Howe definitely is going to be fun to watch wrestle with the college kids full time next year.

Thats truly saying something. If you know, was the TD off something Howe did offensively, or did he counter a Gillespie shot?

Impressive job by Howe regardless losing only to Gillespie, and to Becker for 3rd.

Howe's takedown was the result of his constant pressure. He was in deep a couple times early in the match and Gillespie scored a takedown on one of his patented low shots.

Howe controlled the action on their feet.

Howe had a pretty good day wrestling with the big boys and showed he could compete right now if needed.
