Penn State vs Iowa Dual

I don’t know. I agree he was stuck, but it looked to me like his knee gave out pretty abruptly there. So I think there is at least a sprain of that knee.
I don't doubt that, but see what Tom Brands said (roughly at 5:00+ on the video above): if we could have calmed him down, he might have got back in the match.
Concerning Desanto, I was surprised that the match got stopped twice with RBY having a cradle almost locked up and Desanto was going to his back. I understand he screamed out, but it saved his butt. I didn't think anything was potentially dangerous concerning the knee.
Also listening to Tom Brands say that Desanto has never dealt with an injury before and probably could have continued is interesting.

Think about if Iowa had rolled Eierman out there. Happel is light years behind Murin, and Eierman is far better than Murin (IMO).
With all the much deserved attention being given to 133, 165 and 174, I also thought 184 was a great match. Brooks is a stud, but so is Assad. That could be a great budding rivalry.
If I’m an Iowa fan, I’d be a little disappointed with 149 and 157. Yeah, they got wins there, but I think they probably should have expected a few more points at those weights.
Was reading on Hawk Report and it was mentioned how RBY grabbed the toe and pulled it out and that is illegal. If true, okay, but I have seen knees that appear to be at a lot worse positions than anything RBY put on Desanto.
Interesting there are five pages of this blog devoted to IOWA wrestling. Next up for the 5-4 Cyclones: Fresno State. Ho hum.
If you love wrestling as a sport, which I do. I was very entertained by this dual.
I go to Nationals for 2 reasons, watch my Cyclones and good wrestling.
You'd have to be a wrestling fan to understand.
Obviously not a wrestling or Cyclone fan or he would have known ISU beat Fresno State 34-9 last night.
Reader is at Wisconsin with Bono. Varner is at Penn State with Cael
I don't think Reader was ever associated with Penn State.
Varner, Sanderson boys, and Fanthorpe(sp) were with PSU
