Penn State vs Iowa

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I think 184 will be a bonus point win tomorrow. And that’s not a knock on Iowa at all. I think both guys at 184 are great.

I expect Stallrocci to play counter wrestling tomorrow. If Iowa plays into it like the mindless meatheads they'll turn into from time to time when its clear and obvious that Penn State's wrestlers are simply looking to score off counters and big-dumb-oaf Iowa wrestler keeps attacking and wondering how he got scored on, then yeah sure, ole champ could win by bonus...........

Did you just not read or is comprehension not your thing? Of those scores, who exactly is top tier competition? I don’t think even the biggest PSU hater here is hinting that he doesn’t fully dominate inferior completion. As far as I go, even when he does wrestle the close ones, he dominates even those as much as he can because he controls nearly all the ties, doesn’t get out of position, puts on a very hard ride and never seems to tire.

Again, it isn’t a knock. It is just an observation about how his style adjusts to his toughest competition. And I will say Brands is more of a matchup problem in that he wrestles the exact same way in neutral, but can’t keep up on the mat, so you mainly will see a 1 takedown match or a 2-1 or 2-0 type with Certer getting RT…none of which has Carter ever really been in any danger of losing. To do that, you actually have to be able to take him down and that just doesn’t happen when he is wrestling on 2 legs….

Knee him in the face, UFC style.

"Oh yeah, well I'd like to see them just try that."

Yeah, so would I.............

Gabe is a go and you make a good point about not making mistakes and allowing Stallboy to capitalize. Gabe does not do this so yeah he is the Dawg in this fight but He is going to frustrate their guy.

Nobody gave a Bull a chance to win his first time vs Cenzo either…

Just to make sure I understand correctly, you are saying the guy with four regular decision wins on the season where he scored five points or less is the more aggressive wrestler when compared to the guy with a 100% bonus rate and lowest scoring output on the season has been 10 points (against the #9 guy at the weight)?

Insert Nikki Glaser impersonating Gronk saying “Even me know you no can read good!”…

It’s good to savor the wins where you get them. With that said, Alex is good in my book (like Max & Kem).

No matter who wrestles for Iowa at 84 it’ll be a boring match due to how stallocci wrestles. He’ll get up and then stall it out and not get called for stalling once.

100% bonus rate on the year, yet just stands around the whole match and stalls……wonderful logic you have

What do your stats have to do with what you responded too? Nothing.

Here's a stat. Bull = 1-1-1-1 B1G championships

Just don’t try to be logical on this board. You’ll get thrashed with a bunch of nonsensical digs. Do yourself a favor and enjoy watching all these fans do a complete 180 and start calling for Brands to be fired following the meet tomorrow. Or the more popular one lately, “we should have offered Taylor more”, “we need new blood, we need to go after Dake”

Not going to last forever PSU.

The talent level of his opponents matter to make for proper context. Don't get me wrong, Starocci may be one of the best fundamental positioning wrestlers I have ever seen. But, when he wrestle a top notch opponent, he goes back to that almost exclusively. Hold position, either wait for you to make a mistake, do his best to pound on you when you are on bottom or simply try to wear you down all the way until the second OT rideouts.

The only opponent that fits that bill this year is Parker and how many committed shot attempts did he have in regulation? How many total? Simply put, Carter's style isn't a point scoring one. That isn't a knock. In fact, I am probably the biggest fan on here of someone wrestling the way his core strengths maximize his results. That can be true, while still saying his style can be very reserved and he is "content" to win a 1-0, 2-0 match because no one can really come close to scoring on him when he wrestles that way...

Keck is the exception because he's the only one who is close enough to Starocci's level that he can't just score at will on him, but it's not for lack of effort. Again, the only time after freshman year that he wrestled that way was at nationals last year, and that was because he had to because of the injury. This year, he has MD wins against Hawks and Allred, and last year against PK and TFs against Wittlake and Incontrera. Those guys are top 15 caliber wrestlers and he wasn't just happy to win 2-0 because he could. That's ridiculous, as are most of your arguments on here, LOL.

Obviously my above post didn't hit home. 🤣🤣

Anyone looking for wrestling for life action? You pay $25 for each blue bonus victory. I'll pay $25 for each black and gold win bonus or otherwise. All 10 weights in play. Either way WFL and kids win.
