PSU will have five matches with the higher ranked wrestler. Iowa should have five matches with the higher ranked wrestler.
Yep, how we beat the F*** st guys
He got tired. And beat ranked opponent by bigger margin than scored by shitty ref.
I’m worried about that knee if Dean gets to that bow and arrow
I mean you can’t really blame nebby coaches for losing composure. They walked in with a #2 ranking flying high and basically took a savage arse beating. Even 57 and 74 were lack luster wins for them. I think we should send them thank you cards for helping give our guys a work outs instead of criticizing them.
That looked painful late as he hooked that leg
I’m with you. If Warner’s knee is banged up let him rest and heal. But frankly I think it’s not the knee; he’s simply not wrestling…not doing anything. That effort is an F; looked shitty against an average wrestler. Again, if it is the knee then stay away until it’s 100 percent so he can actually wrestle; he’s too good to be putting on these embarrassing performances.
Not excusing Warner but Allred is better than average. His other 4 losses are twice to #12 Tanner Sloan and twice to #6 Isaac Trumble. He majored #29 Davison from Northwestern and beat #15
Seriously though, my only worry with Lee is dudes in March ( realistically Glory is the only one with a shot) will have a game plan that includes survive till the 3rd period and try to wear him out and steal a win late in the third. We’ve seen him gas a number of times due to the long injury layoff, I’m sure in the room his cardio is getting ironed out, but he hasn’t even been to the 2 period in a bit. Maybe on Sunday Barnett can survive more than 3 minutes and make him work?
I just can’t see Lee losing a match that goes 7 or more minutes. I think the only chance is if someone catches him, like Piccininni down in Stillwater or heck like Ramos almost did with Purdue. He’s on a mission.
I don’t bash Warner, but I do get disappointed that doesn’t think he’s as good as he is. If we could transplant Spencer’s brain into to J-war I think we’d see a different guy.
Agreed. 7th, 4th and then 2nd. Prior to the NCAA tourney he had 4 losses in 2019, 4 losses 2020 (tourney cancelled), 2 losses 2021, and 5 losses last year.
I am not sure what you want. The guy was 1 TD away from a NCAA championship last year. I'd say his head is just fine.
If, and this is looking like a big if by the week, Lee has to go a full 7 minutes in March, it would be on Friday or Saturday night. The weigh-ins are in the AM everyday, I would seriously doubt he’ll have any gas tank problems by evening.
We see things differently, enough said. Although I’ll add that last years results don’t help winning this year.
Warner is battling.. He’s best when the lights are brightest. I believe the fire will be lit when the rubber hits the road in March.
Lol.
I was waiting for the whole "actually its Iowa's fault" angle for Manning being an insufferable douche. Surprised it took so long
I’d settle for Cobe’s fearless brain. We all know Warner is capable. I was a little frustrated he wore himself out riding the entire 2nd period. Considering his lack of lungs, his energy might be better invested in more offense (solid when he commits). That said, I’m not sure his knee isn’t still bothering him. His conditioning must improve if he’s to win close/OT matches in March.
Sorry — I was up late watching the NC State - VaTech dual I had DVR’d, then had to catch up on my reading this morning . . . otherwise I would have been on this sooner. 😉
Agree on not finishing. It was there for the taking. He had his arm through & just needed to force NE to his hip. A wrestler with his experience should finish for the TD. I’m beating a dead horse but he needs more mental toughness. If the knee is holding him back, it’s understandable but no less frustrating.
And Dresser? And Gomez? Bastida? And on and on . . .
He shows up twice a year. BEFORE the Goofers and Huskers duals.
Exactly - Warner gets savagely criticized every year on this board then goes and brings home hardware.
