Dual coming up here this weekend in Stillwater, with Iowa not being favored to win a dual for the first time in a long time. Oklahoma State will be looking to hand Iowa their first loss in two years.

125: McDonough dec Morrison 3-0 Iowa (Should be a comfortable win for McD here, don't really see much in the way of bonus point chances here though)

133: Oliver maj Ramos 4-3 OK State (And with the way Oliver has been wrestling this year, coupled with the fact that he's much bigger than Ramos this may wind up being a conservative estimate)

141: Kindig dec Ballweg 7-3 OK State (One of several match ups that could possibly go either way. I think Kindig has more ways to win and he should unless he lets Ballweg tie him up with his funk)

149: Parks dec Ballweg 10-3 OK State (While it probably won't be a pretty match, Parks should win here without much trouble)

157: St. John dec Erisman 10-6 OK State (Despite the fact that he's coming off an awful Midlands, I think St. John is able to pick up a few TD's and defend the tilts enough to win here)

165: Bailey dec Jannsen 13-6 OK State (Good match up here between two guys who are pretty evenly matched and are wrestling well. This is going to be a big one for Iowa to take if they want to win the dual)

174: Lofthouse dec McNeil 13-9 OK State (With Benefiel assumed as being out of the line up you assume McNeil steps in here, Lofthouse should take advantage of the fact that he's a guy who may have had to make it down here to this weight quickly. With the way Benefiel has been wrestling I'd favor Lofthouse even if he was here)

184: Perry dec Gambrall 16-9 OK State (Battle between two guys who haven't been particularly effective this year. Perry won their matches this summer so I'll give him the nod for the time being)

197: Foster dec Lofthouse 19-9 OK State (Foster should win without issue here, possibility of a methodical type major, but Lofthouse has done a good job keeping scores low)

285: Rasing dec Rosholt 19-12 OK State (Rasing just too big, knowing him though a Rosholt win here is certainly possible)

So many toss ups imo-41,49,57,65,74,84,285 all could go one way or the other in my opinion.

I think(and this is probably the furthest throught from Brands' mind) they should send Clark out there on a "dont get bonused" mission. He's tough to score on and could possibly keep it to a wbd. Although the way JO has looked it may make no difference whatsoever.

I will take Gambrall over Perry.

I'm sure that I missed it many times by now but where is Z at? Injured?

Sprained middle finger.




Yes he is injured.

That can be a tough injury to overcome.

I think his shoulder is tore up from the floor up.
