn't need to be that way.

A: RBY won
B: RBY showed nothing
C: RBY just renewed his annual lease in Desanto’s head

 

[RB-Old]

50 years from now Hawkeyes will be talking about the time Kaleb Young beat an unranked Bearclaw 2-0 as the greatest match they ever saw.

Also, Bearclaw could beat that guy if he just let it fly. Young has nothing.

 

[NittanyChris]

PSU 10 Hawks 6 at the break

With Murderer’s Row upcoming!!!

WE ARE!!!

 

[WreslingFan0314]

No automatic unsportsmanlike for touching a ref like that when arguing?

He wasn't arguing. He was trying to point out that RBY was grabbing his toes illegally (I'm not agreeing or disagreeing). He needs to do so more calmly. I think the referee, knowing Desanto, what he was saying and that he backed off after telling him to do so, contributed to nothing more.

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Except get to his feet 15x I guess.

Yep. Followed 15X mat returns. Wash, rinse, and repeat.
