No. 16 Rutgers Wrestling Treks to No. 1 Penn State for Sunday Dual / Match Thread

[njsportsphan]

I can't stand Carter starocci! That stupid face of his, trying to beat up on a backup. I hope Kemmerer launches him and packs him. You got to give it to O'Neill. He's really trying to put up a fight

Agreed. He comes off as a dickhead

 

[robjknight]

Who said we wouldn’t get double digits!

 

[RUTrack94]

Ok … missed the Clark match but saw it was a decision which is awesome … too much to ask O’Neill against the top ranked wrestler … major would have been great, but at least not a pin and it offsets our technical fall … PSU has won 4 matches, RU has 3 … let’s see if our hammers can make things interesting with minor upsets!

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Agreed. He comes off as a dickhead

Would’ve loved to see O’Neil catch him with an elbow to the teeth

 

[leftoright]

Announcer says "nearly full Rec Hall". Rilly?

 

[RUTrack94]

Poz holding his own after the first … Brooks scored 2 with 10 seconds left … Brooks up 2-0.

 

[RUTrack94]

Brooks needs 8 seconds for the escape … Poz almost got 2, but Brooks countered and got a takedown and is up 5-0.

 

[Leonard23]

Brooks is crazy good. Poz unable to get anything so far.

 

[RUTrack94]

Brooks rides Poz out for over a minute and is up 5-0 with riding time.

 

[RUTrack94]

Brooks is crazy good. Poz unable to get anything so far.

Poz had an amazing shot no idea how Brooks got out of it

 

[RUTrack94]

Poz with an escape … Brooks with 2 more

 

[RUTrack94]

7-1 Brooks with riding time secured .., 45 secs left

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Amazing how much quicker the PSU wrestler is. Tough to beat that kind of athleticism

 

[Leonard23]

Brooks is so fast and strong

 

[RUCrackers]

Well the score doesn't tell how hard Poz wrestled. Brooks is just that great

 

[RUTrack94]

Another escape … 7-2 .., then another 2.

Repeat of last years B1G match … 10-2 … Poz wrestled better than to lose by MD.

PSU up 19-11.

 

[ScarletGrapfan]

Alot of posters disagreed with me when I said Poz could redshirt. I think Poz can win a championship, but only after Brooks is finished. He will have 1 shot to win it if he does not redshirt, I would give him two if up to me.

 

[rufeelinit]

As the announcer said Brooks is tall and has a wide stance which makes it difficult to get at his legs.

 

[RUTrack94]

Bulsak scores with 5 seconds left …. up 4-3 after one!!!!

 

[Scarlet Craig]

That straight leg out under the other guy move looks painful. I could never wrestle. Let’s go Greg!!

 

[Leonard23]

It's really a no-brainer to RS

 

[RUTrack94]

Locked hands by Dean then an escape … 6-3 Bulsak!

 

[RUTrack94]

Takedown by Dean … Bulsak up 6-5 after 2.

 

[Leonard23]

Dean getting in on a ton of shots. Bulsak fighting off some. Would like to see him shoot

 

[RUTrack94]

Escape quickly by Dean … 6-6.

 

[RUTrack94]

Dean with a takedown up 8-6

 

[Lerxst72]

Bulsak keeps falling for that feint and leaving his left leg…

 

[RUTrack94]

Bulsak fought hard and loses 8-6

 

[Leonard23]

Bulsak battled but needs to shoot more and not just look to counter.

 

[Captain Hogleg]

Don’t know much about wrestling but we seem to be very methodical almost slow in our escape attempts.

 

[RUTrack94]

RU grabbed 3 wins tonight and wrestled hard … Poz and Bulsak showed they have a shot at Top 5

 

[rufeelinit]

I really don't get the stalling calls.

 

[mikemessner]

Any chance to win remaining matches?

Well the score doesn't tell how hard Poz wrestled. Brooks is just that great

Right now Brooks is just on another level.

 

[Scarlet Craig]

I guess we did better than expected but I still hate moral victories and I still hope a giant sinkhole opens up in State College and swallows PSU into hell. (After RU leaves of course.)

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Bulsak battled but needs to shoot more and not just look to counter.

Everything was a counter def needs to shoot. And dean was ready for the boots

 

[RUCrackers]

I thought Bulsak looked great tonight. It could go either which way with him and Dean. If he wreatles like that he'll definitely be a top-five finish at the NCA tournament. As I had mentioned previously, he's got to stop letting other wrestlers get to his legs, and and take more shots. That was my argument a couple weeks ago. Other than that there was no shame losing a close match like that to arguably the best 197-pounder in the country.

 

[Bobbynieds]

There is not much difference between Dean and Bulsak.....that was good to see.
Keep grinding and working for a podium finish

 

[Bobbynieds]

Alex Esposito.......Hmmmm.
I was wondering where he was this year

 

[RUTrack94]

RU did better than the predictions … let’s see if Esposito avoids the pin … OK with loss by TF just no pin

He was looking good up 6-3 but gave up a takedown last seconds of 2 nd turned momentum
