Gotta give credit to Sorenson for that effort. It's good for Zain to be pushed.

Kemerer was impressive
Kemmerer is very good, but he wasn't even close to scoring on Jason there. He did better than everybody else, but Nolf showed just how far ahead he is.
Kemerer scrambled well, but it's crazy he didn't get dinged at least twice for stalling

I agree that Nolf is ahead of Kemerer, but that was the best battle Nolf has had this season. Several of Nolf's shots would have been TDs against most other wrestlers. Kemerer was very good on defense. If I recall correctly, Kemerer only got in somewhat on 1 shot, and Nolf's sprawl and heavy hips ended that attempt.
Couple quick whistles on a stalemate and PD (that was not potentially dangerous and Nolf was standing over him and very close to taking him down).
Sorenson obviously very good wrestler but Zain looked a bit off to me...not necessarily because of Sorenson. Didn't look his normal self despite facing good wrestler.....just my opinion.
PLEASE TELL OUR GUYS TO GET AN ANGLE BEFORE SHOOTING...THEY ARE ALL SHOOTING STRAIGHT ON....NICK S AND ZAIN COUPLE HAVE HAD A COUPLE TAKE DOWNS WITH ANGLES !!!!
Forget it Burnsie...It's Carver
Nolf will eventually wear every guy down at 157 this year. It's just a matter of time. Fortunately for Kemmerer Nolf didn't break him until the last 30 seconds of the match, which at that point Nolf was pretty much taking him down at will.
Man...Brands keeps it 100...guy is consistent in his message and showed much respect for PSU and Rec Hall...
I see Zac Brunson (Illini) defeated Myles Amine (Mich), 3-2. Everything is going Illini's way in the close matches.
Halftime Grades
Suriano - B+ I think he'll open up a little earlier next time and can close the gap.
Carpenter - B as expected
Jimmy - A I thought that was huge gut check for Jimmy - down at CHA and just takes it to him and beats him "iowa-style".
Zain - B+ great match by Sorensen - Zain was never able to get low on his ankles like he did in previous matches
Nolf B+ made adjustment in 2nd and 3rd to get to ankles and was able to finish quicker. KemDawg is tough in scramble situations and did seem to anticipate some Nolf funk that might have caught others not as familiar off guard.

...Nolf with 6 good shots in 1st period and not one stall call!!!!...
...oh, well...it's CHA...
...oh, well...it's CHA...
Sorenson looked quicker and fresher the whole match. I give Zain credit cause looked gassed.
At the end of the day fellas you gotta love the spirit of competition and the competetivness of the athletes...the sport and tonight is what wrestling needs.
I was maybe more impressed that, up until the last 30 second OT period, Sorensen was able to get out repeatedly from bottom, and relatively quickly each time. That was a huge issue for Sorensen in previous matches with Retherford.
Hang on nothing! He wouldn't be denied in a hostile environment. He was more than Sorensen.
Kemerer looked every bit the size of Nolf. Still don't get all of this talk that he is an undersized 157lber.
LOL....Just board talk Tom....lol..Hey i know Jason will tech Mike or major him next time...Mike was just trying to keep it close...He did the samething when i watched them at club....Jason was not happy....If Zain gets angles he can get takedowns. Not sure what he was thinking....I think he needed a real close match though..It will only help him.
