197: Dean vs Amos

Amos shot Dean tries a go behind but they’re back to their feet. Amos double but Dean defends. Crowd wants a stall call on Dean. Dean TD. Not sure what happened there - Dean got behind from feet. Missed headlock by Amos. But it’s 2-0 Dean. Amos to his feet… Dean has leg in air… stalling on Dean for holding leg. Late escape by Amos makes it 2-1 Dean after one. 1:35 riding adv.

Dean takes bottom. Amos lifts Dean. Dean is out. Amos looks like he hurt himself. But wants to go. They gave reversal instead of escape? So it’s 4-1 Dean. Amos escapes. 4-2 Dean. Amos shoots from distance. Dean countershot. Nothing. 4-2 Dean after two. 1:24 riding adv for Dean.

Amos takes bottom. Dean has a boot in. Cross body ride. Riding is secured. 1 min to go. Amos maybe could have escaped but turns in, no break in control and it’s a stalemate. 2 point tilt by Dean. And now it’s a bow and arrow! 4 pt NF as time expires! 11-2 final with riding point!

25-12 PSU

Why wasn’t that an escape and TD for Max?

Called it a reversal

 

[PSUcup1]

Called it a reversal

I know. It should have been 1 and 2

He was 3 feet clear from Amos

 

[El-Jefe]

Dean's first period takedown.

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Yikes, made him go full Warner

 

[McScoreley]

Very good match by Max, first time ever Amos gave up bonus.

 

[PAgeologist]

Yikes, made him go full Warner

I know I cringed a bit.

 

[pish69]

Max is gonna be a beast in March. He’s had a quality opponent all year it seems. Only gonna keep getting better. This is why I don’t get guys sitting. You need those tough matches

 

[86PSUPaul]

I know. It should have been 1 and 2

He was 3 feet clear from Amos

I agree, but Angel? Does that explain?

 

[mcpat]

Team point deduction on Wisconsin. 25-11

 

[PAgeologist]

Hillger must be following my diet. He added 50 pounds of not so good weight.

 

[billrag]

Team point deduction on Wisconsin. 25-11

Why? Just curious.

 

[86PSUPaul]

Team point deduction on Wisconsin. 25-11

Huh, what happened? Was it for the warning when Bono came out and wanted injury time but Amos didn’t?

 

[NittanyChris]

Hilger should be DQ’d for that man bun.

285: Kerk vs Hillger

Kerk shoots like a middle weight and finishes quickly. 2-0 Kerk. Cuts him. 2-1. Shoots again, gets out of position, Hilger reshoots, was “close” to a TD but Kerk wins a scramble off a standing switch and it’s 4-1 Kerk. Cuts him. 4-2 after one.

Kerk chooses bottom. Quick escape and it’s 5-2 Kerk. RT is 0:43 for Kerk. 5-2 after two.

Hilger takes bottom. Stalling on Hilger. Maybe for fleeing mat from bottom. Kerk just riding. Riding point secured. Stalemated; nothing happening. Kerk rides him out. 6-2 Kerk is the final.

28-11 final score

 

[BruceK-PSU83]

Huh, what happened? Was it for the warning when Bono came out and wanted injury time but Amos didn’t?

I believe so, yes.

 

[PAgeologist]

Why? Just curious.

Coach walked onto the mat while wrestlers were setting up. Called for lack of mat control.

I don't really agree. Thought there should have been injury time since match was stopped.

 

[86PSUPaul]

Hilger should be DQ’d for that man bun.

Man bun and corn rows!

 

[slushhead]

Mean Dean — that was brutal.

Anyone remember the GPK by that name?

 

[raslen007]

Hilger should be DQ’d for that man bun.

It's a douch knot.

Hilger should be DQ’d for that man bun.

I bet he drinks White Claw.....

 

[El-Jefe]

The yuppie gangster.

 

[mcpat]

They said control of mat, I think. So maybe

 

[CSauertiegPSU]

Well that was a very thorough 6-2.

 

[Str8DBLz]

Hilger should be DQ’d for that man bun.

Keeps his hair out of his whiteclaw

 

[johnstownsteel]

Got a laugh watching them shake hands after the match. Hamiti looked like he was in awe of RBY. Lol

 

[Psugo823]

Well that was a very thorough 6-2.

Hilger is actually much improved

They are probably still stuck to my head board from 35 years ago

 

[Psugo823]

If the shirt was lifted today, Haines probably is 8th or 9th...

 

[Pitchfork Rebel]

RBY would beat Spencer at a catch weight. He is the best wrestler in the country right now.

If he's not Carter is...

 

[PAgeologist]

If he's not Carter is...

I wonder how much these guys push each other for max points in a match. Especially CStar and Brooks since they're adjacent weights. Brooks seemed disappointed he didn't get the pin.

 

[Sportfan2017]

Why? Just curious.

Bono ran onto the mat when Amos tweaked his knee. The choice was to allow PSU choice after injury time or ignore injury time.....go sit down and lose a team point. Bono did what was best for his wrestler.............No problem with that at all.

 

[SJP80]

What does “catch weight“ mean? TIA

 

[mcpat]

Good dual. Levi looked particularly sharp, although maybe gassing a little at end.

I thought Steen might hang a little closer than he did and Kerk maybe didn’t look his best. Could it have been a tough week of practice?

Steen maybe could benefit from some more size. I think when that happens, he may surprise people. The skills are there, IMO.

Good finish to 3rd period for Dean - like what we often saw last year.

RBY, Beau, Brooks and Starocci were their usual sharp selves. Couldn’t believe Brooks’ opponent fought off his back there.

SVN had Gomez gassed, but was maybe a little tired himself. He looks close but not quite on Gomez’s level right now.

With Haines majoring a top 20 guy, I have to think it’s Haines’ spot now.

MLee fought well. Got in a bad position - one that begged to be cradled - but fought well I thought for wrestling someone clearly on a different level.

 

[PAHURDLER]

If the shirt was lifted today, Haines probably is 8th or 9th...

So leave the shirt on then?

 

[BigFella235]

DGK thoroughly controlled Hillger. It wasn’t as close as the 6-2 final suggested. Viewing the weight class as a whole, I think Pitzer is the dark horse. He’s not your grandpas heavyweight and moves very well considering his size. He’s already taken out Cohlton Schultz too.

Side note regarding Pitzer: I was chatting up a buddy of mine at a tournament recently and he was telling me about how he asked his dear friend/ex coach Rob Waller why Dayton chose Pitt considering his massive list of offers. In typical Coach Waller fashion, he put it succinctly: “He chose them because he’s a mommas boy!”

A weight in-between what the 2 guys want to be at 125 and 133. Say 129 lbs.
