Man, I have to say, this is some of the worst grousing and whining that I have ever seen on a dual thread here. The team went 6-4 in bouts and won the dual. I predicted a 7-3 bout split not imagining a Peterson loss. Yes, Peterson didn't look good and had a wtf moment at the end when he should have taken his escape to tie it up instead of trying to force the reversal. Anyone know why he didn't wrestle against MSU? He was sick. Think that might have affected him tonight? Think other guys might have had the flu too?
I was at the dual. Penn wrestled hard. They wrestled really well and were urging their guys on. They looked like they wanted it more. After the break, RU came out and got the job done. The team was fired up and so was the crowd. Guess what? Penn is a very good team. They are not "unranked" as someone earlier posted. They are #27 in the coaches's poll and #25 on Intermat. They are now 10-6 with 4 losses to ranked teams (SDSU, Lehigh, Cornell, and Rutgers).
Oh, and hats off to Jackson Turley. What a great performance in a huge spot on Senior Night. No dual win without his big upset.
