Ohio State can beat Penn State

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

Super impressive domination of a game Minny. I think they have a real shot at snapping the PSU dual streak, especially given that Mendez should TF Davis and Welsh is looking vulnerable (gave up 2 3rd period takedowns to Indiana last night).

Everything would have to go the buckeyes way and that never happens against Penn state. It is possible but highly unlikely.  Ohio State is the only team that has a hail Mary shot.

Davino will have to beat blaze for it to happen IMO, and I'm not saying that it isn't possible, but idk I have a hard time seeing it happen. I mean how many times in the past years has it looked like Iowa would at least challenge them even a little and they come in and wipe the floor. I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing.

I think Davino might be Blaze’s only high school loss. Or at least he was his last one.

I think Davino-Blaze is a legit coin flip and the likely national final.

Since then, Blaze has beaten him soundly every time.

Leo deluca did as well at ironman but neither took him down fleeing the mat against deluca and sv with Ben but I don't really take much if anything from that match at this point both guys are significantly better. Ben has not been able to get to Marcus's legs since their first match at u20 trials 2 years ago. To the OP I think ohio state has a shot to win 125-141 157 (I favor PJ by quite a bit personally), 184 (I favor Rocco quite a bit), heavy. I think it is probably more likely that Ohio state only wins 1 match than them winning the dual personally but I hope they do it!

Is that true?  In folkstyle?

It is more likely that Jimmy will pay his debts than tOSU beats PSU.  

[WrestlingRash]

It will be 8 wins for PSU and 2 for tOSU. Can you make 100 more threads about this dual before it actually happens? Really helpful. 

[PSULou64]

I really like the way tOSU is wrestling as a team and think they will definitely give PSU a really tough dual. I could see them winning it because there are quite a few matches that could go either way and any type of bonus point win really changes the potential team outcome. I also think come tournament time they have plenty of bonus point guys that will help them add to their team total. I'm really looking forward to the meet.

I'll take tOSU over 2 wins all day.

[Hammerlock3]

I am a PSU fan, but have a lot of respect for Ohio St.  They are really good. There should be several competitive matches. I think Ohio St wins 4, not sure which ones other than Mendez and Feldman. While PSU should be solid favorites at 165, 174, and 197.  The other 5 matches should be very interesting.

If he continues to have a new one every day we should have 20 more.  I think its a bit much to ask for 100 even of jimmybon.

That is how I see it as well. There are many individual matches where I would not be surprised if tOSU won but it is hard to see them stringing enough of them together to beat PSU. tOSU is favored at 141 and 285, 133 and 157 are toss ups, they are slight dogs at 125, 184, bigger dogs at 149, 174 and then big dogs at 165, 197.

100%…. Feel confident with a Mendez and Feldman win, other possible coin flips are 125, 133, 157 (if cannons knee is healthy) and 184…. I think PSU wins easily with bonus points but it will be the most narrow margin they’ll have for the year

Now I COULD have an amazing weekend on a tropical island with the majority of next years SI Swim Suit issue, but it’s unlikely.

If I flap my arms fast enough, I COULD generate enough lift to maybe get my large rear end off the ground, but the chances aren’t good.

The words we’re searching for are unlikely, improbable, and their synonyms.

Ohio State will give PSU their toughest dual. If EVERYTHING goes tOSU’s way and against PSU, it’s 6-4 in PSUs favor. But this could also be 8-2, 9-1 if things broke for PSU. And it’s much more probable it’s in the 7-3, 8-2 range, but with some exciting matches that leave the PSU haters hoping the whole way that somehow it works out. 
2/13 can’t get here fast enough so we can answer this and put an end to all these threads…

[Ashebuckeye]

Not sure the dual score will be all that close, and I could see it 8-2 PSU, but other than 141, 165, and 197, there should be some very competitive matches. Will be a very fun dual.

This is how I see it as well. The problem I see with Ohio State’s path is I think they’ll give up a TF at 165 and 197. So that makes the path to win the dual much narrower. Mendez has potential for bonus but probably only a MD. 
125: 3-0 OSU

133: 6-0 OSU

141: 10-0 OSU

149: 10-3 OSU

157 13-3 OSU

165 13-8 OSU

174 13-11 OSU

184 14-13 PSU

197 19-13 PSU

285 19-16 PSU

[Pinnacle]

I don't see a Mendez tf, but Davis rolls over so much he can get pinned.
