Jason_L._Jackson 5 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 What Ohio State needs to do to beat Penn State. 125 – Triggas needs to avoid bonus points. I don’t think he needs to win, he just needs to keep it to a decision. 3-0 Penn State 133 – Logan needs to pin Conaway. I think he can and will. 6-3 Ohio State 141 – Hunter needs to pick up a major over Pearsall. This may be the key additional point in the match. 10-3 Ohio State 149 – Cam has to win, that’s all. No bonus, no pin, just hang on until the third period and take advantage of a gassed Alton. 13-3 Ohio State 157 – Demas has to keep it to a decision, which is likely, as A. Alton is not a big scorer. While an upset would be awesome, I don’t think it’s necessary. 13-6 Ohio State 165 – Martin needs to not get pinned, and only get teched. 13-11 Ohio State 174 – Heflin has to win. Take it to OT, and get the victory, in rideouts, or however. He has to win. 16-11 Ohio State 184 – Magrum needs to hold Ruth to a major. I think he can, but it is no guarantee. 16-14 Ohio State 197 – Camp needs to not get pinned. He won’t get teched, but he cannot get pinned. 18-16 Penn State 285 – Capone needs to win. I think he is the favorite and should win, but he can’t get upset. 19-18 Ohio State. Now, do I think that is all possible in the same match, yes, I do. What probability would I give it, maybe 20%, maybe less. Either way, I can’t wait to watch the Bucks wrestle a big match with Logan in the lineup. While it hurt Illinois to not have Futrell, I really think that having Logan there, especially getting a pin over a ranked opponent, sets the tone for the night and gets the team going.

silver-medal 670 Report post Posted February 3, 2013 Stiebers win, Capone wins. Heflin and Cam have shots. I don't see the Bucks winning this dual but I'd like to see the sort of effort out of the team that the Illini gave against Minny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too be quite honest, unless Andrews conditioning or lungs problem is better, I have this as a loss. See my predictions above. If Andrew is at full strength, I believe it's an easy win. Just my opinion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaWPIALguy 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2013 Demas keeps hitting cradles and getting no points for them. hard to see without the replay, but I thought for a cradle to be a takedown when the other wrestler has a leg, that the wrestler with the leg has to be broken down to a hip? If the wrestler in the cradle does not have a leg than this isn't the case? I am sure the refs who frequent the board can verify this or not Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mvattivo 47 Report post Posted February 10, 2013 Thoughts: 125 - Nico continues to improve, which is saying something when you consider that he as a runner-up as a true freshman. Majoring someone as good as Triggas is extremely impressive. 133 - Logan Steiber puts on a clinic from the top position in pretty much every match he wrestles. His mastery from the top position is enjoyable to watch. He goes from one combination to another. He is unbelievably good. He is simply too much for Conaway. 141 - Logan's brother is pretty good as well. Way too much for Reber to handle. 149 - This was a more disappointing match to watch than the Sueflohn loss. In the Sueflohn loss, Andrew gassed, but, in this match, he just never got anything going. I'm a big fan of Andrew, and I really hope he gets it figured out. His talent level is on par with anyone. He is definitely in a funk right now. 157 - I like the look in Dylan's eyes this year. He got sloppy on one takedown attempt, and his legs got tied up underneath of him. I liked his ability to do what it takes to get the win. I'm not sure what Ryan was arguing for on this one. Demas did lock a cradle, but, he was still facing Dylan, and Dylan still had Demas leg locked up. That is not a takedown. 165 - It is cool to see how the really good wrestlers remain calm, when faced with adversity. Taylor gets taken down and ridden out for a bit, and he remained calm as could be. He just went back to work and got it done......again. 174 - Matt Brown continues to lose these close matches against high ranked guys. Despite this, he is still one of my favorites. The effort is always there for Matt. He is so close to turning these results around. He just needs to wrestle under control a bit more and not get over-aggressive and sloppy. He also needs to continue to work on his scrambling ability. I still like his chances in Des Moines. 184 - Speaking of staying calm, cool and collected. I don't remember ever seeing someone make it look as easy as Ed Ruth has over these last two years. It just appears effortless, as he makes quality wrestlers look completely over-matched. 197 - This was a solid effort for 'Q'. His athleticism and scrambling ability make him a tough match-up for anyone. I think he goes out on top, where he deserves to be. 285 - Not to take anything away from Gingrich, but, I think the team does better moving forward with Lawson. Jimmy's starting to improve, and his size and athleticism makes him dangerous against anybody. I really hope Capone is o.k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRGuy 37 Report post Posted February 10, 2013 ruth has my vote for the best wrestler in college the only guy who i think can challenge him is logan steiber but i am holding out until the ramos match there is a lot of talent out there but man ruth just makes it look so easy to be honest i want to see him grow on the world level but i am affraid he will end up getting bored with wrestling after destroying everybody as far as usawrestling goes it is prbably a good thing he is in caels room if cael can humble him on occasion it may keep him motivated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
