PSU - Nebraska Dual Official Thread

[Hotshoe]

1st world problems. Lmao. Worried? Ha ha. Hell no.

 

[Law-Deezie]

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

Damn good question...I didn’t realize that until you mentioned it...

 

[RLSalty]

It’s called cycling and peaking. Everyone looks tired and there is a reason for it.

i hear ya, and yet RBY looked completely energized compared to scuffle??

 

[NittanyChris]

Nickal’s streak ends

LMAO at the Iowa fan rejoicing that the undefeated PSU Hodge leader only won by decision. Comical.

 

[Brian LB-U]

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.

Cael said as much earlier this week.

 

[PAgeologist]

you like the wiscy or husker effort better?

I'll go with the effort against the Huskers. At least today, Nick and Berge won their close matches where they lost against Wisc.

I still think they are training hard and that might cause some of these "uninspired looking" matches. Everything is prepping to peak in March, which this team seems to do better than any other.

RBY was sick during the scuffle. I did not think RBY look that great today

 

[lookleft goright]

Man Cassar can move!!

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Damn good question...I didn’t realize that until you mentioned it...

I would really like to know. I think the answer could be "many years".

 

[Tom McAndrew]

285: #4 Anthony Cassar vs. #14 David Jensen

230.4 lbs. vs. 275.6 lbs. from weigh-ins

Per 1
Stalemate with 1:38 left. Collar ties boredom. Cassar drops to the legs but can't get anything. End.

Per 2
Jensen defers, so Cassar takes bottom. Cassar up quickly and out, 1-0. Cassar tries a shot, blocked. Caesar tries again, blocked. Jensen tries a leg shot and Cassar snaps down on the head and gets behind for the TD with 4 sec left, 3-0.

Per 3
Jensen takes bottom. Jensen up, taken back down. He's to his feet again and is out, 3-1. Cassar shoots on the legs, gets behind for the TD, 5-1. Jensen is flattened. Cassar had a 2-on-1 but loses it. Jensen gets away, 5-2. Cassar tries a double, is blocked, Cassar with a single and gets the TD, 7-2. RT goes over 1 min. Cassar cuts him with 18 sec left, 7-3 He gets a double for a TD, 9-3, and cuts him, 9-4. Cassar tries for a late TD but can't get it. With 1;10 in RT, it's a 10-4 victory.

25-6, PSU, is the final match score

 

[Countrylion]

so you go 2:45 without taking one shot... that is not stalling? Glad Hall pushed the action in the 1st period

 

[Afw6006]

Was Burroughs in the post-match handshake lineup? Thought I saw him

 

[jmadden1998]

LMAO at the Iowa fan rejoicing that the undefeated PSU Hodge leader only won by decision. Comical.

Uhhh...stating a fact is rejoicing? You seem a little defensive. Go start another thread on Stoll ducking.

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Penn State

 

[AgSurfer]

Everything is prepping to peak in March, which this team seems to do better than any other.

And certainly better than the Hawks!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Only bonus point victory came from RBY

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Takedown battle: 24-7, PSU

PSU has been averaging 43 TDs per dual

 

[dmm53]

Take-aways?

RBY and Cassar looked good.
Nolf solid.
Manville wrestled tough.
Cenzo good and smart enough to win.
Lots of (too) close matches, though Nickal and Hall probably weren't truly in danger of losing.
Nick Lee has to figure a way not to give up the takedown on his own single leg shots.

What was it . . . 5 matches by 2 point or less wins?

Only 1 bonus point and no back points. Surprising.

 

[dmm53]

Indiana and Purdue coming up. Should (hopefully) be a couple of massacres and confidence builders before a very tough Michigan match.

 

[El-Jefe]

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

Insert Mike Evans joke here. Either one will work.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nolf is the Ridge Riley Award Winner for the dual meet

Takedown battle: 24-7, PSU

PSU has been averaging 43 TDs per dual

Hard to get takedowns when opposing teams are on roller skates moving backwards. It seems like some opponents are wrestling for moral victories. And, the refs are letting them get away with it.

My son and I were watching the match and he said, “This is boring. When is the other team gonna wrestle?”

 

[dmm53]

A "bottom line" (an expression I don't like) and positive note (or maybe "spin") is that Penn State won all the matches they were supposed to win and wrestled tough in the two (125 and 184) they were expected to lose.

 

[dmm53]

Purdue is wrestling Michigan now on FLO if anyone wants to take a look at two upcoming opponents. Massa is wrestling now.

 

[Hotshoe]

We lost 2 expected matches. Mission accomplished. Period. I trust Cael and have not a worry in the world. People wrestle us defensively because they have to. Open up and you're on your back.

 

[NoVaLion2]

No audio and Byers is ahead of the action. So I’ll watch in silence

When he's ahead (almost always) just pause for a few seconds. I started out with him about 35s ahead, but had it synced shortly after that.

 

[NittanyChris]

Uhhh...stating a fact is rejoicing? You seem a little defensive. Go start another thread on Stoll ducking.

LOL. Nice try. You celebrating a Nickal streak ending speaks VOLUMES about the sad state of Iowa wrestling.

 

[dmm53]

I still think Penn State wrestles better in the evening. Hard to get energized on a cold winter Sunday early in the day.

 

[PSUcup1]

Just got home from a youth tournament... has it been made public why shak didn’t go today?

(BTW my son took a 2nd place today )

 

[PSUer1989]

When he's ahead (almost always) just pause for a few seconds. I started out with him about 35s ahead, but had it synced shortly after that.

I hit pause and waited until the clock showed a time he mentioned, but when I hit play again it went to the live time. I gave up and just watched with the crowd noise instead

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

What Mason giving up? Like 20 lbs?

Per Byers, Manville weighed in at 168.3. So he's probably giving up around 15 lb.

 

[Bob_Anderson]

Just got home from a youth tournament... has it been made public why shak didn’t go today?

(BTW my son took a 2nd place today )

according to Byers, he has a very minor injury and could have wrestled if it was March.

 

[matter7172]

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.

White is very good at holding position but doesn't do much else.

 

[NoVa Lion]

I hit pause and waited until the clock showed a time he mentioned, but when I hit play again it went to the live time. I gave up and jist watched with the crowd noise instead

In my experience hitting pause on the BTN+ stream does what you said. However, hitting pause on the LionVision Audio with Byers does work, although I generally have to hit pause several times until I get them synced up.

 

[El-Jefe]

Per Byers, Manville weighed in at 168.3. So he's probably giving up around 15 lb.

Not that we will need him, but he won't be able to wrestle 165 next week due to weight managemnet rules.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

The way Nolf was playing around, smiling before Bo's match, he is not hurt. Loose, smiling and having FUN.

I hope there were more than 2 in the bracket

 

[jmadden1998]

If top 3 in the nation means a program is in a sad state, then I guess you are right.

 

[PSUcup1]

Lol .... there was

He lost to the same kid last year in round robin where he would have won a 4 foot trophy. Kid has become his mortal enemy at 8 years old lol

 

[PSUcup1]

according to Byers, he has a very minor injury and could have wrestled if it was March.

Thanks

Totally agree.
