Pagano one of the very few Rutgers guys through time that I dont particularly care to see lose.
Shak looks much better. Just needed to get some confidence back, as DT noted.
197: #20 Rasheed vs. #18 Jordan Pagano
Both are 6th-year seniors. Pagano was previously with PSU, and Rasheed and he roomed together as freshmen.
Per 1
Rasheed in on a single, elevates it, and trips him down for the TD, 2-0. Paganowith a bit of a stout but flattened back out. OOB with 1:32 left. Nagano flattened off the restart. He works up with about 1 min left. Neither guy doing a lot, but Pagano is doing almost nothing. End. RT @ 2:38 for Rasheed
Per 2
Rasheed takes bottom. Rasheed to his feet, lifted and returned to the mat. Nagano throws in a boot. OOB with 1:45 left. Rasheed up on the restart, and backdown. Rasheed nearly his a switch while going down, but they go OOB. Rasheed up again, back down, up again, and OOB with 1:04 left. Stall warning on Pagano. Rasheed up and taken down. He rolls as he goes down and nearly gets a rev, but they go OOB with 54 sec. Rasheed with a quick reversal off the restart, 5-0. Must have been a point awarded for a stall.) Rasheed working the crossface. End. RT @ 2:20 for Rasheed
Per 3
Pagano takes neutral. Nagano shoots from way out, and Rasheed sprawls -- stalemate with 1:22 left. Nagano with an aggressive shot, but Rasheed blocks. Nagano reaches and Rasheed scrambles to get the TD on a counter, Pagano grabs an ankle and they are near the edge ... stoppage for stalemate with 29.7 left. Challenge brick thrown by PSU ... they think there was a TD. DT feels it's a 2. Byers thinks its a TD. And the ref decides no TD. Pagano shoots, Rasheed sprawls, they scramble. End. With RT, it's a 6-0 decision for Rasheed
32-6, PSU

Shak looking a little better against Pagano. No brace on the knee again. That's got to be good.
Rasheed reportedly weighing in at 193 today.
285: Nevills vs. Alex Esposito
Per 1
Esposito in on a low single, Nevills scrambles, nearly gets the TD but Esposito has the leg, and Nevills with the TD and gets 2 NF, 4-0. Nick throws in a leg and tries to tilt him, but the ref indicates it wasn't 45 degrees. Another tilt and swipes are being given. he tilts him again, and gets the pin @ 2:23!!!!
38-6, PSU

They just said Sheed weighed in at 193, Very interesting. That makes me even more confident that when Big 10's get here he will be very strong. Sheed will be maxing weight by then on full feed and should be very difficult on the major cut guys after day 2 weigh ins.
That along with further removed from injury....Those that have written him off for a high AA are going to regret that in my opinion!!!

Just missed another with Nevills but eventually got it after long scramble (2 exposure as well). Ref is brutal though....
I'm going onto YouTube to educate myself on takedowns.

Nick Lee has transformed into a monster. Aragona is tough, and Nick big-brothered him. Think we may have another national champ on our hands.
1. After Aguilar gets 3 takedowns of Meredith, the remaining guys from Rutgers get zero.
2. Penn State guys can pin.
Van Brill thinks it's a Saturday night in March.
Stalling is a mythical concept.
Penn State appears to have come out of it as healthy as it went in.
Penn State had more fun.
RBY has ice in his veins
Nick Lee is a sadist
Ref should have been thrown out of the match at 157
Cenzo likes to play with his food before he eats it
Brooks = hammer
Rasheed getting back into shape
Seth looked beastly on top
Did Brooks just pin a German tank, very impressive Mr Brooks .
Is that a Donner Party joke?
Rutgers is a perennial top 10 team.
Nice win today. Probably the best team effort this season.
Rutger.
With all due respect, Rutger Hauer did die this summer. One win is pretty impressive for a dead man.
A gem from Bill Garbarini, the ultimate Rutgers wrestling insider, reacting to Cael's takedown challenge at 197:
