Penn guy wrestled for 15 seconds really hard.
 
Composto absolutely fought hard all match....to not engage. That is the type of wrestling everyone hates to watch. Stalled the entire match.
I agree, but Woods shouldn't give a shit and press the issue. Rack up stalls to make the guy stay in there so he can engage and finally succeed on attacks.

But he also set the tone by riding 180 seconds in that 1st period. Cut him and go again... But I guess riding that much early is cool too.

What a joke, Daddy VV must be giving hand jobs to Brands, no reason not to give Rathjen match. Especially when they won’t let them wrestle off.

Brands should walk into the Penn locker room and ask if they’d like to wrestler the second half of this meet or just continue to hug us and show their “brotherly love”. Then he should head straight to the ref and ask him how his vacation is going. It seems the ref blew his stall call wad early. There’s no point in him being there now. Any Jackass can blow a whistle to end a period.

That said. Holy shit Iowa. Push the damn pace. Make it obvious that you’re being the aggressor. Not sure the ref will do a damn thing but it sure as hell looks better when you’re taking shots.

Not my favorite first half of a wrestling meet I’ve ever sat through.

If VV3 keeps going at this pace he’s gonna lead the nation in no takedown wins.

I'm usually an optimist, but this is really hard to find anything positive about this dual so far.

This is like watching a Brian Ferentz offense materialize on the mat, makes me want to vomit.

I hope we're coming off a bout of sickness and this isn't what we've turned in to. If this is what we bring in March we may not even be top 10.
 
Why can Iowa not recruit guys that like to score.

Ayala seems to be fine with squeezing out a win
Teske just doesn't seem to be able to put it together against top guys
RW should be dominating these guys and is fine winning close
VV doesn't have much offense
Franek also doesn't seem to be trying to put guys away. Barely shot tonight and didn't do much offensively against ISU


Very boring first half of the match so far.
