Wrestling Live Thread: Penn State vs. Nebraska

That's kind of a joke. If he gives him a count he'd obviously cut him and not be losing. Also, Schultz was allowed to stall for 30 seconds at the end before getting a warning as time expired? I'm literally missing Angel Rivera at this point.
 
You can debate the stall calls against Beard, but the real killers were giving up the late escape in the first period, and getting ridden the entire second period.

Still, overall a very decent performance by Beard against a top five guy in the weight class.
 
i tried to explain this when the rumors of his transfer first started haha. it was funny seeing some on here thinking he was going to come in and get some psu magic dust sprinkled on him and light up the scoreboard. he’s always been a win ugly guy and he does a lot of it.

Yea, those matches are not nearly as close as the score - Hildie has dominated many of them. However, the flipside of that is that he's struggled to bonus guys he's thoroughly dominated because he has very little Neutral Offense - this lack of Neutral Offense also makes it very difficult to control matches against top 125 lbers.

Sorry, he rolled through and didn’t warrant 2 stall calls there. One I’ll give you. But not 2.
Then the standing on the edge. lol. Wow.

Beard 2-1 after one. Takes bottom in 2nd.

Shultz putting on a tough ride. Beard in danger of getting called for stalling. And then he gets called. Beard in danger of getting called again. And then gets called. 2-2 now. Beard with head on mat throughout. 2nd period ride out by Shultz.

2-2 after two. 1:22 RT for Shultz.

Shultz takes bottom to start third. Beard gets RT under a minute. Beard then cuts him with 1:30 to go. 3-2 Shultz. Beard with a deep shot and quick finish! 4-3 Beard! Beard hit for stalling when standing holding Shultz leg. Now 4-4. 30 secs to go on restart. Beard cuts him. 5-4 Shultz. Beard aggressive. But Shultz goes full on defense and only gets called as time expired.
Think he was actually hit twice for stalling in that exchange, once before they went off and once for "pushing him off." Ended 6-4. Just horrendous.

I like Michael and think he’s very talented. Unfortunately he deserved to lose that one. Gave up that escape with a little time left in the first period, and then got ridden the whole second period. He needs to clean those things up if he’s going to ever be an All American.
His head was in the mat the entire second period. Hard to argue with the two stall calls in second. On the third stall call, he did just walk him out. I know he had two TDs, but when I think about three stall calls against him, it’s hard to say not warranted.
 
If you are someone who wants a 3 point TD rule change, that match is evidence exhibit A. That was an embarrassing display of wrestling officiating.

How do you hit a wrestler, with the only two take downs in the match, with 4 stall calls, two within seconds of each other to give the match to Nebraska? Ridiculous!
Three stall calls, right?
 
Gable may be the only guy where Kerks blast double doesn’t work. That’s a lethal TD

Um...
A. Beard was an All American last year.
2. The ref gave that match to Schultz. Beard certainly didn't lose it.

Easy you can be scoring points but still be called for stalling in certain situations, yesterday my son won 11-4 in a match with the only takedowns but when he ran the kid out he got called which was correct

I understand you can score and stall, Beard did not stall that many times. You will never convince me he did.
 
Four. Got hit with two in rapid succession to make it 5-4 before the escape. Said he pushed him off.
Shultz had a escape in 1st and two escapes in 3rd. If there were four stalls, he’d have 6 points instead of five.
 
Uh Oh. Kerk is holding his hamstring. Hope it is nothing serious
 
If it is a small injury, he has a month to heal up until Big Tens
