im watching the replay of the Illinois match and the student announcer mentioned that Bo started using a secret move a few weeks ago that he and Zane found on youtube. Has this been discussed? Is this a move used to takedown, scramble, or get their opponents on their backs?

Discussed repeatedly after Bo pinned Gravina (Rutgers) with it. I'm sure there's video of that match on YouTube.

I really think Bo and Zain were just having some fun during the interview with some tongue in cheek humor. Much like Bo and Jason were during the warm-ups at Ohio State.

When these guys talk about having fun it is evident that this is something that is very real within the culture that Cael and his team have created. These young men truly love the sport of wrestling and have built a tremendous camaraderie with their brothers on the team.

Their zest for life and wrestling literally overflows into the interviews and interactions you see from them, and in my opinion, that is one of the elements of the culture that makes the Penn State program so attractive to so many top tier recruits.

It was supposed to be the move he pinned Gravina with but I doubt it was planned nor was it a secret move. Zain and Bo were probably just having some fun and running with the "secret move" narrative as a joke.

No, I've never heard of Forest Hills Rangers, but just googled it and see it's a High School sports name. My username is in reference to something I did in the military for a little while, a long time ago... I had some hometown buddies who used to call me Ranger Dan, just like Forest Gump would say Lieutenant Dan, and I used it when I had to redo my username at some point (change from Plotit to Rivals?). I kind of regret choosing it, as so many others have had much more significant military service than I did. I did help win the Cold War, whatever that is worth. :)

Never apologize for what you did. Thank you for your service.
