Woods isn't the same this season.
Woods getting manhandled. He is really not very good from neutral, very limited attacks.
Not surprised at all. Woods doesn't shoot Woods doesn't win.
Woods with his head on the mat a lot in that match. He never seems very upset to lose, I don’t expect him to throw a fit but dang just seems like it’s got no effect.
we have a lot of experience watching great iowa wrestlers struggle their final year, but it never gets easier to watch.
Really does seem like it is that easy. There’s 2 different neutral Woods. One that pulls the trigger a lot and the other that level changes and never shoots.
I would rather make a grilled cheese sandwich than watch Iowa wrestling.
TB has the boys breathin fire 🔥
Woods seems to have lost the ability to shoot. It's too bad, because your top game is only good if you can get on top.
Mods, can we move this entire thread to the “Iowa wrestling is dead” thread. Thanks!
Brands can go anytime. Talented wrestlers come here to die more or less
I swear, I don’t think some of you complainers really watch closely or even know what you are watching.
1.) Most of the Michigan wrestlers essentially make it look like their opponents aren’t attacking because of their positioning and hand fighting. You are attacking Ayala, but the refs ALLOW DeAugustino, Amine and especially Lewan to wrestle 100% defensive and do not make them open up at all. All attacking that stance does is give Michigan their best chance to counter or re-attack. If the refs don’t call it Ayala will ALWAYS have a very hard time with him.
2.). Teske wrestled his butt off the entire match. He simply lost to a wrestler who is better in neutral and didn’t have barely any time to take advantage of his best position riding. Even that last takedown was very solid fundamentals he just ran into a guy that is comfortable going to his back with his knees to his chest and casting over. 99.9% get taken down in that position…

There is no doubt Woods was substantially weaker than Mendez.
That's not a good feeling.
Considering going away to watch the women in the finals.
Lemly is definitely going to be a problem in the future. Kids fearless. Can Michigan pull in another bunch of transfers again?
Gomez is so awesome lol wish everybody wrestled with his mindset
I just told my wife the same thing. He seems to have regressed as the year went on. I wonder if there are some health issues or something.
Yeah well then he should f***ing come to Iowa so we can win a national championship......
Real has been dealt a pretty rough hand this year…. This is the part where vhs shows up to tell you Tom cattle prodded Real onto the mat when in reality Real called his shots and more “rest” wasn’t going to do him any good anyway.
He didn't look right from the beginning. The ISU dual he looked just as bad, at least he found a way to win that one.
Everything about you screams “participation trophy”.
But the officials have nothing to call if Ayala isn't shooting either. We all realize he may give up a take down early on in this case, but if it opens up the match it will be worth it. We've now seen the "wait til the end" strategy end up in 2 losses for Iowa and a whole bunch of wins for Deaugistino against a lot of guys.
Maybe it’s an extreme run of bad luck but a high percentage of Tom’s guys are badly hurt by the end of their career.
