Bo Nickal vs. Mitch Sliga
Per 1:
Sliga is NW's only ranked guy. Bo gets a low single, has Sliga bouncing, Bo drags him toward the center, still dancing, and Bo throws him off the mat after they go OOB. Sliga in on a head outside single, Bo scrambles and has Sliga's right ankle, and converts it to a TD, 2-0. Sliga being pretty cautious. BO cuts him at under 1 min, 2-1. Sliga shoots in, Bo with a throw but Sliga rolls thru, nothing. Bo reaches for a ankle, nothing. End. Bo has 46 sec in RT
Per 2:
Sliga takes bottom. Caution on Bo (put his head in a wrong position). Bo nearly gets a tilt, nothing. RT now over 1 min. Sliga starts to work up, Bo maintains control. 1 min left. Not much. Now 30 sec left. Bo went for a cradle, nothing. 15 sec left. End. 2:46 in RT for BO
Per 3:
Bo takes down. He's up quickly, and out in 5 sec, 3-1. Sliga with a shot, Bo sprawls, and a stalemate at 1:26 left. Bo reaches for a ankle, nothing. Sliga in on a low single, but PD stoppage with 1:14. Collar ties. Sliga shoots but misses. 45 sec left. Sliga in on a single, and Bo locks a cradle and gets swipes. He gets 4 NF, and RT, so it's a 10-1. Nearly got the cradle.

Probably not a bad thing if Nickal occasionally sees all seven minutes of a match.

Hall should probably speak to Cutch for some pointers on expanding his variety of attacks, which he presently lacks.
You can only have a true variety of attacks if you've trained in Europe. Signed, TR Foley
Sheesh, Nevills nearly turned in a cradle there but fights it off. Hangs on for a 5-4 win

The Vollrath family honors Caleb Livingston as the Ridge Riley Award winner
Ridge Riley award being presented by Jimmy Vollrath's parents, Bill & Emily Vollrath.
They award it to Caleb Livingston.

Just a complete joke that the Official only called one Stalling on Jennings that entire match. Jennings made zero offensive attacks and did absolutely nothing on bottom as Nick generated almost 3 minutes of RT (Nick got caught on a counter at the very end - a cradle while they had each others legs). But an absolute joke that the Official saw fit to only call one Stalling midway through the 1st Period and then swallowed his whistle.
Nevills dicking around at the end instead of working a decent pinning combination. Not sure what he's doing with that "arm pull" but there's no leverage at all. Why doesn't he at least throw a wing and a bar in and run the hell out of it? Throw in a bar and half, it's confusing what he's trying to accomplish on top.....and he had beau coups pins in high school? I do like him a lot by the way...just want to see him be more dominant.
Byers asked him about that move, and Livingston said: Zain taught me that about 2 weeks ago. He pinned me with it 5 times in one practice, so I asked him to show it to me.
Bo Jordan won't listen to that interview -- way too much fun.
Nevills got real sloppy at the end of his match. There really was no point in cutting the guy with 15 seconds left in the match, as he only led 4-1 (plus the RT point) and there wasn't anywhere near enough time to get a major. Then he allows himself to get cradled and had to fight hard to avoid losing the match.
Byers blew the call too. He had just said something like, "And Jennings is done, you can just see it" and then a couple seconds later Jennings hooks up the cradle, gets a TD and comes way too close to getting back points.
I think I could hear the coaches yelling for Nick to let him up and try to get one more TD. Nothing wrong with doing that in a meaningless dual. Just another opportunity to learn.
No chance the coaches do that come Big Ten and NCAA time.

In fairness to Byers, Jennings looked like he had quit. I suspect he would've stayed quit if Nick hadn't given him that opportunity.
Yep. that's either a 3-0 or 5-1 win in March. Same thing happened against Vollaro (another fatty)
My three takeaways and recap of the Nittany Lions commanding dual-meet win over the Wildcats at the link
1) Winner of his last three, Gulibon's scoring potential at its highest
2) McCutcheon continues to prove his value at 197
3) Livingston's first career win at Rec Hall is one to remember

OK, that explains why Nevills cut Jennings. But the execution was still sloppy and Nevills almost gave the match away.
Jennings is huge and didn't try to do much from bottom. No easy task to turn a guy like that.
Agree.
Throw a bar and half when he's lying flat and drive the ear on a 45 angle toward the bleachers...he'll do something.
That might be the understatement of the century! That the Official whistled Jennings for Stalling in the 1st Period and then swallowed his whistle for the remainder of the match despite Jennings doing absolutely nothing from bottom was BS imho. Very BS and was frustrating to Nick (i.e., that Jennings was not made to wrestle and was permitted to just hang out doing absolutely nothing despite being dominated the entire match) - that frustration almost cost Nick.....big time!
Lace up your shoes and get on the mat and try it. Show us how it's done.
Tough crowd today. Some of you guys act like our kids aren't trying. Lol.
I think this was a classic sandwich meet. In between the huge individual match ups at 65 & HW of Wisconsin and the big meet of tOSU. Northwestern was throwing pretty much no one out there. A little drop off is performance was absolutely to be expected.
I really didn't see much drop off. Okay, Nickal showed he is human, needing the full 7 minutes and winning "only" by nine points. Nevills was in complete control but got greedy/careless in the last 10 seconds. You may be over-thinking it.
To me, Bo looked like he did his Ed Ruth impersonation.
Bo had one thing on his mind the entire match - locking up that cradle.
Hard to get 6-8 TDs when you're looking for a cradle for all 7 mins.
Win 45-3, and people are saying "Bo was off" and "Nevills was sloppy"
No one mentioning Suriano's pin - his 2nd. Caleb with a match he'll always remember. McCutcheon stays steady.
I'd hate to read this forum if we only win 16-15 one day. Lol

No, not a senior thing...but not serious either, precautionary only.
Yea, I would assume with the limited number of matches wrestled to-date, and limited remaining, that it wasn't just a "senior thing".
