Man TW can’t get it done. Drops a 4-3 decision to Smith from OhSt.

Poor awareness at the end of the second to give up the TD and then not a lot of “want to” in the 3rd to get a TD.

 

[lincolnhs]

Ouch!!! Wittake loses to smith...1st time in the NCAA's...I think he'll struggle to AA IMO. I know he got punished for losing in the big XII's, but he really did get a nice draw "on paper".

 

[osudog]

He looked slow and gassed

 

[topc22blue]

That said he needs to finish shots

He looked slow and gassed

bad bad. Expected him to win that match.

 

[100TonsofOrangeFury]

He looked slow and gassed

I'd say he looked more perplexed about how to attack a bigger, stronger guy that defended well.

 

[turfpoke]

Tough to win matches when you don't get any offense going. I will never understand why guys just can't pull the trigger. Sometimes the perfect shot isn't there, just have to make something happen.

 

[driad]

Anybody know if Skidgel from Navy is related to the Skidgel from Oklahoma that wrestled yrs ago?

 

[skylinepoke]

Witlake has not been aggressive this year. Until he learns to be the aggressor, he will not have the he career that he hoped to have.

 

[Rdcldad]

He looked slow and gassed

failure to initiate any offense will keep you from winning same as giving up points defensively

i hope he can improve from this match

 

[On Tulsa Time]

Embarrassing bad

 

[osu2082]

Witlake has not been aggressive this year. Until he learns to be the aggressor, he will not have the he career that he hoped to have.

It’s tough because he was really on a roll last year heading into the NCAA’s. Was firing on all cylinders. Short season, little injury and just never really got rolling.

He isn’t alone in that. It’s a free year and he is a young and talented kid who will get better.

Plott coming up on Mat 8

 

[OHkie]

Wittlake and Plott getting moved around the mat, other teams have much heavier hands.

 

[CowboyMedic]

Plott gave up his legs too much.

 

[osu2082]

And then you have Plott. A true FR out there with one arm going toe to toe with the #2 seed. Good effort from a tough kid.

He gets healthy and he will be a force.

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Plott getting ready to go down. He didn’t look competitive at the end. Of course, it was against the No. 2 seed. Final was 11-5.

 

[OHkie]

Mantanona gets pinned and his tournament is over!

 

[lincolnhs]

This year is a wash.....if we finish in the top 10...that's an accomplishment in itself despite the majority of our lineup dealing with injuries.

 

[skylinepoke]

Plott has the heaviest feet. He could use ballet lessons to help his balance.

 

[duke-of-earl]

Uninformed opinion checking in, we need a new strength/conditioning coach.

 

[osu2082]

Plott getting ready to go down. He didn’t look competitive. Of course, it was against the No. 2 seed. Final was 11-5.

He was down 1 point in the third and in deep on a TD that would of given him the lead. Then gassed a bit but that was very competitive until the last 60 seconds.

 

[SUPERPOKES]

Makes sense. I saw the third period when he looked like he was done.

 

[100TonsofOrangeFury]

Plott getting ready to go down. He didn’t look competitive at the end. Of course, it was against the No. 2 seed. Final was 11-5.

He was gassed, hand it to the other guy for being older and with two sound shoulders. But he wasn't uncompetitive.

 

[Inky29]

Romero is quick. I'm encourage with how Plott competes. Dude hasn't been the same since he dislocated his shoulder.

Some of that is due to our age. Difficult for freshmen and sophomores to manhandle juniors and seniors.

 

[cowboy79]

Geer up next on mat 8

 

[turfpoke]

Unless they are on the AJ Ferrari workout schedule.

 

[cowboy79]

It’s been kind of cool watching the ESPN+ multi view with all the mats. At a minimum it’s easy to see when our wrestlers are coming up. Also to see who to root against!

 

[OHkie]

Hopefully the ghost of Josh Heil is done haunting us this session.

 

[BrettOSU17]

Plott impressed the hell out of me. Kid has a future.

 

[CowboyMedic]

It is great. ESPN finally wised up and realized that we might like to watch all the mats at the same time.

 

[lincolnhs]

Some of our wrestlers look flat out gassed

 

[osu2082]

Geer comes up short. Loses to the 6 seed. 7-3 and gets ridden the 3rd period.

We couldn’t turn one upset tonight which stinks. AJ coming up on 6.

 

[driad]

Someone needs to tell Geer driving your head into the mat is not the way to escape.

 

[CowboyMedic]

Geer ridden the entire third period. SMH

 

[cowboy79]

Geer was aggressive in the first two rounds but just not quite good enough.

Ferrari up next on mat 6

 

[topc22blue]

Geer comes up short. Loses to the 6 seed. 7-3 and gets ridden the 3rd period.

We couldn’t turn one upset tonight which stinks. AJ coming up on 6.

Pathetic. Can’t counter takedowns and can’t finish them. Expected better from wittlake and geer

 

[turfpoke]

I like the effort from Geer, he just isn’t strong enough.

 

[OHkie]

Buchanan just pinned Adam’s for his 4th win over him this year

 

[osu2082]

AJ is just so damn strong when he gets his hands on you. He is also damn flexible.

Beats a very talented wrestler in Sloan 5-0 with over 2:30 of riding time. Rides him out the entire 3rd.
