Claw ride goes under the near arm.
I had to look up whether Nagao could run into Byrd if they lose in the quarters tomorrow and it doesn't look very likely. It might have been a fun match.
This isn't news, he has been known for his "cross throat" since high school. Here's his first move at state after taking his opponent down. Nagao needs to cut out the dirty wrestling, he's better than that.
It looked like Lucas Byrd had a problem with it at Big Tens, despite being a big after match talker. The thing about going across the neck is you can apply it briefly, repeatedly and it can take a toll... but opponents can't really argue a strong case unless they actually pass out.
Iowa, Mizzou, and Ohio State look like they have some pretty good wiggle room to win the team title, based on max possible points but PSU always pulls off some tournament magic. Keeping my expectations low.
Is he a BJJ guy or what? He likes to go across the throat with his forearm with double boots if possible. Not a claw ride. Phillippi looked like he was getting choked out in their match today. Byrd seemed to have a big problem with Nagao going across the windpipe at Big Tens and I believe he tried the same thing on RBY too. If I'm in coaching in the opposite corner, you bet I would be yelling at the ref to watch Nagao's chokeholds.
