PSU - Ohio State 2020 Dual Thread

141: #2 Nick Lee vs. #1 Luke Pletcher (which my computer always tries to change to Fletcher, so I'm going with LP)

This should be entertaining

Per 1
Fletcher in on a single, elevates, and gets the TD before they go OOB with 2:34 left, 0-2. Lee to his feet and he's cut, 1-2. Lee reaches for a leg, nothing. Fletcher reaches, nothing. LP showing more offense than usual. LP gets a leg, but Lee breaks it, nothing. 1 min left. LP shoots a double, Lee nearly gets him with a counter, nothing. End

Per 2
LP takes bottom. He's out in 1 sec or 2, 1-3. Lee in on a single but LP kicks out. Lee in on a single, ad gets the TD after a scramble, 3-3. LP is flat. Ref seems to be telling LP to move. Stall call on LP, 4-3. End. RT @ 51 sec for Lee

Per 3
Lee takes bottom. LP cuts him, 5-3. LP shoots and gets a single, Lee sprawls and gets a single and gets behind for the TD, 7-3. Nicely done! LP is flat again, with 1 min left. LP with his feet, and is out with 5 sec, 7-4. End. With RT, it's an 8-4 DEC for Nick Lee. I guess we have a new #1 @ 141

7-3, PSU

Sasso in quickly on a low single. He sprawls, they scramble, and stopped for PD with 2:35 left. Verk with over hooks, nothing. Sassy trying to get a body lock, stalemate with 1:26 left. Verk has a low single after a scramble (from a body lock), but they go OOB with 8 sec (Sasso was in better position at the end, but Verk had the ankle) End

Per 2
Verk takes bottom. He works to his feet, and is brought back down. Sassy out on the side, looking for a cradle, and an esc just before they go OOB with 1:27 left, 1-0. Verk working underhooks, nothing. Sasso trying a body lock, OOB with 41 sec left. Sassy pushing Verk off the mat, but Verk moves to the center. Sasso with another body lock, nothing. End

Per 3
Sasso takes bottom. Sassy to his feet, taken back down. Back to his feet, and he's out in 10 sec, 1-1. Sasso with another body lock, and Verk breaks it. On the edge, and OOB with 1:02 left. Sasso in on a low single, Verk spins around and grabs both ankles, and a stalemate with 36 sec left. Sasso shoots and gets a single, Verk with a whizzer, tries to work through a scramble, and a stalemate with 4 sec left. End. RT not a factor

SV-1
Both working the head;. Verk tried a duck,nothing. Sasso with a counter to a single and gets the TD with 4 sec left, for a 3-1 DEC for Sasso. Nice effort by Verk

7-6, PSU

6-6 no major earlier
 
No wonder all the Iowa fans were mad about Sasso vs. Lugo. That kid doesn't shoot at all if he can help it. I hate that crap!
 
Verkleeren wrestled a good bout for 7 minutes. But these match endings are becoming predictable for him He keeps it close with solid (even great) opponents and then gives up the TD in OT. Don't know if it is related to insulin or something else
 
Sasso is very savvy defensively. He relies on that a lot to win close matches. He keeps chugging along winning the close ones.
 
Verk is the king of the heartbreakingly close losses. In SV they need to coach him to let it fly. Two matches in a row he’s got beaten to the punch. A big win would do wonders for his confidence
