Maryland dual thread - Sunday, 2/9

Jaxon Smith has been bonused twice in his career

Last year by AB 13-4 (3 point takedowns also)

And this TF by Carter

Carter always seems to have another gear ... and we see it in March always. I think we saw it today because he clearly took exception to what happened to Kasak (who he views as his little brother) and the subsequent celebration.

Final Team Score

MD: 10
I thought it was cool when Seth and Greg came out for the handshake at the intros that they both had a grin.
 
They took Kasak off the mat for a concussion protocol & he never returned. But, the way Kasak reacted, it looked to me like he took a hard shot to his injured forehead. Hopefully, he snaps back quickly.
Slip: that’s what I thought too …. initially. A hard shot to a batch of stitches hurts like hell as we all well know. The fact that he was down on all fours for 2+ minutes . . That indicates more than ringing stitches. Also, he had a guy under each arm as he gingerly got up. Looks like he got his bell rung. Our coaches pulled the plug pretty quickly unlike a certain coach from north of the PA border.

Wow, that sucks! I didn't see him being helped off the mat. The B1G+ feed zoomed way out when he was down on the mat, so it was difficult to see what was going on. I didn't realize it was that serious. I was hoping he just blew out his stitches. Hopefully, he recovers quickly. Tyler's become one of my favorite wrestlers!

I am wondering if CCC took that "discussion" after the Maryland meeting last year to heart... no one went for the pin. (except of SVN who held his opponent in his back for what seemed like months)
 
From the stands, it sure looked liked the Terp was targeting Kasak's head with the two eye pokes. When Kasak went down for good, it looked like part of the planned assault. We had no idea what was going on until the hand was raised. That's why there was booing. It would have been helpful for the PA announcer to keep the fans informed.
 
I think Kasak got a little dazed in his last three matches. He has re-hit that cut brow every match, since. I hope he is not experiencing multiple concussions. What happens when Tyler and Meyer hit heads in the finals and get a double injury default? Co-champions?

By the way. Miller still has to get past Joey Blaze before Bigs to keep #1. 50/50 he can.

I thought Carter was going to plant Smith right into Coach Clemsen's lap after his practice throw into the front row of the north stands. I can guarantee you that Carter didn't forget the comments from last year.
