Penn State vs Lehigh

[NittanyChris]

SO psyched for the Lehigh match! Interested to get people's thoughts on the four most intriguing matchups, IMO.
RBY v Parker - Is Parker gonna go? Man, I sure hope so. Tough kid and a win by RBY would likely mark his entry into the top 20. Gimme RBY by 4.
Hall v Kutler - Kutler slowed both of his matches versus Hall last season to a crawl. Hall was probably never in danger of losing, but they were too close for comfort. Does Hall open it up and create some distance this year? I'll say Hall by 5.
Rasheed v Preisch - Preisch is so tough. He could stymie Shak and win a tight one. A real toss up, IMO. Hope I'm wrong, but say Preisch wins by 1-2 points.
Cassar v Wood - I think AC's speed will be way too much for Wood. Say AC wins 8-2.
What do people think?
WE ARE!!!

Penn State wins all 4 weights.

Ok...care to elaborate?

This will be the third different weight for a Rasheed-Preisch bout. Rasheed is 0-2. Really interested to see if he turns that around.

RBY probably won’t wrestle Parker, but Paetzal isn’t bad. He has a win over Bridges this year.

Is Preisch banged up? I notice he didn't go against Michigan.

First not sure who is/isn't wrestling.
I doubt Parker wrestles, but if he does RBY will get his test and RBY's quickness and gas tank will pave a path for a fairly dominant win.

Hall is the one who sets the tone. Kutler will try to minimize engagement and if Hall allows it the match score could be close, but I doubt it will ever feel like Hall might lose. Even if Hall pushes the pace and forces active engagement he only wins by 3 or 4.

Rasheed is at his weight and isn't giving up strength or gas. This match has the possibility of becoming a dominant statement type of match.

Cassar dominates Wood. He can within reason name the score. AC can take Wood down as often as he wants and can ride him as long as he wants. If AC wants a major he should major him.

How do those blue and white goggles fit Nit6??
Fan of neither team, but a dominant win over a healthy Parker?? Name the score against Wood?? Lol

Now that's more like it. At least I know what you're thinking. It'd be great if Shak stuck him.

Hi there.

I’ll take a guess, 12-3 Anthony.

Weak outing by Lehigh!!! Very disappointing. They threw in towel before they even arrived at Rec Hall. Did they even score a takedown?

Minus 5 starters, we were great but don’t be disrespectful

The only guy who was disappointing IMHO was Kutler. I do not remember that he even attempted any offense. He was the one guy who I thought was not even trying to win. The other guys were overmatched but gave it a go. What was Kutler's plan? Counter and scramble? Sure, that is an excellent idea versus Hall.

Pretty much nailed the Hall and Cassar match. The other two didn’t happen but gotta now say you’d have nailed those as well.

I was happy to read in the match thread you and your brother had a good day. Don't wait so long to attend your next one.
The Arizona St match will see my father, his son, grandson (my nephew) and great-grandson (my grandson) sitting together, 4 generations. I am looking forward to that outing.
