No. 14 Rutgers Wrestling Welcomes No. 7 Ohio State Sunday

Why would you chose neutral in the 3rd? Takedown and ride out is a major. If you choose bottom, a ride out doesn’t matter but an escape, takedown and ride out is a decision. Would force either 2 take downs or backs for a major. Don’t agree with this at all.

White is not winning this match regardless so you have to save points.
 
This is absolutely brutal. Through two weights and the only points a Rutgers wrestler has scored is because he was let up just to be taken down. Two weights down and you have literally had nothing to cheer about.

They’re our two worst weights going in. Realistically if you want to be competitive being down 7-0 at this point is probably as ideal as it could realistically be.
 
Officiating is terrible. They’re not overturning this. The whole country needs to be retrained on what a takedown is. So dumb.

Didn’t these two refs end a match in overtime with this exact situation two days ago? Of course today is a different call

Cool but I'd really like to be able to cheer once in a while. Even just for a takedown or reversal or escape when they try to keep us down. Anything would be a bonus.
 
Match would play out differently with a takedown but if that’s not a takedown just get rid of the back exposure take down rule. Kind of as clear as it gets there.
 
If you were truly expecting to cheer at 157/165 today then you haven’t been watching this team in at least 5 years
And who's fault is that?

And again this ref blows. He was pinned well before the call. But once again clueless missed it.
 
That pin might be huge for the team score if our next 4 horses can get going
 
Poz getting concussed 10 seconds after Solandos pin would be just about the most Rutgers thing ever
 
The situation? The whole program

That expectation today? You and you only. Sorry
So, hoping for just one takedown, reversal or escape on their own is wishful thinking now? Jesus Christ, we haven't just lowered the bar, we threw it away.
 
OSU gets an early takedown.....stalls third period.....seems to be a pattern
 
Geog backed up for about 5 and a half minutes. Don’t know how he escaped that near pin from Poz. Would like to see a replay to see how that wasn’t a back exposure take down.
 
Poz doesn’t look the same. He seemingly has problems bouncing back after losses which is a huge problem. 2nd week in a row he gets upset and basically lets the team down in a big spot.

Yeah but regardless he didnt get a takedown entire match and really wasn't that close besides one time he could have abandoned the double unders and got for the TD instead.

Seems like strength/Size is starting to show its wart at this weight for him.

Watching Geog this season really thought this one would be a fairly easy win for him - like 7-2 or something like that.

Agree. Very worrisome especially considering issues he had 2 yrs ago with similar situation. Wonder if mentally something goes awry with him in these losses. Hopefully he can fight back. I’d consider sitting him vs Brooks. No win situation. Not going to gain confidence and will most likely be a real bad loss
 
And he still has Brooks to go. 😲
Probably best to sit him and feed one of the backups as a sacrificial lamb. He also has Jaxson Smith after that who is Maryland’s best wrestler so he needs to get right but as we’ve seen in the past, it doesn’t appear that easy for him.
