They are burning Decatur's shirt for a Colombia dual?

Our interpretation of the 'five attached' applying only to true frosh must be incorrect.  Iowa did it with Schriever last night too.

It must apply to all redshirts.

Also pretty stoked to see Bolen representing Ivy and ACC this season.

[MPhillips]

Malik 17-4 Looked great.
Mendez 12-2 Solid.
Decatur 3-1 Looked good.
Reeves Lost 7-4 Got an escape and a td.
Paddy 11-4 Looked good.
Kharchla 6-3 Took a knock early. Controlled a 6-3 win.
Smith lost 8-6 and looked dreadful. @nhs67I hope you don't see this match.
Romero 22-6 Looked great.
Hoffman 27-8 Looked really good.
Orndorff Got a fall. Looked like an assassin. If so, he's got a new nickname.

Buckeyes win 33-6.

The worst part in the Smith loss is that it makes me wonder if he will be out against Lautt.

Gents drop head scratchers l the time.  Labs lost to Nachohouse last year.

Two weeks in a row though... Sammy & Smith. I'm all for getting them out of the way now.

Iowa's Schriever and Ohio State's Decatur both had their shirts pulled for meaningless November duals then?

Decatur again today. Maybe D'Emilio gets a medical RS?

He could then redshirt next season still?

[nhs67]

Any reason for PG not taking the mat?

I figured he has a little injury or got a knock and the dual was out of reach...
