Select Matches: Penn State at Iowa | Big Ten Wrestling | Feb. 9, 2024 

I hope they never leave! Literally the best for the culture of wrestling!!!

I'd rather listen to Ironhead Byers every time

Indubidubly 🙂

@@Joeblow-ms3cvindubitably*

His motor doesn't stop. He makes it fun to watch.

It look like he never get tired CRAZY

Hard to wrestle a guy like him.

Oh, no kidding? I thought it would be easy to wrestle an undefeated D1 Penn State wrestler with an endless gas tank…. Come on. Some comments just don’t need to be said.

Relentless! Reminds me of Zane Retherford.

I’m a PS fan, and Brands really gets on my nerves, but he has a right to want toughness and consistency from his kids. PS is just on another level.

The US wins many international competitions on grit and fitness but I agree, the technique has be there.

I still can't believe Spencer Lee chose Iowa over Penn State.

@@CarolinaBlood704I mean, we saw what he did after losing last year in the semis. Zero chance Cael lets that happen.

@@CarolinaBlood704125lbs curse

AB was toying with him the whole match barely. Barely broke a sweat. Glazier is lucky AB was feeling nice. 😂

What year is glazier?

AB wasn't toying with anyone. He doesn't do that garbage. Hes always trying to go for the major, tech or fall. That's extremely disrespectful to him, and the, at the time, 16-0 Glazier. AB struggled a bit the first period until he figured him out. Glazier did a great job. People just don't realize how great this Penn State team is. Best team to come along in 50 years, with many experts debating "all-time," or not. My point is this...these wrestlers definitely make it look easy at times, but they arent out their taking unnecessary risks. They're just that damn good. Cael coaches then to work hard, smart and be humble...you could see that when kerkvliet talked with Iowa super phenom freshman Ben kueter after the match, whispering "your time is coming," with his arm around Kueter's back. Total class! When Rathejen (possible spelling error) beat Penn State in SV, Cael stood up clapping with a smile on his face. He was applauding a great match between two guys who really went at it.

Jennifercunningham Very well put.

@@jennifercunningham9159I think it's just in their preparation in between matches that makes them far and away winners. I think the missing link for them repeating this year in 2024 season is going to be Tyler Kasak. He'll have to be able to give PSU some bonus point wins in consolation and in the NCAA tournament.

"We've got to be better!"

"Heres the thing.....we got work to do. We got to be ready."

Pretty sure brands doesn’t interview after losses

Dealing with horses while Cale is dealing with futuristic EV roadsters 😅

Probably won't be able to beat him again. Tyler's real young and hasn't had a whole lot of time because of injury bug this year, but he'll get it back soon. I hope.

The overall beat down was expected. Barlett handling Woods was not, inspite of Woods getting dominated the week before.

@@combatspeed6392meh. It’s pretty typical for Iowa guys to regress while Penn State guys tend to progress. Woods is doing the same thing Eierman did.

@jomama969 i agree with you, but my point is still most favored Woods over Barlett. Heck most exepected Bartlett to lose Mendes the preiovus week as well.

@jomama969 and the list is mich longer than just Eirman. Iowa gets studs that performce great as freshmen.. and fizzle out by senior year.. ie Spencer Lee.

@@combatspeed6392lol brutal 😅👍

Yeah I agree even in freestyle if you do that they will caution you. Granted it’s important to not allow a ref to influence a match Braden needed to do just a bit more but it is hard when the other guy isn’t doing anything either so maybe a double stall

What is Braden to do he can't shoot he's pushing the pace iowa wrestler just keeps backing up on a knee ref needed to hit several stalling calls make him stand up and wrestle that's the first time iowa wrestler done that usually he's attacking he's a good wrestler but in that match he dropped to a knee didn't engage at all for 90 percent of that match im sure coach cael will address that to refs next time bet if iowa wrestler does it again he will get hit with stalling calls just my opinion

Refereeing in this league has been horrible all year. 125 was a great example. I'm a psu fan, but Davis lost last week vs Ohio state. My point is it's going to cost someone a title along the way.

Yea I agree last week was questionable call but you do have reaction time tho if ref called it the other way you couldn't argue with it win some lose some close calls but 125 this week was completely stalling on iowa

You could have watched it live.

Horrible horrible idea

I know you just want to reward top wrestling more which is great but also just promotes a boring product so no. Although riding someone for 5 minutes should give you 5 points vs ending the match 1-0 or 2-0 too boring though

Yeah he must have forgot what came after 4

100% This is why guys choose Penn State. To max their potential.

🎯Or look at Franek. He has got worse since transferring to Iowa…Iowa doesn’t seem to make people better wrestlers

@@PrincessKait207you gotta remember though it takes a SPECIAL kind of person to thrive in the big ten. Iron doesn’t always sharpen iron. You gotta sometimes have confidence boosters and beat someone worse than you down

Yeah, you would think all that yelling that coach brands does during the match would make them better.😝

Nah woods looks way off from last year. That's obvious even if you take out the Bartlett and Lemely match. I'm hoping that they clear up whatever the issue is by nationals because I'd really like to see him win a title.

riggins is not the caliber truax is and it’s was barely a major if arnold wrestled he probably would’ve won

@@mattcary8075Bernie was chilling he would do the Same to twitter fingers Gabe

Ayala may have a rule named after him next yr when they say you can't wrestle from neutral in one knee

@@mattcary8075 'Iffa, couldda, and woodda' yada, yada, and yada.

@@mattcary8075 Arnold would have got ripped if he wrestles

Keep your eye on RU-vid. It will be on soon. It will also be replayed at some point on the Big Ten net work so everybody can see the beat down .

Two very very different styles. I'm not saying one is better than the other... just different.

😂😂😂 He horrible!!!!

@@PrincessKait207 ssshhhhh don’t tell Iowa fans that we want to keep brands there

I suspect he went through an injury over the offseason and lost mass, hence why he's also underperforomed in all his matches.

Weight cut probably. Hard to maintain that weight for years

@@RodrigoSilva-qx2ol That usually comes down to a diet issue

No it's just that Bartlett wrestled 160 in high school, then 149 last year, now he's at 141. Bartlett is just bigger than woods

Woods becoming little girly man. Lost TWO IN A ROW

I said the same thing. Giving in to Carver Hawkeye arena’s demands there… 🙄

How bout locked hands on Starocci? Ridiculous!! With a review no less

@@j.r.dewyer7163how about that take down against davis last weekend that was reviewed and lost how about brooks not attempting anything on top for 3 minutes straight it goes both ways every sniffle duel

My coach always taught me GRAB THE LEGS. Or get hand control. Also, whizzer & spladdles, cement mixer. TONS of moves!!! The wrestlers need proper motivation tho & Brands isn’t motivating them 🥲

Why did he move up?

Don’t want to take anything away from him,but keep in mind that Penn States backup took it to SV. Then again some of their back ups are better than other teams starters.

@@joegreen9629He did. Tyler hasn't wrestled well since before Michigan dual because he's always hurt from something. I'd like to see Kasak not hurt and wrestle him again when he's not so beat up. Tehn again Starocci also looks beat up but he also goes out and destroys guys.

I don't see that happening. PSU on the other hand I could see having guys from 125 all the way to heavyweight who could make the semis and half of them to make the finals. I'm unsure about Levi Haines right now, but he just whooped the #3 guy so who knows.

They are projected to possibly break the record for winning margin this year which is around 73 or so I think.

I think I said that wrong in the 1st comment. YOU must bet that Penn St. will win by at least 100 points or more and I say they will not. Yes, this is meant to be a joke, but this team is something else !!!

Please, demonstrate for us. I’ll wait.

what do u mean he had both legs trapped multiple times that’s a takedown every single time

Buddy, he had both legs wrapped up and PSU guy was facing away from him…that’s the easiest takedown in the world to call. He literally wasn’t moving…how much “reaction time” do you need?

Who TF thought that? I’ve said for 2 months I’d be shocked if they won more than 2 matches

Literally no one thought they had a chance. It was extremely difficult to fine 1 or 2 weights that would favor Iowa….

@@michaelscott33 one or two? Seriously? Iowa won almost THREE matches. Could have won 5 or 6 if the final score would have been different. You are a casual.. 🤷‍♂️

@@lordhegamonster6931 no sir you are the casual Iowa had a better chance of losing all matches than winning the dual besides the 2 they won what are the 5 or 6 matches they could’ve won lol Iowa had more stall calls than takedowns as a team

@@npierce14 Iowa could have EASILY won 141, 149, & 197. Then it’s basically 5 wins each & a toss up. Dual could have gone either way. I wrestled in college so know what I’m talking about 🤷‍♂️

I will comment but no like for you, sorry 🤷‍♂️

Ferrari beat Ferrari.

Won’t happen, he’s scared

You’ve never wrestled in your life I see

@@luckyrice672 He would pin you in like 8 seconds. Did you not read all the moves? He knows all of them, memorized

@@lordhegamonster6931I’m sure the man in the elderly home will pin me

@@lordhegamonster6931Lol. Pretty good moves if you can actually convert and hit them.

Another 'iffa yada'

Ferrari is a clown. Him only having half a brain might keep him off the podium. All that talent, it’s a shame. Doubtful that anyone is stopping Brooks that’s why he’s a 3x Ncaa champ. It’s really a fine line between #1 and #20. There’s always going to be close matches. Brooks congratulated dude for putting up a good fight. Come Nationals Brooks and the rest of PSU will be more prepared than anyone. History proves that. And when it all comes down to it, the national tournament is what it’s all about.

True.

That jabroni only beats his meat.

So this is what it’s like to be delusional, good to know

After this season, Brooks will be a four time NCAA champ .right nowThere’s only five guys that have ever done that .do your homework !

@@joegreen9629 because AJ is not wrestling.

@@x2dab184You're actually wrong, AJ would have maybe 20% of a chance of beating Brooks at Brooks' best, but even at his worst he'd be sure making AJ work for that win.
