Penn State - Iowa dual thread

- Start date
Disappointing but not a surprise.
Tens and Nattys to go
Low class is an upgrade to what the degenerates are on that board. They’re sick scumbags.
Is he trying to be Billy Idol?
That are now insinuating that PSU wrestlers are on PEDs for “ADHD”. I loathe their fans.
Let them throw their excuses around. They hate us because they ain't us.
285: #2 Greg Kerkvliet vs. #11 Ben Kueter (BK)
247.2 vs. 235.6
Per 1
Lots of ear-to-ear to start. Kerk with a double and gets behind for the TD, 3-0. BK gets flattened pretty quickly. Eventually he works up a bit, tries to sit out, nothing, and is eventually flattened out again. BK to his knees, and they go OOB with 1:08 left. BK to his feet, and Kerk cuts him, 3-1. Kerk tries a throw-by, nothing. Kerk shoots a single to a double and explodes through for the TD, 6-1. End. RT @ 1:17 for Kerk
Per 2
BK takes bottom. After a bit, Kerk flattens him. Kerk controlling both wrists, and switches to a bow-and-arrow, but loses the ankle. BK not doing a thing on the bottom. Stall warning on BK. BK getting worked over, but not turned. End. RT @ 3:17 for Kerk
Per 3
Kerk takes bottom. Kerk sits out, then to his feet, and he's out, 7-1. RT is locked for Kerk. BK shoots, Kerk counters, and seems to get a TD before they go OOB, but nothing awarded and OOB is blown with 0:59 left. PSU throws a brick, so we're going to video review. After review, no TD, but a stall call on BK, makes it 8-1. Kerk with a nice TD to make it 11-1. And again, BK not doing much on bottom. Kerk trying to tilt him. BK works up and is given an esc with 0:01 left, 11-2. With 3+ in RT, it's a 12-2 MAJ
Final: 30-8, PSU

66th straight dual victory for PSU
To be fair, Kerk was a bit too rough with that one throw-by where he threw Kueter right out of bounds.
Decent match, about what I was expecting score-wise. Barr got some good experience and knows what he needs to work on.
Tyler Kasak is the Ridge Riley Award Winner
65 straight home dual wins for PSU

Boy what a fun match! i had Ironhead synced up for about the first 1/3 of the dual but had too much buffering to listen much past halftime. I will watch the match again with Sparks and Gibbons though, they are not bad as a pair. Barr will get some tutelage from this match, not sure if he’ll take Buchanan next time, but he may see him twice yet.
I was a little surprised with Levi; I thought he’d separate himself a bit but it’s January. No disrespect to Kennedy, and no excuses but I wonder if Levi was 100%. There was a good bit of ‘hand fighting’ which ti me, is another form of stalling, but the Hawks came to scrap. Messenbrink is a real animal! Wow! And SVN, beautiful. Not gonna lie, Kasak surprised me. That Blast double by Kerk was perfect! The team looks really good. Loads of fun to watch!

30-8 vs number 2. We wrestled a guy up a weight. We beat 2 higher ranked guys.
Last year it was 29-6, so Iowa is closing the gap.
Thanks for all the update.

Buchanan was very effective at putting his hand on Barr's forehead, and keeping a good distance away, which effectively neutralized his neutral attacks. Barr should learn from his riding in the 3rd period. If he rode Buchanan for 7 seconds, then RT would be a non factor. Instead, Buchanan hits a shoulder roll off the whistle, and is out in 4 sec. Josh had to score on his feet after that, and ended up taking a sloppy shot, which Buchanan countered for the only TD in the match. Buchanan wrestled smart, and exhibited his experience. That said, Barr was in the match in the 3rd period, so the potential to flip the results later this season is there.
Haines doesn't mind engaging in head battles, but he usually is effective at clearing his opponent's head control just before he shoots. Kennedy was very good at head (and at times wrist) control, so most of the time Haines shot, Kennedy could stop him before he got in. Kennedy wrestled smart. Levi should learn something from the match for any future matchups between the two.
Agreed, and it annoys the he‘ll out of me.
This one was the most shocking. To make the #2 guy look like that was just brutal.
Just wondering if Levi thought he had RT locked up at the end of his bout. Seemed like he gave up that late escape to Kennedy to lose the major a little easy.
Great match overall.
OKay, I'll admit to going over to Iowa Rivals site to get their take on things. The Cliff notes version is:
Davis ducked the match at 133
Kasak is juiced up somehow, In fact, maybe that's one of the "secrets" of the overall success of the program.
Ferrari will beat CS next time they meet. Ferrari will be a four time national champ.
Barr will never be a four time national champion! That seemed to be a victory lap for them.
David Taylor will siphon off a lot of talent to help bring Penn State down.

I'll respond.
I get that reaction, don't agree with it but get it. But Gabe Arnold....
hahahaha, no. But Teemer is just getting back so next one will be another good one
Ferrari won't see Starocci again cause he's not the starter. Arnold will suffer a bigger loss. Ryder and Ferrari will be good in the future.
Correct. He won't. That's really really hard. But I'd be worried about how close a freshman was to a 6th year senior...
Some, sure. Penn State has so much going for it though that we'll still get a lot of top talent.
Is this what drunk, envious Iowan's do during late January when the corn is in the silo and the sheep (hopefully) are in the barn?
