It's pretty crazy how much more active the heavyweight matches have become the last few years. I think Snyder really changed the weight. Watching on the Quadbox (TM) there isn't as much of a contrast next to the 125 lb matches. Still slower but not as much of d difference as their use to be

 

[WildTurk]

Ayala will be on mat #3 vs #3-Barnett from Wisconsin. Tough assignment. Throw the kitchen sink at him Drake

Good points. Hwt’s routinely change levels and drop to the ground in search of legs now. That. used to be relatively rare. It’s good to see.

I think the credit is due to the addition of the tweener weight in high school much more than any one wrestler. It allows for talented wrestlers to be competitive and stick with wrestling in high school while they are still growing into future heavyweights.

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

Come on Drake..keep him down

 

[Jrjt0518]

Damn it.

[LetsGoHawks83]

Damn. Love Ayala's activity

 

[Jrjt0518]

So close. Great match

 

[Vallholl]

"Takes one shot"
"Gets one TD"
"Slow down and win"
"that's the strategy"

 

[Muscles1989]

Drakes clearly not 100% and raw to the college grind but he is right there with some top guys. Dam

 

[HawkFan1986]

God Bono is a douche!! Sweet shush by Barnett, I think Drake sees that guy again and puts that dude away!

 

[MVPFAN]

Drake with a couple youthful mistakes but right there.

 

[CAhawki]

They really need to review when you opponent flees the mat like a bitch…

 

[Hawkeye4lifee]

Ayala does not have a good path now

Barnett is a POS just like his asshole coach Bono.

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Yea....like ran CLEAR across the mat and out of bounds.... I like the push out for points. Stop that garbage

 

[Rose bowl or bust]

How many allocations for 125?

Hildebrands out too

 

[Muscles1989]

Ayala does not have a good path now

Possible McKee again

 

[LetsGoHawks83]

Down goes PSU!

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

God Bono is a douche!! Sweet shush by Barnett, I think Drake sees that guy again and puts that dude away!

Love it when guys act tough after doing mostly nothing.

 

[STEEL125]

Ayala does not have a good path now

I like it. Either get another shot at McKee or take out Hildebrandt

 

[sstark46]

Ayala, if he wins his R12 match, will then face winner of McKee/Hildebrandt

 

[Vallholl]

Drake has a tough row to hoe
ADS up here
Hildebrand loses to D'AG and drops to Drake's side
Cannon fighting off ADs
ADS has leg but it's funky
SM
2:09

 

[HawkFan1986]

Mostly nothing? He didn’t do anything and then punked out. But with Bono jumping around like a deranged kangaroo and pointing at Iowa’s side, it’s not hard to see where he gets it.

 

[OpenWater]

Great effort from Drake, but oof, a tough loss for the team race. PSU pushes a couple low seeds through last round, and about to poke a bunch into the semis.

 

[meatloaf55]

When did Matt McDonough stop coaching at Wisconsin? I must have missed that

 

[Vallholl]

As I looked down
Cannont tried a slide by and ADS ducked behind.
ADS is now standing behind Cannot for a TD
1:42

Couple of years ago

Retuned to Iowa City area. Was assistant coaching at Cornell College for awhile, not anymore.

 

[CaliHawkFan]

Yup. He is better than Barnett. Finish that first period takedown and it's a different match.
