PSU v MD

[Pinnacle]

Funny student announcers. They have no idea what is happening at times, but they  try hard. 

125 Luke by TF

133 Blaze by 15-3 Major

Carter Young got the first takedown on Van Ness, locked up a cradle, got four back points, and led 7-0. Immediately afterward, Van Ness decided to break Carter Young.  it's now 32-15 and match over

[flyingcement]

32 points! lol

What do you think about SVN letting him go and then doing the head smack every time? The bottom guy is kind of in a lose lose situation there. 

[Pinnacle]

Davis can't do math. Ride out last 15 seconds and he gets the TF, and he cuts him. 

You guys gave a great description of the massacre at 149

it was tough for Young, but he didn't seem to be doing himself any favors in that position.  Maybe Van Ness was just that much stronger

Duke makes things look a lot easier than they actually are. Win by FALL.

Haines too gives up a Td on the way to a TF victory. Training week.

Penn State finishes with FALL, TF, FALL to close it out 51-0.

Sounds like there's some slackards on that team ... walk home if you didn't get a pin?

Maybe it’s anti-Penn State bias but I don’t really agree with the repeated stall calls on Young in that position.   SVN is technically still on top yet wasn’t doing anything to break him down from that position 

[Le duke]

He scored 31 points in 3:41 (beginning of second to 0:19 in the third) while scoring no back points.

I think that is fair

I enjoy watching 10 bonus point matches.

Agreed. Its a weird look to watch in a match that's for sure. SVN looked like he was punishing Young for having the audacity to score on him. As a guy that was in a HS room surrounded by state champs and guys that were better than I was, I can relate. If I scored on them, they took it very personal lol.

Yeah, definitely the problem with scoring early on a really good wrestler.  Now if you happen to also put them on their back......

Yup.  Not sure if it’s in the college rulebook but I know in HS there was a line saying something like “the bottom man is not stalling when overpowered.”  I guess you could argue Young shouldn’t have been overpowered by hands on his head, but it kinda looked that way.

Yes I was surprised that Van Ness was able to control him in that manner.

I don't get it.  It worked out in the end.  If you already have RT, why almost cut him?  Cut him.  Step back, give hime the point and go for the next takedown.  The hand on the head simply delayed time for the next takedown.

Shades of Barr/Poznanski last year.

The ride out would have given him a 14 point win.  Davis spent too much time trying to turn him.  If he had cut him earlier he would have had more than enough time for another TD for the TF.

Haines got taken down.   Rocco got taken down twice in the 3rd on Friday by Goin of Indiana.  I thought Messenbrink was going to be taken down early last night.  I don't think they worry about it too much.
