Nelson goes down. Up to his feet and out quickly. 3-1 Nelson. Riding time locked. 1 minute to go.
 
TD confirmed quickly. Max back to his old ways. One shot the entire match.
He talked all week about not scoring more and not being afraid to give up an early TD and not wanting to lose leaving points on the mat and then wrestles tight and let's the guys make it a 1 score late to win the match.

Brands with strong collar tie. E shoots and Brands counters with a go behind for 2. E escapes and Brands another quick 2 right before the buzzer. Brands wins 8-2 with riding time. 14-6 Hawks.

Exactly. It’s all talk.
 
Assad vs Bates. Abe with a shot. Bates drapes over the top. Abe on his side. Assad has both legs but Bates has a leg and it’s a stalemate.

It's frustrating because he has such a good tank and he's really strong so it would be in his best interest to attack early and often and wear his opponents down. Even if he gets taken down, he's likely going to be fresher later into the match to get the win. Standing around and waiting is taking away his biggest asset and leaves him very vulnerable

Espn has no say where the dual starts. If both teams don’t agree where to start there’s a coin flip. My guess NW won the flip since Iowa detests not starting at 125.

Deaugustino has been injured this year. I think NW will make a game time decision on whether he goes. He forfeited last week agains McKee. Might be doing the same. I hope they go, only so many Lee matches left in a Hawkeye singlet
Right, just like their "random" draw starting point a couple years ago that just so happened to feature Dake/Taylor as the final match of the night. How lucky was ESPN, wow?!
 
0-0 with a minute to go. Assad with a double and switches to a single. Bates blocking and Abe with a foot sweep for the TD! 2-0 end of the first. Assad goes down. Abe to his feet and Bates grabs a leg and they go oob.

LOL you do realize duals are different than the NCAA finals where the weigh in is in the morning right? The NCAA/ESPN absolutely control the order of the finals. They can not do that with duals (by rule).

They manipulate the finals every year but it’s not the case during duals. You know this? Or are you being sarcastic and I missed it.
