Someone requested this excellent customer service

I don’t want to like this because it’s a funny number

That was not two at the end

People don’t realize how much momentum is gained or lost by whether you get a takedown at the end of a period or GET taken down at the end of a period. That’s a 3 point swing in under 10 match seconds because of the no takedown call, in Nolf’s favor.

Was def 2 for Hidlay but I don’t think we can say who’d win if Nolf was down 2-0. Not saying nolf would win but the match would have been different and it was anyone’s match. Some people wrestle better when theyre behind and push the pace.

Yeah, there was still a lot of wrestling to do... so cant say how it would have affected the match outcome. Still, though the ref had replay and still got it wrong (IMO). If it were 2, maybe Nolf responds, BUT maybe Hidlay responds too and is even more motivated...who knows. Shame it had to have that controversy

@@avidadolares it’s a major swing in points, momentum and mentality. The match would be very different, regardless of the winner.

I can dig it. I agree the refs messed things up. As well as the fact that Nolf was a one of a kind monster out there

I agree as well one of the best 3x ever butttttt that one call at the end of the first period doesn’t define the end of the match, probably would have been a little different of a match but that doesn’t mean he would have automatically won the match if that call went his way.

They sure did. Twice

Nolf would’ve just got back up and took him down again

He lost because nolf was the better wrestler

Yup.. Even Nolf was surprised he (Hidlay) lost this one.

@@DB-115 if hidlay gets the takedown I’m sure nolf responds

@@dejo5009 I agree, people take a bad call and add x amount of points to the final score. Nolf certainly wouldn't have been as passive in the last period if Hayden was awarded the TD. But it still hurts to see this happen to Hayden, would've liked to see how this match would've played out if it had been a correct call.

@@dejo5009 yeah ok

More to come!

You’re whole family are legends on the mat. Even Jim lol.

Noted!

@@NCAAChampionships u a g

Started slow. Ended on a tear, but then this match happened. He would’ve rolled through Berger in the Final.

Thanks for the request, Lexington. We'll be looking into it.

At least let them wrestle then and decide it with wrestling and not bad calls like this. No one wants to lose (or win) on a refs judgement call.

Oh yeh same I feel you. Very close call. Nolf was on the mat and it was 2. In Hs that would be difficult to determine 2 but in college that’s 1k% two and Hayden did get robbed but unless he watched film and can overpower Berger he would’ve had a good tough losing effort with Berger. Nolf I think coulda escaped and get one point in less than 4 seconds

Absolutely

kinda discounting hidlay with this comment

Yea I hate penn state but I don’t think it was a takedown I’m not sure the knee was down when control was established

when they change a call on the mat, the time elapsed becomes dead time & is re-wrestled. It was definitely two IMO, but I'm just explaining why the time was put back on the clock.

@@JaJuanBurrell thanks

I would guess that you're not either. Have you ever wrestled at the NCAA championship level?? I'm thinking no. Dude is a class act. Just watch his interview at the NCAAs this year where he mentions his brother.

you can say that, but it also works the other way. Hayden goes up 2-0 against a dude thought to be unbeatable, that does LOADS for your confidence in later periods

Psu jobber

Nolf didn’t touch the mat with his hand but it should of been a takedown I think

@@captainamericaamerica8090 i think bo knows wrestling.

@@bojordan1536 at 3:04 nolf is on a hip with hidlay covering, nolf is in the process of standing up, but appears to be pushing off the mat with his right hand. if they are already scrambling on the ground, is there reaction time? or did they not award a takedown because hidlay only controlled nolf's left leg? also there are 3 seconds left at that point. when they re-started they put 4 seconds on the clock. the conspiracy theorist in me says, they knew when there were 3 seconds left, it was a takedown, so they had to go back to the point before that so as not to award hidlay points.

@@bojordan1536 Nolf is clearly using his right hand/arm to get up off the mat, while Hidlay is covering him.

@@bojordan1536 his hand is clearly touching the mat

nah not full control

@@davenwood5915 in college there is no reaction time. I have seen that called 2 almost every time

You right

Gave same takedown to bold it’s bs he would’ve won

Looking at it frame by frame I can see it not being a takedown by a split second. The instant Hidlay's arm was around to take control, Nolf's hip had just left the mat. That said, I don't think it should have been enough to overturn the call on the mat. They weren't even responding to a challenge brick.

3:05

Nolf is clearly down, with Hidlay covering him. Watch Nolf use his right hand/arm to get off the mat.

@@Dewyud seriously that freeze frame is obviously a takedown

The takedown in the first is the blown call, with 2 seconds left
