Illinois at Rutgers

[1032004]

Luffman actually takes a shot but no dice.

To SV we go

Luffman in on single but they go OOB.

Luffman in on another single but Slav counters and now in on his own shot and Luffman trying to counter.   Slav finishes it for the win and the team victory.

 

Good dual

What a Match...Rutgers on Criteria

Thanks for the updates. You weren't joking about it being evenly matched.

I think that Kraisser's defensive fall was a good no call. Sure, Jason was reaching back and had both hands locked around Conner Harer's neck, and Harer's back was flat on the mat for a couple of seconds with the ref right there to see it all, but, man, you can't call the defensive pin against the home guy in his home gym. 

Great call!

I thought it was a fantastic entertaining dual. 

One of life's great blessings is to see Lucas Byrd hit an ankle pick that sends his opponent's butt to the mat as if it was dropped from Space. For me, it's like the first flower blooming in Spring. The ILLINI needed a bunch of the takedowns that they were one or two ergs away from getting. Credit to Rutger's stingy defense, and their granby rolls. 

They grow excellent tumblers in Joisy. 

Webster and Scoles aren't completely back yet, but the team took a month off in December. Hope they dialed in the right time to peak like it is a Moon landing. Edmond Ruth will have to explain to my doctor why I have high blood pressure, and, finally, Zac and Poz was a war.
