Match Thread Ohio State dual thread - Feb 14

If the match goes chalk, it's 6-4 for PSU, with guaranteed bonus at 165, probable at 184, and potential at 125, 149, and 197.

The one concern is Garcia staying off his back vs Bouzakis, who goes hard after near-side cradles.
So much for PSU bonus at 125.
 
133 - #8 Braeden Davis VS #11 Nic Bouzakis

Period 1:
Come on Braeden! Time to score! Tying up to start. Stoppage & restart. Davis shoots, Bouzakis counters & whips Davis to the mat, but Davis pops back up quickly. Bouzakis whips Davis to the mat again. Bouzakis horses Davis over again, then Davis pops back up & they're circling in neutral. Bouzakis shoots & gets a leg. Davis gets a leg too & the ref calls Neutral Danger on Davis. They keep scrambling & Bouzakis looks to be in better position, but Davis is locked on the leg, 30-sec left. Stalemate & restart. Way to hang on Braeden. I think Davis is trying to wear Bouzakis out, so he can pin him later. No score to end the 1st period. 0-0

Period 2:
Bouzakis takes down. He gets to his feet. Davis tries to lift him up, and then drags him back to the Resilite. Bouzakis gets back to his feet & gets the escape, 1-0. Davis has 30-sec RT. Back to the tie up. Davis drops in on a leg. Bouzakis counters & locks through the crotch. Davis keeps working & gets the TD, 3-1. Davis has a claw ride. Bouzakis rolls & then locks up a cradle. WTF!!!! Bouzakis gets a reversal, 3-3. Bouzakis takes Davis to his back again, but Davis rolls through, so no back points. 3-3. Davis +1:15 RT.

Penn State is challenging the reversal. Official review underway. Challenge lost & score is still tied at 3-3. I'm not sure what happened there. I don't know who challenged what. More delay for something. Maybe PSU is challenging now & OSU challenged before? The refs are back at the table & PSU gets to keep the brick for some reason. I'm not sure what that was all about, but Davis got a nice breather there. Maybe that's just coaching on a master level?

Period 3:
Davis takes down & gets a quick escape, 4-3. Davis has 49-sec RT. Davis drops in on a leg. He shelves it & takes Bouzakis to the mat & finishes the TD, 7-3. The ref trips & falls to the mat. Now, he's tumbling around too! Davis goes over 1-min RT & the ref gets back to his feet. Bouzakis hits a reversal, 7-5, and gets Davis bellied out. Bouzakis cuts Davis, 8-5. Bouzakis shoots, nothing. Davis shoots, but nothing. Bouzakis has a front headlock & rolls Davis over, but Davis stays squared up & keeps defending until time expires. Gutsy win by Davis. That's an ugly win, but it's still a win! Way to go Braeden!

Braeden Davis DEC Nic Bouzakis 8-5

Team Score

PSU: 3

Yeah, that aged like fine milk.

Still, Davis going 133 means a real shot at winning one of the weights we weren't likely to win before, and likely no bonus for anOSU.
It aged, but he was on the way to it. He needs to be smarter on bottom. That was pretty poor.
 
I still have no clue what's gonna happen. Lol
So where is the riding time at? How are the refs not looking at all of this at once? This is dumb.
