I don't think any of those three matches are up in the air.
I think we're talking 125, 157, HWT.
I'd be happy and not surprised if DA wins at 157. That's the only one I feel I could reasonably call up in the air.
As for the other two, I'd be thrilled with a win, but I'd have to say it would a substantial upset. I realize that 125 is the 1-2 match up, and HWT is 5-16 (roughly) but I feel like HWT would be less of an upset.
I hate to say this because I am a big Matt Brown fan, but Penn State may have a better chance to win the dual without him. Have Vollrath wrestle 165 and David Taylor bump up to 174. Match-ups are definitely in Iowa's favor. Penn State should out point them at NCAAs by at least 20.
I really hope Matt Brown pulls it off. I just watched Evans' match against Michigan State (Wohlfert?) and, in my opinion, he was just getting nasty - a little too dirty for tastes. If somebody clawed my face in a match like that, I'd probably be throwing punches too. I love Evans' toughness, intensity and that 'stache, but let's keep it clean.
Is that video still available?
