jajensen09 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 There is a path for nebraska. Slim but there is. Smith W Van dee W Hardy W Ridge W and bonus Robb W Mesenbrik W Carter W Pinto W Brooks W Kerk W bonus 18 Huskers 13 Penn state There's about 6 weight classes that could go either way.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how (relatively) well Nebraska stacks up against PSU. Obviously, it's a long shot but the above could happen. Unfortunately, I think it is more likely that PSU goes 9-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbone Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I am going 8-2. 26-6 PSU, with some very competitive matches and PSU wining most of the toss ups at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the first three weights are toss ups. Wrestlestat has all three going to PSU, but I do not see that happening. Wrestlestat also has Kasak beating Lovett which would be a major upset. I do not see that happening either. The only match wrestlestat has going Nebraska's way is the other clear toss up to me, Pinto v Truax. I think Nebraska gets 1 or 2 of the first three weights, Lovett, and Pinto making it 7-3 to PSU, maybe 6-4, but I think 7-3. 2 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le duke Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If Nagao can do more than initiate a scramble when he gets to the legs, he’ll beat Van Dee. I’m sure he’s been getting a lot of practice in that. I think those adjustments will start bearing fruit.125: Toss up, but I’ll be generous to Nebby: 0-3 Nebraska133: Nagao 3-3141: BB 6-3149: Lovett 6-6157: Haines 9-6165: Mesenbrink 13-6174: Starocci 17-6184: Pinto 17-9197: 21-9285: 25-9Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a major upset if Robb were to beat him. As for Mesenbrink, I think he is one of those guys to whom his opponent's style does not matter. I admittedly do not know much about Taylor, though. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admittedly do not know much about Taylor, though. Robb took levi to the ropes last year with a questionable call being the difference in one match. Taylor is very athletic, he's under sized (actually a 157 pounder) but very good on his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets the Haines from last Friday, it could be a struggle in keeping it to a decision. I hope Taylor is good on his feet and really gets after him, MM will tech him instead of just a MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbone Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 125, 141, 157, and 184 are the toss ups, imo. I don't think Robb over Haines would be a huge upset, but I am probably giving Robb a mulligan on his 4 match losing streak and think he is closer to the guy we saw last year and early this year. Haines is the pick and favorite tho. I know Van Dee just beat Ragusin but Nagao seems like a style problem as Nagao does the things Van Dee does but better. To me that would be a bigger upset than Robb over Haines. Taylor still seems undersized for 165. Great win last week but that was the first time Amine had been on the mat in a while.
