PSU - Nebraska Dual Official Thread

[dmm53]

Nolf didn't look as aggressive or as interested in dominating today. The win never seemed in doubt though. Too bad he didn't get that final takedown to preserve the bonus victory streak. I think only Nickal and Mueller at 125 have bonus-ed everyone, and Mueller only has 6 matches.

Today's referee's skill ser has been overwhelmed by the level of wrestling. Without sugar coating it, he sucks.

Standing behind Hall he calls locked hands and then with the video replay he tells Cael I can't see if they were locked or not.

 

[dmm53]

Hall gave us his first takedown of the year I believe. Labriola is tough.

 

[Law-Deezie]

C’mon Mason...dominate!!!

 

[ptomaselli]

What Mason giving up? Like 20 lbs?

 

[dmm53]

Manville really "manning" up and being a tough team player this year. Gotta give him credit.

Manville really "manning" up and being a tough team player this year. Gotta give him credit.

Absolutely, I feel like he’s right on the cusp. Not too bad being down 2-1 after one.

 

[dmm53]

Manville is positionally very good. All that Greco work is paying off.

 

[Afw6006]

I think Manville needs to bring back the head-wrap for every match whether he needs it or not

 

[Law-Deezie]

What Mason giving up? Like 20 lbs?

Easily...

Finesilver at Keystone

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

White is good, but he wasn't close to scoring on VJ. He didn't even attempt. The gap is getting bigger.

If you consider a 2-0 win widening the gap..

 

[Law-Deezie]

Mason just gave up too much size...heck of an effort tho...

 

[RandyL]

Manville body better suited to duckunders

 

[lookleft goright]

The ref does seem a bit out of his league today. Seems like he does not want to be seen as favoring PSU.

 

[dmm53]

What's up with this ref?

 

[El-Jefe]

If you consider a 2-0 win widening the gap..

You would do well to review their match history.

184: Mason Manville vs. #5 Taylor Venz

168.8 lbs. is how Manville weighed in today

Rasheed is possible next weekend, and likely in 2 weeks, per Ironhead

Per 1
Venz circles behind and gets the TD, 0-2. Manville battles out after some time, 1-2. Manville in on an ankle, and stoppage for PD as the knee was bent. End. RT @ ?? (I think it's 48 sec for Venz)

Per 2
Venz takes bottom. He's out pretty quickly, 1-3. Manville shoots but is blocked, and Venz nearly with a counter, nothing. Venz snaps the head down, nothing. 30 sec left. Venz in on a single, Manville avoids it, End

Per 3
Manville takes neutral. Manville in low on the right leg, but PD stops the action. Manville in again on the right leg, but Venz snaps down and circles behind for the counter TD, 1-5. 1 min left. Stall warning on Manville. Mason works to his knees. Stall call on Manville, 1-6. End. With 2:15 in RT for Venz, it's a 7-1 decision for Venz.

19-6, PSU

That locks up the team victory for PSU

 

[Grass]

Anyone concerned with Cenzo's O? He also did nothing on top. DOn't get me wrong, He's great but wondered if he plays some of these matches too close to the vest?
2 Titles should tell me to shut UP!!!!!!!!!!!

White's game plan was to keep his distance and not tie up with VJ. Sorta like what Rivera did against Lee, but Rivera actually attempted some shots and was able to get some TD's. White's length advantage made it easier to stay away from VJ and VJ was going to have a hard time getting to his offense. Let's also remember he missed last weekend's matches.

 

[86Engineer]

Berger did torque Nolf's leg hard (purposely ) and got a dangerous call......probably a second late. He looked like it hurt him. Fingers crossed

Another guy said he might have been catching his breath...hope so...but to me it did look like he winced as he took a step.

 

[Law-Deezie]

Get your popcorn ready, Bo’s up

 

[Rip_E_2_Joe_PA]

Another guy said he might have been catching his breath...hope so...but to me it did look like he winced as he took a step.

and I thought he sneezed. then yawned

Seriously, I hope it was nothing but our misperceptions.

 

[Locolion]

Everytime there is a shot of the coaches in the corner Varner just looks like some guy that got to sit in the corner with the coaches rather than a coach. Not saying that has anything to do with his coaching abilities. Just the body language of hands in his pockets just kind of hanging out as the coaches speak with the wrestlers

Make no mistake, VARNER adds significant value to the program

 

[jmadden1998]

This was an average attempt at trolling this board. You can do better.

I watched the match, not trolling at all. Neither guy made much of an attempt to shoot. Vincenzo is better on top and that won him the match.

197: #1 Bo Nickal vs. #11 Eric Schultz

Per 1
Bo shoots on the left, nothing. Bo shoots again, but is blocked. Bo in the right and gets the TD, 2-0. He looks for a cradle but it isn't there. Bo cuts him, 2-1. Bo in on a single, to a double, Schultz tried to roll thru but Bo gets the TD, 4-1. OOB with 46 sec. Schultz to his feet and Bo cuts him, 4-2. Bo in on a left leg but Schultz fights it off. End.

Per 2
Bo takes bottom. Bo to his feet and he's out, 5-2. Bo tries to get a low single, but Schultz blocks. Bo circles behind and gets the TD, 7-2. RT goes over 1 min (it was over 1 before the period, but dropped back below). Schultz out, 7-3. Bo snaps the head, but the buzzer sounds. End. RT @ 1:13 for Bo

Per 3
Schultz takes bottom. Schultz tries to stand, Bo battles him. Bo working a tight waste. Schultz then gets to his feet and Bo basically cuts him, 7-4. Schultz shoots, Bo tries to counter, nothing. Schultz shoots and gets in on a leg, nothing. Under 30 left. Bo pulls down on the head. Bo shoots and Schultz with nice counter double at the double. With RT, it's a 8-6 victory for Bo

22-6, PSU

 

[Bob_Anderson]

when was the last time PSU wrestled a dual with no back points?

 

[jmadden1998]

Nolf didn't look as aggressive or as interested in dominating today. The win never seemed in doubt though. Too bad he didn't get that final takedown to preserve the bonus victory streak. I think only Nickal and Mueller at 125 have bonus-ed everyone, and Mueller only has 6 matches.

Nickal’s streak ends

 

[El-Jefe]

Fire up the "concerned about Bo" thread.

 

[RLSalty]

too close for comfort all over the place the last 2 sundays...

 

[LemonPie]

when was the last time PSU wrestled a dual with no back points?

Been hard to come by since the scuffle. Not sure what's up. Similar stuff happened with Zain last year.

 

[bowandarrow]

Both bonus streaks come to an end.

 

[PA Power]

I'm going to write this and the Wisconsin dual off by saying they're "training through" this part of the season. At least I hope that's what it is because these efforts have been pretty underwhelming given this team's expectations.

 

[RLSalty]

you like the wiscy or husker effort better?

 

[Grass]

Today's referee's skill ser has been overwhelmed by the level of wrestling. Without sugar coating it, he sucks.

Standing behind Hall he calls locked hands and then with the video replay he tells Cael I can't see if they were locked or not.

This guy struggled in another match I watched. Forget what teams were wrestling, but neither fan base seemed happy.

 

[ptomaselli]

Spoiled fans who expect PSU to take a dump on everyone.

 

[a_mshaffer]

Looks like Nebbie is a well conditioned team at this point. They worked hard for the most part.

 

[wrestlinPSU]

too close for comfort all over the place the last 2 sundays...

It’s called cycling and peaking. Everyone looks tired and there is a reason for it. Might there be some value in wrestling close matches?

 

[El-Jefe]

 

[Afw6006]

Make no mistake, VARNER adds significant value to the program

Definitely. Thrilled he is there to roll with the heavier guys. Just stating an observation. I know he is there to somewhat shadow the coaches too so that he can be better prepared to start his own coaching career

 

[CholleyVandine]

If you consider a 2-0 win widening the gap..

First match: White by tech
Second match: White in OT
Third match: Cenzo in OT
Fourth match: Cenzo 2-0 in a match where he was never threatened

Yep. Widening the gap.
