Do you mean like how many escape points etc? 

[flyingcement]

Oklahoma will be lucky to score five takedowns in this entire dual.  It would be a major shock if Oklahoma won a single match.  Matches where they have the best chance of getting a takedown: 157, 184, 285

But what about escapes?

Many opportunities for escapes after being taken down lol.  I think escapes in which PSU wrestlers choose to release their opponent will make up most of Oklahoma's points tonight

[flyingcement]

No Hipolito and no Kellar...

[flyingcement]

Hopefully we get a couple of backups from the Nittany Lions to make for an interesting match or two

If escapes were worth 3 and takedowns worth 1 would you bet on OU to win?  

[boathead]

why no duke?

If the wrestlers were unaware of the new scoring methodology then yes. If they were aware, I'm sure Penn State could figure out how to make the Sooners take them down so they can jump back up to their feet.

He got a little... what???

No Soldano or Jordan too

Connor looked really good, not sure what the head smushing was about.

Jordan got hurt last weekend.

Mirasola destroyed Parker, HFS.

[Truzzcat]

Cole is so small not much to take away from that match.

It's funny how the worse Mirasola is starting because of being larger.  Connor is the better wrestler but will be riding pine this year

[Truzzcat]

Yeah Marcus is the truth as we knew.

Technically OU could score 60. Odds are about a zillion to one against that though. 

OU might squeeze out a couple wins, but I can't see any more than that. Maybe 6 points.

Why? Are they both injured? 

[boathead]

boy, nagao isn't much.  

[nhs67]

Honestly, for a guy who supposedly was nearly at 184lbs for his decent, Mirasola looked much larger than Parker, who was 184lbs last season with every intent to be 197lbs this season.

Some truly outstanding commentary there ‘you know how I know the guy who beat Haines wrestled hard because Haines wrestles hard’
