Iowa Nebraska tonight on BTN
- Thread starter ElDuce
- Start date
they certainly have a shot. I believe WrestleStat has Nebraska winning 18-16. Willie did an impromptu look at the matches with Justin Basch yesterday, and he had Nebraska winning by 1 or 2 points.
Lots of speculation as to whether Iowa bumps some guys up, like they did successfully against Iowa St. Willie felt it would give them their best shot to defeat Nebraska.
Looks to be a close match.
we are all cornhuskers tonight
Robb back from that medical condition??
also what no AJ??????

@ 133 - Teske @ #7 vs Van Dee (#30). Our Jr HS pays ed teacher Eddy Bro used to say, 'can't score if you don't shoot'. Van Dee gets the late period TD and escape by Teske, VD up 3 after 1
2nd, VD takes down, Teske riding tough. VD escape after 53 secs RT now 4-1. VD with scramble then TD now 7-1, escape now 7-2 after 2.
Am not a big fan of the lengthy scrambles with legs and ankles twisted and joints over-extended; IMO nobody 'wins' these things. Woods with TD late 1st, it's 3-0.
2nd - Woods escape now up 4-0. collar ties, yawn... that's it after 2.
into 3rd, neutral. more collar ties. edge of the mat TD by Woods, now up 7-0. TOM brands shaking the staircase. Grow up coach. Hardy winded Woods not exerting any extra effort. Stalling called on Woods, and again Woods called and Hardy gets 1. ends 8-2 Woods, now Iowa 6-3. forgive any lapse - I'm trying to watch as well.

149 - #12 Rathjen vs #1 Lovett. Both Shane & Johnson man crush with Lovett. If Lovett isn't going to shoot, Rathjen is okay with wrestling 'Iowa style' hand fighting and collar ties. Lovett missed great opportunity for TD as Rathjen hits wizzer at edge of mat. AJ already having an effect on 'the room'. 0-0 after 1.
Lovett down, up early and out up 1-0. Sheesh guys, get a room... Collar ties. 2nd Stall on Rathjen, Lovett up 2-0. own the center, yes sir, this is freestyle wrestling at it's finest.
3rd period, it's still 2-0 neutral start. noice counter by Lovett, TD up 5-0 with a minute left. Lovett w/ excellent parallel ride. throws in leg, restart. Lovett wins it with RT 6-0, now he's 15-0 on the season.
Dual's tied at 6 apiece.

Not related to this match but looking ahead to Sunday, Turley just tech fall'd Washington 15-0 in 4:56.
Franek has taken 4 shots to 1 per Tim Johnson. Challenge brick for TD from Nebraska. I think Robb gets the TD. Nope - I was wrong. no control. Tervel also in the corner. still 0-0 after 1. Franek takes down in 2nd
Dumb challenge by Nebraska. They wasted their challenge on a situation (the Robb - Franek match @ 157) where there was nothing in real time to make one think they could get the call (no TD) overturned.
Franek is out in under 15 seconds up 1-0. Robb looks like he's laboring but get a TD with 40 seconds left in 2nd, now escape by Franek, it's 3-2 Robb after 2. these guys love edge wrestling.
Franek with a double for a TD with just over 30 sec left to take a 5-4 lead over P. Robb.
Restart from OOB with 16 sec left, but Franek rides out to get the win.
Robb either ran out of gas, or had poor D in the last minute of the match.

Robb early 3rd period escape now up 4-2. 1:15 to go, lots of collar ties, hand fighting. shot by Franek, Robb flees gets stall call. Franek gets TD with 35 seconds left. Robb is tired w 16 seconds left. Franek up 5-4, and wins it. Bathroom break fro all- well deserved. Franek still 15-0 and Robb has back to back losses now 14-2 on the season.
*Medical staff called in (for Tim Johnson as his heart is ready to burst) over Franek victory. Iowa up 9-6 at halfway point.

this was a slick TD on a counter by Lovett. (Counter may be generous. Seemed more like Rathjen eased up when he thought he was about to get a TD, and that was a mistake.)

@ 165 #7 Calendo vs #19 Taylor - more collar ties... Taylor not interested in engaging. Nice dump TD by Calendo up 3-0 with 1 min to go in 1st. Escape by Taylor now 3-1 with :30 to go and that's it after 1.
Calendo up and out in like 3 seconds now 4-1. Double leg TD Caliendo now 7-1. This one's over early. Escape now 7-2 Calendo with 1:11 RT. start of third.

escape Taylor now 7-3 Caliendo. Taylor 'wrestling not to lose by more'. Tentative half shot by Taylor. Calends almost stole a TD because Taylor was half wrestling and that's it - Caliendo wins 8-3 now Iowa 12-6.
@ 174 unranked Patrick Kennedy vs #30 Bubba Wilson - ? wasn't PK supposed to contend for champ/ podium according to HR..? Unless we get an upset or two this one's over (I'm not a paid announcer so I can say stuff like this). TD Wilson and escape, Nebby up 3-1. Now PK with a TD late 2nd and up 4-3 after 1. Manning's face is as red as his sweater vest.
LMAO. Some things are pretty much a constant with him during a dual.
Wilson down and escapes so it's now 4-4 with 1:00 left. Stall call on Wilson backing off... after 2 it's 4-4.
PK w :48 RT. Kennedy takes down. escape now 5-4 Kennedy. PK gets TD now 8-4. Wilson has not much left, but both guys winded. with a little wind/effort Wilson could have gotten a TD, but no. That's it, PK wins it 9-5 - and Iowa winning 15-6 after 165.

184 unranked Aiden Riggens vs #3 Lenny Pinto. after the `157 match I figured this one's over. Much as I 'love to root against the Hawkeyes', I can't take my eyes off of the possibility that they still might...lose... another...one...
Shane says that Keuter Did weigh in...
seems like the Nebraska coaches like to wait until the meet to 'do their coaching'.
Iowa's in these guys' heads.
(I used to leave after the 197lbers wrestled, with this activity at 184, I'd have to reconsider that delay.) escape by Pinto and then TD, now up 4-0, escape by Riggens, now 4-1. TD, escape TD and escape now Pinto up 10-3, another TD up 13-4 late 3rd. Late TD Pinto wins it 17-5 -now it's Iowa 15-10..?

I have to take back what I said over inactivity at 184; they manned up.
197 - #16 Glazier vs #11 Allred. Glazier with early TD up 3-0, escape by Allred now 3-1 after 1. Allred takes down. Shane loves the mat return by Glazier.
Bobby Telford in the corner, wonder which recruit he's going to call after tonight's meet?
Escape by Allred, now 3-2 Glazier. TD Glazier, now up 6-2 after two.
