Pinfall Trivia

[Wrestleknownothing]

There have been 9 NCAA champs who won the Gorriaran Award with at least 4 pinfalls, but only 7 of them also won the Outstanding Wrestler Award. 

Who are the other two?

Someone, @BobDole, please move this to NWT.

That is one (Rohn), with one to go. Kinda tough to win one against a guy who just finished the sweep.

THERE IS ONLY ONE SWEEP

Time for a hint. Rohn had four pinfalls the year he lost out to Sanderson (two) for OW. Our remaining gentleman, who was by no means gentle, had five pinfalls. Five up and five down on their backs, and somehow was not the OW.

Sadly for Dan Gable, there is one missing criteria in 1970. He was not a champ that year. And he did not satisfy the clue.
