Pick the pinner -- PSU v. Buffalo

[PSUbluTX]

With tomorrow's dual being the final dual of the season and senior night, two questions:
1. Who you got winning by fall?
2. Who you got having the fastest pin?

For frame of reference, I've pasted last year's result for this dual below. We won 55-0 and had no less than 7 pins!

2018 PSU vs Buffalo Dual
125 - Carson Kuhn by FOR
133 - Corey Keener over Justin Patrick by DEC 8-3
141 - Nick Lee over Nick Casella by FALL 4:37
149 - Zain Retherford over Nick Palumbo by FALL 4:10
157 - Bo Pipher over Eric Fasnacht by FALL 1:53
165 - Vincenzo Joseph over Noah Grover by MD 16-8
174 - Mark Hall over Derek Holcomb by FALL 0:56
184 - Bo Nickal over Brett Perry by FALL 0:11
197 - Shakur Rasheed over Joe Ariola by FALL 1:57
285 - Nick Nevills over Nolan Terrance by FALL 2:48

My picks:
1. Nolf, Hall, Shak, Bo (there's a couple others I won't be surprised to see)
2. Bo (not just because he's facing the same guy he pinned in 11 seconds last year . Poor Brett Perry. Probably thought he was avoiding Bo by moving up to 197 this year.)

I call it the “pat” ...Bo with the pat on the back”.

All I know is that Nolf & Nickal will be smelling blood. I'd hate to be the guy they are wrestling. Period!

... 2. Bo (not just because he's facing the same guy he pinned in 11 seconds last year . Poor Brett Perry. Probably thought he was avoiding Bo by moving up to 197 this year.)

I fear Brett Perry is going to “close the gap” on Bo this year and get pinned in the 30-second range.

Really hoping Jason is in a playful mood today, targets the fall at 6:59

And I was hoping he’d be targeting 0:10 so he could smile and say to Bo “Beat that!” as he walked off the mat for the last time. (Which he just might!)

Turns out Cenzo had the quickest pin at Sunday's Buffalo dual. He was 13 seconds faster than Shak and 16 seconds faster than Bo.

It took Bo ~7x longer to pin his guy this year than last and Jason was almost 4 minutes slower to get his pin than Bo Pipher was at 157 last year. Disturbing trend? Maybe a "concerned about pin speed" thread is in order.
