Not sure if PSU checks with Iowa’s SID before publishing this (assume they would have to), but I’d note that Ybarra is listed at 25 along with Ayala. He was not listed by Iowa prior to the Ohio State dual.

Are your sources still saying Ayala is out?

My own two cents is it won’t make much of a difference. I think Hildebrandt’s experience and savvy wins out this time in a close match against Ayala. Also, Hildebrandt is not a huge bonus point machine, so it’s likely just a decision over Ibarra as well.

If I were you I’d be pretty disappointed if Hildebrandt did not major Ybarra. While I picked Hildebrandt to beat Ayala, I think it is 50/50. With Ybarra it is as close to a sure thing for PSU as you can get.

By all accounts...Ayala is injured (I've been hearing the same), doesn't mean the brands brothers wont send him out for worse or wear

Or, burn another red shirt.

Basch was adamant it'll be Gardner on Friday. Cenzo said game time decision.

Cenzo would know.

 

[NittanyChris]

Cenzo would know.

My guess: Cenzo is just politely trying to not steal Gardner’s thunder.

 

[PSU Mike]

Thunder. Yeah.
