OSU vs Iowa State

[Kov88]

Even though they’re down 14-0, with exception of 133, Iowa state has seem like the more aggressive team

After the duel im on it

Zerban vs Robideau

1:10 in and R tries something.  Go OOB and Zerban has something going on with right knee.  Slowly gets to center.  

restart … R now has that right leg.  Z doing splits.  R pulling Z back in.  Try and try and try … but nothing as Z gets a foot off the mat and whistle blows.

2nd R down.  As standing Z puts in leg but R says thank you.  Grabs leg and turns in.  Gets esc. 1-0 R

Stall warning R as he goes OOB.  Fans don’t like it.  I can see why.  (Announcers said fleeing the mat warning?)

R is taking risks.  Z is not.  Deserves to get hit for stalling.  
 

3rd.  Z gets to feet and jumps and rotates his hips away.  Amusing.  It worked.  1-1

Stalling Z.  Finally.  R shot.  Reshot Z but doesn’t commit to leg he had.  Neutral.  R has Z leg shelved.  Whizzer in.  Each now has a foot.  R is behind Z …. And gets the TD as time runs out.  
 

4-1 R

Does OkSt have male cheer leaders ?

This version of OK state will crush Iowa. Iowa gonna have at least 5 losses.

Great win for Rúbidø

6 matches in and 13 points have been scored in the first period

 

Jax Forrest has scored all 13 of them.

This happens in boxing a lot. Slower early round. Does wrestling need more periods and longer matches? I know how people will answer but i do find it to be an interesting question.

16 Euton vs 2 Lockett

Euton kept his glasses on for the tough looking PR pic - chest out, arms wrapped under them.  Glasses kinda hurt the look.

1 min in.  I thought Lockett has a frequent trigger.  No?  
L swing single but feels air.  E lowers and goes in but L posts and backs away.  E working L head.  
0-0

2nd pd.  Blood time.  Metcalf appears to be in a good mood. 
E out quick.  1-0 E

L swing single and lifts up, sweeps leg gets TD.  Works a crab tilt!!!  4 pts!!!   7-1. I think Euton didn’t appreciate the danger of that tilt.  
Restart - optional start.  7-2 L

Locket the aggressor.  Sweet misdirection low single.  Very pretty.  
10-2

3rd pd, L down.  

Distracted - getting pulled away

OkieST 21 Ia State 0

174 Facundo OSU v Gaitan

Should I just type 0-0 at the end of 1 already or wait for the match to start?

Gaitan doesn't wrestle 0-0 first periods.

Is this satire? Because if so, it's pretty good. If not.. then.. yikes.

[BruceyB]

One of the most entertaining 0-0 first periods I've seen in a looooong time. So many good scoring opportunities. Facundo just always struggles to finish on attacks.

As I type that Facundo in super deep again and Gaitan manages to roll out of it.. 

[Dark Energy]

For all looking to watch this dual later … except for Jax match (and maybe another?), just skip to 3rd period for each match.

And you were saying?

Hardly a typical 0-0 first period. But I was wrong.

[mr.nonothingatall]

Okie state, looking very fast when hitting there shots. Either that or the isu kids are just a little behind today

Ya that’s I think the specific match as to why the rule change and you can see in the match the idea they were trying to stop.   The way it’s called now is just dumb.  

[mr.nonothingatall]

Isaac Dean with not one, but 2! 2 shot attempts in the first 2 periods. I love it, nice change of pace

Dee showed aggression for the first time in his college career which was promising. The takedown at the end of the second was an absolute filthy misdirect. But you're not wrong. The only noteworthy events before the third period in this dual..

125: Poulin gets hit for stalling on top 3 times in the second, and then gives up the escape to be down 3-0 going into the third (maybe the worst strategic period of wrestling I've ever seen?)

133: Jax

141: nah

149: nah

157: nah

165: Sweet misdirect with ~20 seconds left in the second.

174: nah

184: 0-0 after 1.

So far Jax is the only wrestler to score in the first period of this dual? I absolutely love folk and the fact that this is one of the better duals of the year is a problem in the sport. 

I'll start a new thread with my new thought.

Im sure i remember it, at the end  of the match he is face down huggin the ankle and the "bottom man" is basically free and trying to yank his foot free because techinally he is still being controlled? Ill still watch it but i remember that scenario playing out around that time period.

Ya the old school kick out from bottom when they hang on the ankle for dear life.   Used to be a mental count to five : break.  Second time mental count to 5 staling.   It almost forced every ot to go 15 secs or so in the rideouts before actual bottom wrestling could happen.  
 

I wonder if we had emojis and wkn came back is there any statistical correlation to more escapes in the ride out periods vs escapes and wins on “riding” time as a result

my hypothesis.  More escapes and matches decided by riding time now vs then  

An example of another rule change not fixing what it intended and people asking for more rule changes to fix it again.

To clarify 5 losses on the season

tOSU:2, MN:1 PSU:1 OSU:1

the dual won’t be great for Iowa either 

125: toss

133: OSU favored 

141: OSU heavy favorite 

149: OSU favorite 

157: OSU favorite 

165: OSU favorite

174: Iowa favored

184: Iowa if healthy otherwise toss up

197: OSU heavily favored 

HVWT: Iowa favored 

its really not looking good for Iowa for the dual. Or their season overall with the expectations.

Id agree with that hypothesis.
