LIVE THREAD: Penn State vs. Lehigh (Sunday, Dec. 5th, 2 PM)

[dmm53]

It's on BTN+ for those not attending in person.

How does everyone see this dual playing itself out?

So many variables with the lineup: flu, injuries, redshirts, weights that haven't been decided yet, and so on.

As Donald Rumsfeld once put it, "There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know."

Here (below) is WrestleStat's projected lineups and outcome. Their forecasts, however, often confound me. For example, they have Jordan Wood beating Kerk, despite the fact that K. majored Wood 12-2 last year and has a much better record against common opponents. Wrestlestat is good with the stats but not so great with prognostication based upon those stats. Don't see why some of the bugs can't be shaken out.

How does everyone see this dual playing possibly itself out?

You mean the one against Iowa in January?

 

[mcpat]

This one could be close until 197 if we’re missing RBY and Brooks. Assuming they’re not wrestling:

125 Lane Maj 0-4
133 Hines Maj 0-8
141 Lee Maj 4-8
149 BB Dec 7-8
157 Humphreys Dec 7-11
165 Edsel Dec 10-11
174 Starocci Maj 14-11
184 Burkhart Dec 14-14
197 Dean Fall 20-14
HWT Kerk Maj 24-14

Hope to be wrong at 125, 133, 157 and 184.

Hines lost today, FWIW.

Hines lost today, FWIW.

Impossible. Wrestlestat said he’d win.

Hines lost today, FWIW.

That was a hell of a match, and worth catching if that's even possible. Freshman Gable Strickland, who is quickly becoming my favorite LH wrestler (and from Benton, btw), got himself cradled in the opening minute by Hines and was immediately down 6. He never went away though and clawed his way back. With under 15 seconds in the third, down a point or two, he hit a beautiful cradle on Hines (pictured below) for four and the win.

Crazy about RBY. I saw him riding a bike up hill on campus Thursday.... at Burrows and College.

 

[PASLP2]

Will Kerk be healthy enough to go tomorrow?

Good post, but I don’t know about them unknown unknowns …

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Howdy, friends. Just settling in here at Rec for my first dual back since the 2019-2020 season. Crowd a little slow to fill in but a nice buzz in the air outside. Will provide any illness/injury updates as I get them,

Nah I know I can listen to him, but just wondering if he’ll be the broadcast announcer on BTN+ stream.

I saw AB in street clothes outside. He’s probably out again. Bassetts are here too, fwiw.

You should see guys back in the lineup today

more importantly, where did you / are you eating and/or drinking?

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Trackwrestling lists RBY as back, but no Brook or Kerkvliet in the lineup. Pair of extra matches gonna happen as well.

 

[backdrft76]

Flo streaming problems seemed to have hit Byers.
2nd round of flu has hit the team recently.
125 will be Campbell or Shunk.
133 is RBY vs a 125 backup
141 is Lee going for 100 win
And that's where the feed died.

Back at it.
BB
Negron or Bearclaw at 157 vs #10
Edsell vs #27
Carter
Ball
Dean
Eddie Smith vs Wood

Blumer and the other 157 as 2 extra matches.

 

[west2east]

Just RBY Kerk still out. Heard Kerk might go but isn't

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

more importantly, where did you / are you eating and/or drinking?

I just got up around 1 and as there is a part of me who is still a college student, I will be stopping at Wings Over on the way back to Harrisburg

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

I see Penn State wrestling is still using Vox Populi by Thirty Seconds to Mars as its pre-match video song. That's what, year five of that?

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Announced lineups:

125: Lane-Shunk/Campbell
133: Seymour-RBY
141: McGonagle-Lee
149: Bryant-Bartlett
157: Humphreys/Frinzi-Barraclough
165: Meyer-Edsell
174: Logan-Starocci
184: Wright/Burkhart-Ball
197: Davis-Dean
285: Wood-Eddie Smith

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Campbell gets the go at 125 against Jaret Lane.

 

[mcpat]

Excited to see Campbell give it a go today!

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

P1: First minute feeling out period. Campbell heavy on the head here. Lots of handfighting. Lane in on a sweep single to the right. Elevates and finishes. Campbell up and out. End 1: Lane 2, Campbell 1.

 

[pish69]

Not getting anything on BTN+

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

P2: Lane starts down and is out to make it 3-1. Campbell in on a shot but gets pancaked to his back for 2+4. Now 9-1. Campbell gets a reversal now to make it 9-3. Lane escape. END 2: Lane 10, Campbell 3.

Thinking Campbell may not be the answer at 125...

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

P3: Campbell goes under and Lane working hard for the turn. Nearly gets it but Campbell is able to roll through. Lane with a boot in on the right side. Lane rides it out for an 11-3 major decision.

Lehigh 4, Penn State 0.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

RBY back to a fairly loud ovation.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

P1: RBY with a sweep single to left. Finishes for 2. Goes catch and release to make it 2-1. Sweep elbow pass single to make it 4-1. Releases again after a restart to make it 4-2. Seymour in deep on a single but RBY sprawls and eventually gets behind for 2. 6-2. END 1: RBY 6, Seymour 2.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

P2: Bravo-Young takes neutral, gets a quick 2. Release. Back in on a single, doubles off to make it 10-3. Bravo-Young rides out the last minute and it's 10-3 with RT nearly locked.

Youth And Depth On Display As Lehigh Welcomes Back Fans For Brown and White Wrestle-offs - Lehigh University Athletics

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The fans returned to Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall for the first time since February 2020 and the 1,131 in attendance were treated to 14 bouts

Seymour 4 Lane 2. 125 lb Lehigh wrestle off.

Try to fast forward. All the way.

 

[pish69]

Try to fast forward. All the way.

Working now. I watch on the Apple TV. Missed first 2 periods of 125

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

P3: Seymour takes down. RBY cuts and quickly jumps over a Seymour shot to make it 12-4. Cuts, 2 more. Very, very active today for RBY. A go behind makes it 16-6. Single to left leg makes it 18-6 and the crowd is dying for a stall call. I think Seymour has been relatively active tbh. RBY cuts to 18-7. Biiiig double late to make it 20-7 then a RT points makes it 21-7.

Penn State 4, Lehigh 4.
