fishbane Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 That OSU match was 1/11/2024 which is more than 20 years ago, but is 20ish years ago. The worst Iowa loss of the past 20 years is that Illinois loss mentioned earlier. The worst defeat of Brands's tenure was 13-29 against Minnesota in Carver Hawkeye on 2/18/2007. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanMogen Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Iowa better pin their first four because its going to get dirt nasty the deeper into this match they go. For Penn State: 157 #1 Levi 165 (should be) #1 Mitchel 174 #1 Star Rocky 187 #4ish Bernard True Axe is their "weakest" guy matching up against their weakest guy, unless they pull Gabraham Arnold. 197 #1 Aaron and the Holy Trinity Heavy boys - #1 Sleepy Greg. So in my eyes, which do not lie, it goes #1, #1, #1, easy match, #1, #1. At least Iowa matches up pretty well in the first 4 matches. That could blow up in their face early in this dual assuming they start at 125. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSULou64 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 All I care about is that, for the most part, they should be great match ups from bottom to top. There are a few that maybe won't live up to expectations but if everyone is healthy and everyone wrestles this should be a great event. I could see a situation that if Iowa gets some good wins in the lower weights they could put Arnold out there but that's just hopeful thinking on my part.

Hammerlock3 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) it's gonna be rough for Iowa. Guys that they count on normally like kennedy and glazier are going to get killed. If they came out of 157/165 with a wash you'd have to call that a huge win for Iowa. I doubt franek gets majored, but lord only knows what messenbrink is capable of at this point also unless a fall comes out of nowhere its hard to imagine Iowa winning the dual without taking 6 matches, so based on that Iowa has to win the first 6 matches or something? not looking good Edited February 1 by Hammerlock3 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."

Barracuda141 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Could get ugly for Iowa or it could be really close as PSU sends 3 freshmen out into a sold out hostile arena. Some awesome matchups for sure at 125, 141, 157, and 165. With it being at CHA though, I'm guessing we see a young PSU stud get "carvered". Let's all put it on TV and blow the Iowa vs. Iowa State numbers out of the water. 125- Davis vs. Ayala. -Great matchup out of the gate. I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis win here as I think he's likely to finish higher in Kansas City. My pick is the 15k+ fans in attendance play a role on the young freshman and we see Ayala pick up a late takedown for the win. 3-0 Hawks 133- Nagao vs Schriever -Don't really see a competitive match here. Nagao looking for bonus here. 4-3 PSU 141- Bartlett vs Woods -Woods the clear favorite from neutral, also underrated top game. Controlled decision here. 6-4 Hawks 149- Kasak vs. Rathjen -Coinflip match that Iowa needs if they want to stay in this dual. Edge Kasak. 7-6 PSU 157- Haines vs. Franek -Haines has looked vulnerable this year. Had to pull a few matches out of his hat after being down late. Think it might be weight cut related and we see Haines up at 165 next year. That being said, winners win. Haines dec. 10-6 PSU 165- Messenbrink vs. Caliendo -Messenbrink by dec. 13-6 PSU 174- Starocci vs. Kennedy -Kennedy looked great against Ruth. Starocci is putting together a hodge campaign and a whole other animal though. Kennedy will just be trying to limit the bonus. Starocci by major 17-6 184- Truax vs. Riggins -Riggins has lost 7 of his last 10 matches. Truax will be looking for (and finding) early termination for sure. Tech. 22-6 PSU 197- Brooks vs. Glazier -The other hodge candidate in this dual vs the breakout star of the Hawks. As great as Glazier has been, he won't be able to stop a top 5 guy in the world from bonus. Brooks by major 26-6 PSU 285- Kerk vs. Hill -With the dual out of reach, I don't think Tom sends out Kueter. It wouldn't matter if he did. Too big, too strong, too good on top, Kerk looks for early termination and finds it. Tech. 31-6 PSU *Looks like a blowout but realistically 125, 141, 149, 157, and 165 could go either way and it wouldn't be crazy to see Iowa winning 5 weights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
