Cenzo Joseph was hurt considerably this year by yielding back points. Cenzo has lost 8 matches in his career and gave up big back points in 4 of those. (Subjeck, Marinelli twice, and Lewis)

Bo lost 3 times giving up 4-pointers in 2 (Jackson and Martin). David Taylor lost 3 and was pinned once (Jenkins).

Among the other recent PSU greats, Ruth, Retherford, Nolf, and Hall, there were a total of 14 losses and I don't recall any of them giving up back points.

Am I forgetting any?
 
Who pinned Q in college? I think your memory is off on this one. Q only lost a handful of matches in college and none were by pin.
Don't know if he was pinned but he took quite a few losses, probably over 20 in his career

Just to add it was his sophomore year I was thinking when he was something like 11th seed and won it all. Took several losses during the dual season
 
Quentin Wright was pinned three times during his time at PSU.
Matt Wilps (Pitt)................NWCA All Star Classic 11/3/2012
Travis Rutt (Wisconsin)...............UW dual meet 2/18/2011
Shane Smith (Millersville)...............Wilkes Open 12/28/2008

Did Stieber ever score NF on Zain? I know he won both his matches 7-3. Forgot the sequence though.

Ruth definitely gave up back points to the kid from Stanford
 
Retherford was tilted at Big Tens by Stieber.
I think Amuchastegi from Stanford got some on Ruth.

I don’t think Jason ever gave up any back points. The closest, I think, was one swipe when the kid from Eastern Michigan headlocked him at Keystone Classic. He slipped out of it for a reversal, and went on to pin the kid.

Rutt was in Rec Hall, I believe. Defensive pin. Q was riding or had just got a TD, was draped too far over Rutt’s head and pinned himself, more or less.
