Kennedy did a nice job controlling that match. Not as close as the score would indicate. Gave up late reversal that was inconsequential to the match.

Fun match at 184, with Dallago earning the big upset over Q Wright with a reversal at the buzzer.

Quentin looked sloppy as all get out to me. Bad on top, gave up a careless TD at edge too.

If there a reversal @ the end it shoul have been earlier. I watched the replay & there was no change of position the last 5 or 6 seconds of the match. Q still had hips & tightwaist. However he shouldn't have been in the position to let Kessel decide the match for him tonight. He will have his work cut out for him vs Steinhaus Sunday & based upon his past few weeks I don't know any reason to favor him vs KS.

Why hasn't anybody mentioned Long beating Futrell, this is a quality win for him right here. Futrell is a legit contender, just give Long some more mat time and he is gonna be right back in the finals

Isn't this how the whole "Penn State will crush Iowa" conversation started?
