Duke takes personal offense that anyone dares take the stripe across from him.
Duke tried hard to end that early for us
The ref gave Swiderski a caution getting back slowly to shake hands....
that SVN/swiderski ending was on crack
Duke will pull everyone back from the ledge. He is a guided missile now.

No. 11 CJ Composto of Penn is Davis' consolationn round three opponent.
I want to thank Duke for saving so many lives this round.
I think PJ has completely psyched out his opponents. I swear he twitches his head and has foam coming out of his mouth.
Duke is really strong. That TD came from his death-grip on the foot of Cannon, which he would not let Cannon kick out of and then he pulled him in for the TD
PJ took Cannon's seatbelt whizzer and said, "no, that's not yours, that's my TD". Got damn.
Cannon's getting Nolfed by PJ.
Best thing that happened to PJ was losing to Taylor. He’s goes full on every match since.
Btw I'm 62, if I wasn't hitting the Step machine I'd probably be dead already
Back on the bonus point train, as Duke with the 21-5 TF, @ 5:23!!!!
PJ is an animal, just manhandled cannon
PJ is ******* scary. The loss to Taylor is the best thing that could’ve happened to him. He’s a completely different guy now and just absolutely destroying everyone
That is what you call being physically man handled. Hard to believe Cannon was #1 in the country earlier this year.
SVN didn’t wrestle his best but pulled it out. Duke is ridiculous.
Besides Cannon's soul?
Not really going out on a limb there, but a good call nonetheless.
Yes, gave my heart some recovery time
Antrell Taylor with a very late TD for the win over #7 seed Webster
