[Hartzie]

Rumor on Facebook that RBY, Lee and Brooks are out today. Please tell me that’s not true.

 

[JBott]

Pat Mineo saying Lee and Brooks are ducking!
Ridiculous………..

[Tom McAndrew]

Berge weighed in today ... not sure if he's wresting today. Per Byers, there has not been a wrestle-off at 165

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Dual starting at 125

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Lineups per Byers:

125: Hildebrandt vs. Shawver
133: RBY vs. Olivieri
141: Meredith vs. Rivera
149: Bartlett vs. Van Brill
157: Negron vs. Canard
165: Berge or Edsell vs. Clark
174: CStar vs. O'Neill

[Tom McAndrew]

Kerk weighed in at 240.8 lbs.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Per Byers, Nick Lee was just medically cleared yesterday, and barring any medical setbacks should be good to go against Michigan. He hasn't been able to wrestle until cleared, so he wasn't in shape to go today.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Gibbons doing the color for ESPNU. I think I'll stick with Ironhead.

Just listening to Byers, I could tell it was a take down

A lot of fight in the center early in the match. Beau worked a two-on-one; VanBrill working the head. Beau in on a head inside single and gets the TD, 2-0. Beau throws in a boot, then takes it out. VanBrill to his feet, then Bartlett gets called for an illegal hold, 2-1. VanBrill to his feet, and out with 11 sec left, 2-2. Stalemate with 3.6 sec. due to headgear issue for VanBrill. End

Per 3
Beau takes bottom. He works up, a scramble, nearly gets a reversal, but just an esc, 3-3. RT is down to 51 sec for Beau so he'll have to win it on his feet. 1 min left. 30 sec left. VanBrill with a double from centerfield, to a single, Beau sprawls, tries to spin behind, nearly with a TD but nothing awarded. PSU throws the brick, so we're going to review. It was close, IMHO. Beau may have had the TD and then VanBrill threw in a whizzer, but the call is confirmed, so we're going to SV

SV
VanBrill reaches, nothing. Beau shoots from way out, VanBrill sprawls, stopped for stalemate with 1:06 left. VanBrill in on a single, they scramble, Beau has an ankle, he exposes VanBrill, VanBrill still has the knee, and a stalemate with 15.2 sec. Hmm. Not sure about that call by Angel. End

8-6, Rutgers

Note: I should add that I was worried about this match. Beau has got to get to his offense earlier.

 

[Capkbc]

That is BS. Beau was robbed

 

[DavidM]

Dunno, did Bartlett get screwed? It sure looked like it.

 

[SurgeOne]

angela rivera 3. BeauBartlett 0
Rivera really has an ax to grind vs Penn Sate

 

[Capkbc]

They should carry the regulation riding time over to the OT if they are going to decide a match by riding time

 

[SRATH]

So Van Brill took neutral? Knowing all he had to do was run for 30 seconds........wow, that stinks

 

[Capkbc]

Negron ran out of gas

 

[Tom McAndrew]

157: Tony Negron vs. Robert Kanniard (RK)

Per 1
Negron in on a low single, Kanniard grabs an ankle, they scramble, and Negron gets the TD, 2-0. Nice job by Tony. RK started to work up, but Negron returns him then flattens him. They are on the edge. Negron got 1 swipe after tilting him, then RK nearly gets a reversal but they are ruled OOB with 1:17 left. Caution on Negron. RK works up, then brought down. RK tries a switch, but Negron stops him. Good ride by Negron, and just as I key that in RK to his feet and out, 2-1.

Per 3
RK takes bottom. Negron hook the ankle. RK with a switch and he's out, 4-2. RT @ 7 sec for RK, so it's a non-issue. RK with a duck to a single, switches to a double, Negron grabs an ankle, they scramble, and 2 is awarded for RK after Negron lost the ankle, 4-4. RK with the legs. Not enough time for RT to go over 1 min. End.

SV
Negron with a shot, RK with a counter and he gets behind and gets the TD. 4-6 DEC for Kanniard. Sloppy shot by Negron.

11-6, Rutgers at the half

 

[Alphalion75]

Negron ran out of gas

What was the result?

 

[SurgeOne]

So Van Brill took neutral? Knowing all he had to do was run for 30 seconds........wow, that stinks

It’s a acumbag move, but legal. Something that Rutgres would do.

Carter Starocci - reigning nat champ

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Tom...who is CStar?

you new to this? Carter Starocci

 

[Wrestler2u]

I’ve never seen Penn State wrestlers get ridden like this. Negron had no chance after he was on the bottom the entire second period.

 

[Lion4ever]

you new to this? Carter Starocci

Why be snarky with customers? I don’t get it. Weird

8-6, Rutgers

Note: I should add that I was worried about this match. Beau has got to get to his offense earlier.

I know Cael and the staff are above reproach, but Beau should have taken neutral in the 3 rd period, up 3-2 with a minute riding time. Van Brill has no leg attacks to speak of and Beau’s defense is pretty good! What do people think?

 

[PSUHammering1]

Those were 3 very painful matches to watch from a pro-PSU standpoint. What can you say about Meredith give him an A for knowing he's going to get his *** kicked. Beau's ultimate result was very underwhelming.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I’ve never seen Penn State wrestlers get ridden like this.

Well, Meredith is not the starter, and was facing the #3 ranked wrestler, so him getting ridden wasn't a surprise. Negron isn't one of the stronger starters in the lineup, and Robert Kanniard is long and effective at using legs. Negron nearly got the reversal when he got the leg, but lost it while trying to free his own leg. It it what it is.

 

[SurgeOne]

I know Cael and the staff are above reproach, but Beau should have taken neutral in the 3 rd period, up 3-2 with a minute riding time. Van Brill has no leg attacks to speak of and Beau’s defense is pretty good! What do people think?

Angel Rivera was going to screw Beau Bartlett no matter what.
