Wrestling Match Thread: Garden State Grapple - RU Wrestling vs. Hofstra & UNC

[koleszar]

I’m here and completely confused on the tilt pin. Also this has to be the fastest dual meet I’ve ever seen in person.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Trey Rodgers strikes first with a takedown, but Bulsak reverses him.

Bulsak eliminated Rodgers from the 2021 NCAA tournament with a 10-1 MD

 

[Lex Knapp]

Bulsak escapes, and Rodgers gets in on a leg. Bulsak funks out of the Rodgers shot attempt for a score of his own. 5-2, Bulsak

 

[Lex Knapp]

Rodgers escapes to make it 5-3 with just under :30 left in the second period

 

[Lex Knapp]

Period ends on the feet, with Bulsak leading 5-3.

Rodgers takes neutral to start the third period

 

[jerzey devil]

I really wish had replay to go back and watch. I turned my eyes to my computer and that was it.

Ali phantom punch stuff there

 

[Lex Knapp]

Bulsak with the go-behind for a takedown, making it 7-3

 

[MS-RU]

Bulsak is so tough on top. Love to see it.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Bulsak is TOUGH. Very solid 8-3 win over a ranked Trey Rodgers.

35 - 3 Rutgers

 

[Lex Knapp]

Boone McDermott up against No. 20 Zack Knighton-Ward

 

[Lex Knapp]

No action between the two ranked big men in the first period.

McDermott starts the second on bottom

 

[Lex Knapp]

McDermott escapes to put the first point on the board

 

[Lex Knapp]

McDermott gives up a takedown on a throw attempt, making it 2-1 Knightom-Ward with about :40 in the second

Crazy fast dual meet.

I love that Rutgers had its mats delivered there.

 

[MS-RU]

Boone got lucky there, very close to getting onto his back and getting pinned. Only gave up 2 which is a win.

Ward has had some powerful mat returns as well

 

[Lex Knapp]

McDermott is unable to escape before the second period ends, keeping Knighton-Ward out in front 2-1.

McDermott on top to start the third

 

[RUCrackers]

Boone looks awful

 

[MS-RU]

Ward is just bigger, faster, and stronger than Boone

 

[Lex Knapp]

McDermott unable to get out, dropping a 6-1 loss to Knighton-Ward.

Rutgers wins the dual 35 - 6

 

[Lex Knapp]

Post Dual Thoughts:

- Clark showed improvement, but needs to get more offensive
- Poz is a HAMMER
- It was good to see Bulsak look strong in his first real test of the season
- Boone has some adjustments to make before the gauntlet of Big Ten heavyweights begins in January

 

[RUCrackers]

Ward is just bigger, faster, and stronger than Boone

Yeah but no head movement or sense of urgency. As I said before McDermott's going to be a 20 between 30 wrestlers with respect to ranking this year. He will be lucky if he gets a wild card at the Big 10s

 

[Lex Knapp]

UNC/Wisc going to be a fun finish

 

[MS-RU]

UNC/Wisc going to be a fun finish

Agreed.

Excited to see Amos. If all goes accordingly, Wisc should pull it out.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Not this year, but one day we will see an Amos/Poz match and it is going to be a lot of fun to watch.

 

[Bobbynieds]

That assumes Poz goes up a weight and Amos stays at 197 (He did wrestler 97kg at worlds)

 

[Bobbynieds]

HIllger cementing W away for Wisc.

 

[Lex Knapp]

That assumes Poz goes up a weight and Amos stays at 197 (He did wrestler 97kg at world

I've been told that the long term plan for Poz is to eventually go up to 197

 

[Lex Knapp]

Need to speak with Goody about not scheduling matches on CFB Rivalry Saturday in the future. Looks like there are some great games going on.

Creates room for Soldano I guess

 

[MS-RU]

@Lex Knapp who do you think we see at 165 against UNC? Angelo or Clark?

Lol. Bama just scored with 25 sec left to tie auburn

 

[Lex Knapp]

Clark has been the guy, if there was a time to give Angelo a shot it was against Hofstra. I expect Clark.

 

[Lex Knapp]

I have it up on the computer lol. Wrestling is my first love, but CFB is a very close second for me.

Yeah this is a bad weekend between that and Thanksgiving. Attendance looks pretty weak, unfortunately, but would be much higher if this event was at the RAC and another weekend.

Agreed

I opened on Big app and all I am getting is a spartan commercial. Anyone else?

 

[Lex Knapp]

Wrestling will begin soon here at the Prudential Center. This will be a huge match for Rutgers against UNC. There are six bouts between two ranked opponents: 133, 141, 149, 174, 184, and 197.

My key matches for this are 133, 165, and 174. Who ever can win 2 of 3, or better, at those weights will be in a good position to win the dual.

 

[Bobbynieds]

OK.
I am so happy i am a Rutgers Wrestling Fan
Especially after todays' games in Football, Men Basketball and Women Basketball.


GO RU WRESTLING

Nothing says Big 10 app like a loop of Yianni’s face

 

[Bobbynieds]

Will Kannaird wrestle 157?
