Sometimes I like to mess around with some basic stats since we have so few available to us in wrestling.
The stats you'll find in the chart are simple. We only need to record the following:
Number of Takedowns Per 7 minutes in Neutral
(420 / # of match seconds in neutral)* # of takedowns
Basically, this is the amount of takedowns one might record in a typical 7 minute match if mat wrestling were eliminated and we let everyone up once the takedown was secured. I like this stat better than that of traditional takedowns per 7 minutes because it doesn't punish those who wrestle more frequently on the mat.
Number of Neutral Seconds per Takedown
(# of match seconds in neutral / # number of takedowns)
Straight forward. Demonstrates how long one typically wrestles in neutral before securing a takedown.
Quick Notes:

PSU Scuffle Performance (Takedowns)
Quick Notes:
- Small sample size/relatively poor quality of competition for Schnupp and Cortez, thus their numbers aren't as reliable as others. Obviously, Schnupp cannot sustain that type of takedown ability, but kudos for going out and nabbing 4 of his own in losing efforts.
- Zain outpacing Nolf was a surprise, but there were only two instances where he had to work for takedown. Once against Morris in the 1st period, and again in the 1st period against Heil. Nolf, on the other hand, looked looked like he was practicing his counters against Fox and that ultimately hurt him. Also, having a 1st round match would have likely given him a boost.
- Rasheed's numbers demonstrate just how great of a tournament he had.
- Mark was probably below his average. Tough semi and final matches
- Nevills— Ouch.
- I didn't have anyone double check the numbers. I could have made a couple of errors along the way. Just take it for what it is worth.
