Penn St vs Ohio St predictions

[therick]

I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised by the the Buckeyes today. Nice win for Tessari over Alton. Alton needs to get better at denying legs. He got ridden like a rented mule. I haven't seen video of the Demas match, but it was a pretty unpopular non-call at the end. I didn't have a good view from where I was sitting to see if he had a good lockup on the cradle at the end. It's obvious the D Alton isn't quite in match shape yet, but he was able to hold on. When that one didn't go the Buckeyes way, I knew that was the end as far as hopes for a Buckeye upset. DT and Ruth did what they do and Wright just beat Courts in every 50/50 position. I feel for Capone, he wasn't doing too bad until the shoulder popped. As for the Stiebers......They just dominate people.

Nice fall for Hunter.

I didn't see that coming, though I expected him to dominate.

Was your expectation based on him to wrestling Reber or Pearsall?

Matt Brown sliding into a little bit of a slump

He is wrestling people with a pulse

I think we are more/less just seeing where he falls in the pecking order. Hes only lost to good guys: evans, heflin, kokesh, storley. Hes probably just a 6-10 or so type of guy.

[1stplace]

I agree. I was just pointing out that I personally think it's more to do with the competition he is wrestling than the way Matt is wrestling. It's looking like he was a little overranked and expectation may have been a little too high

I agree 1st place. And thats not a knock on Brown. It just shows how deep 174 is this year. The B1G alone will basically be the National Tournament at that weight. Going to be exciting. Both the Streeblers have a legit chance to win it all this year too. fOSU is looking like they have loaded up pretty well for the future.
