Jerome Ward gets knocked off by Curran in OT. Mueller defeats Weatherman with a point from riding time. Reader lays the smackdown on the 174 back up, and then Varner goes and beats Eric Thompson seemingly pretty definitively which is interesting given that Thompson is an excellent heavyweight.

Big story from ASU is obviously Robles DEC Ashmore 7-4, Drouin's match looks like it was close too though.

Galante and Caruso both go down, it looks like Meys is still planning on redshirting so Galante still may be good. Caruso may have some work to do now though.

Craig did not exactly dominate his match either . I was going to try to get Ward off you as a back up but his schedule was too bad -now I am really glad I got whatshisname instead .
That match can't have done much for Galante's confidence .

And folks shouldn't put too much stock into wrestleoff results, as these people know their opponents inside and out. It's a great way to get some discussions going but we'll have to see how the early opens play out before we anoint starters at this point....

I'm confused at Thompson of ISU, he didn't actually get down to 197 did he? Why didn't he wrestle Zabriske?

Maybe Z is a little dinged, or something.

I kind of found it odd too that instead of having Thompson wrestle Z, they sent Varner up to give him a match.

Unless Thompson lost a limb or something over the summer I don't think he was down at 97.
