Wrestling MATCH THREAD: Rutgers Wrestling vs. No. 2 Michigan

[koleszar]

Mazza's an animal just toyed with Joe at the end.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Massa really poured it on in the second half of the match. Seemed like he took it personal that Grello got that first score. He will come out with the major decision, defeating Joe Grello 13-5

Michigan leads Rutgers 22-4

 

[RUz91]

yikes

 

[Bobbynieds]

Pin at 184 nad 197....... The Collucci pins Parris and RU WINS!!

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Who are the backups at 65 and 74?

 

[Bobbynieds]

74 I think Turley,
65 Oneil?

 

[Lex Knapp]

John Poznanski making his collegiate debut against Joseph Walker. Walker and Poz wrestled in the same Super 32 bracket in 2019, where Poz was the runner-up, and Walker took 3rd

 

[Lex Knapp]

In that first minute you can already tell Poz is going to be the real deal

 

[MS-RU]

Love what we are seeing from Poz in the first. He is going to be fun to watch the next 4-5 years.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Poz with a takedown and dominant ride on top the remainder of the first period.

Poz starts the second period on bottom with a 2-0 lead

 

[Lex Knapp]

Poz escapes right away, extending his lead to 3

 

[SCNJ]

Poz gonna be a good one

 

[zappaa]

Please forgive my ignorance in the sport of wrestling at this level.
But how are we ranked so high without Suriano, and outside of Rivera and Janzer (if he wrestles) a bunch of 500 career wrestlers?
Poznanski is impressive as I type this

 

[Lex Knapp]

No score the rest of the way. Poz has a 3-0 lead, with RT almost locked up.

He will start the third period on top

 

[MS-RU]

Wow, what defense and reattack by Poz!!

 

[Lex Knapp]

This kid is good...

 

[SCNJ]

That might have been the best takedown defense I’ve ever seen from a Rutgers wrestler. Holy crap

 

[Clearscreen25]

Wow Poz is athletic

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Nice duck

 

[MS-RU]

Great win and match by Poz!

 

[Bobbynieds]

Tournament ranking is different than dual match rankings

Suriano is still in the rankings for RU

with 2 NC, Rutgers would finish about 10 in tournament (See 2018)

 

[Lex Knapp]

Poz with a 7-1 win, and he looked great for a true freshman. The future is bright for this kid.

Michigan leading 22-7

I believe the ranking is with Suriano. No way they could know if he'd be here or not. Hell our coach doesn't even know what's going on.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Billy Janzer taking the mat at 197-lbs, taking on Michigan's Andrew Davison

 

[SCNJ]

Janzer looks big but he’s gotta get rid of the little kid haircut

No I would not say that to his face

There are maybe 15 decent teams in the country.

 

[Lex Knapp]

I believe the ranking is with Suriano. No way they could know if he'd be here or not. Hell our coach doesn't even know what's going on.

In Goody's defense, coaching Suriano is like coaching Terrell Owens. Not an easy situation

 

[Lex Knapp]

Scoreless first period for Janzer. He will start the second period on top

 

[MS-RU]

Would have loved to seen Janzer score in the first. He needs to open up and be able to score more to take that next step to the next level.

We don’t have to wrestle the #2 team in the country ever match

 

[Bobbynieds]

Somebody tell the announcer that the number next to Rutgers is there score and not their ranking

He said Poz was #4 and Janzer #7

lol

 

[Lex Knapp]

Scoreless second period, as well. However, Janzer racks up two minutes of riding time, as he remains on top the entire period.

Janzer will go on bottom to start the third period.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer up and out for the first point of the bout. Riding time now locked up as well. Janzer follows up with a takedown, then cuts Davison loose to make the score 3-1, with a RT point coming

 

[Lex Knapp]

Janzer walks away 4-1 win. The score does not reflect how one-sided that match was.

Rutgers down 22-10 heading into the big boys

 

[MS-RU]

Gritty, tough win by Janzer but he is going to need to be able to score more moving forward. He controlled the whole match though.

 

[tfio]

Anywhere to watch the exhibition matches that we’re doing after?

 

[RU Mike73]

Now comes HW and Mich keeps rolling out the studs.

 

[koleszar]

Gritty, tough win by Janzer but he is going to need to be able to score more moving forward.

I have a feeling it's going to take him a little while to get used to 197. Same as Pagano last year. I thought no way is Pagano going to be able to do this, then he got used to the weight and was off to the races.

 

[Lex Knapp]

Christian Colucci returns from injury to take on No. 2 Mason Parris. Rough way to come back

 

[koleszar]

7 second takedown. That's why he's #2.
