Penn State is going to roll over OSU!!!!!

Yeah, OSU redshirted a bunch of studs this year to make a big run the next couple years at a national title.

Jordon and Hunter come to mind.

I think the Bucks win at 133, 141, 149 and 197.

Actually Ed Ruth is out so the Buckeyes will be favored at 184 as well. Unfortunately it will likely come down to bonus points and I believe Penn State will win the dual.

Didn't hear about that, but I know the Alton brothers are doubtful for the dual, so that could make it a little interesting.

Agree with 133 and 141, but 149 is questionable and 197 is a toss-up between #3 McIntosh (10-0) vs #5 Heflin (8-0).

125 Mega dec. Roberts-Megaludis tough but I think Roberts keeps it to a decision. 3-0 PSU
133 DiJulius dec. Gulibon/Conaway-Gulibon highly touted coming out but Johnni has a win over him this summer and is wrestling great. 3-3
141 Stieber pin Retherford-Zane Retherford is a stud freshman but those on other sights calling for him to beat Stieber are on crack. 9-3 Bucks
149 Paddock dec. Beitz-Alton still out until January Beitz (backup 141) has been filling in. 12-3 Bucks
157 Vollrath dec. Languis-Vollrath is a quality backup and is ranked top 20 (at least until Alton returns). Randy Languis has wrestled great this year but I think will be a bit overmatched here. 12-6 Bucks.
165-Taylor pin Grandominico-Local kid Grandominico has done an admirable job filling in this year at 165. That said David Taylor is David Taylor. 12-12
174 Brown maj dec. Martin-Martin is coming along but Matt Brown is a hammer who keeps the pressure on for 7 minutes. 16-12 Penn State.
184 Court dec. Phipps-Courts has wrestled well this year but did have some "lung issues" this weekend. I don't know much about Phipps but I am hoping for bonus but not really expecting it. 16-15 PSU
197-Heflin dec. McIntosh-I know Morgan McIntosh is a stud who had a great freshman campaign before a somewhat disappointing NCAA. After a rs last year he has returned bigger and badder. That said, people always undersell Nick Heflin. Rankings be damned, I will take the multiple time AA over the zero time AA. 18-16 Bucks
Hvy-Lawson dec. Tavanello-I think the behemoth Lawson wins a close one over Tav. If Tavenello could find a way to pull it out it could mean the dual. 19-18 PSU

This one looks really close on paper. If Courts or Paddock could find a way to score bonus that could swing the dual the other way.

Can someone explain why Hunter has not been wrestling? I havent been following much this year which is my own fault but I have not seen him wrestle or heard of him wrestling. Thanks in advance.

Hunter is Redshirting this season.

Agree with most except for Heflin dec. McIntosh, plus I think Ruth is wrestling (could be wrong??) and English may be at 149. 22-15 w/o Ruth, 26-12 w/ Ruth!

Retherford beats Stieber 4-2 in OT!! We Are...PENN STATE!!!!!

It appears that I may not be as knowledgeable as I once thought. Ouch!
