Ohio St vs Purdue on BTN

[Flop The Nuts]

On BTN tonight at 8:00 pst.

[Gold]

125: #18 Nikko Triggas vs. Cashe Quiroga
133: Ian Paddock vs. Akif Eren
141: #2 Reece Humphrey vs. Juan Achuletta
149: #3 Lance Palmer vs. Sam Patacsil
157: Sean Nemec/Tony Jameson vs. Colton Salazar
165: #7 Colt Sponseller vs. Jason Martin
174: #12 Dave Rella vs. #6 Luke Manuel
184: #9 Mike Pucillo vs. Nick Corpe
197: CJ Magrum vs. #12 Logan Brown
285: Corey Morrison vs. Adam Walls

157, 174, and 197 seem to be the matches of interest, while Rella vs. Manuel looks to be the "marquee" match of the dual.

My Predictions:
125: Triggas PIN Quiroga (6-0)
133: Paddock TECH Eren (11-0)
141: Humphrey PIN Archuletta (17-0)
149: Palmer MAJ Salazar (21-0)
157: Salazar DEC whoever (I sort of think this will go the other way, but Salazar won decisively over Nemec last time the wrestled) (21-3)
165: Sponseller TECH Martin (26-3)
174: Manuel DEC Rella (would be a huge win for Rella, but Manuel has been very good this year) (26-6)
184: Pucillo MAJ Corpe (30-6)
197: Brown DEC Magrum (I expect Magrum to be very competitive in this match, but I'll go with the experienced Brown for now) (30-9)
285: Morrison PIN Walls (36-9)

I know I probably went a little crazy with bonus points on this match, but Purdue is pretty bad. Should be ugly. Bucks shouldn't have too much trouble winning by 20.

Impressive win for Quiroge. Nice win for Jameson--might give him some help securing the starting job.

Salazar started out like a ball of fire but he's had some pretty big losses in the last month or so. Not to take anything away from Jameson, but something is up with Salazar...
