For what it's worth, Eddie is registered for the Keystone Classic that Sunday. Can't imagine he registers if he's that seriously hurt.

The rumor/speculation is injury but based off watching his matches, it could be an illness. I didn’t notice any mobility issues or other physical concerns. An illness and first few times making weight is a tough ask but part of the sport. We will see how he look’s tomorrow night.

Is VT gonna be on ESPN plus/ ACC extra again?

I agree, why would a returning AA even be Wrestling in NOVEMBER if he had a serious injury?

BTN + at Rutgers 

[lightweight]

Starting right now...

[lightweight]

BIG10+ is off to a slow start - the 125 match features "WrestlerName" vs his opponent.  

I guess everybody needs a little time to get up to speed.

 

[lightweight]

Peterson rides out Ventresca in the third period for a 2-0 decision.  Rutgers 3-0.

Latona looks sucked down even at 133.  I expect to see him at 141 next year with Cooper Flynn at 133

He's having a rough start.

[lightweight]

No score in the first period at 133

I think he has an injury.  I'd buy low on him now if I could - thinking he will shake off the injury by nationals.

I've always like Shawver - he's scrapppy and plays a good underdog

First time I've seen him, but he is not wrestling like an underdog.

[lightweight]

1-1 now sudden victory

[flyingcement]

great match

[lightweight]

Latona gets the takedown (3 points!) in SV for the victory  on a re-shot.  Good scramble.

[lightweight]

141 debut for PA WPIAL guy Mac Church.

[lightweight]

Rutgers mats Mitch Moore, a grad transfer who is sporting a #15 ranking and a 40 year old's hairline...

[lightweight]

Stall on Church on bottom then on top with Moore riding a figure 4.  Didn't make much sense.

[lightweight]

Now a stalemate, which should have been the first call.

[lightweight]

Moore concedes the escape after locking up RT.  

Not a good match compared to the action in the first two matches.

[lightweight]

149 #4 Henson vs Butler for Rutgers.  No score in the first period.

[flyingcement]

Butler was impressive in a scoreless first with AA sophomore Caleb Henson

[lightweight]

Henson out with the escape.
