Having seen a replay, my gut inclination is that RBY probably did earn a brief takedown on DeSanto
But it was a very, very close call. If there was control by RBY, it was no more than a second. And I don't see any reason to RAGE at the officials. I would hate to have to make that call.
I've said elsewhere that I'd like for someone besides the ref to review the calls. On the other hand, a review from "upstairs" didn't help PSU in the infamous 2014 football game with Ohio State!
With that said, I didn't really understand what one gentleman, a writer at Onward State, had to say about DeSanto showing his "usual antics" in this match. Huh? What did he do wrong? He ran back to the center after RBY hit his head, and that's, by the rules, exactly what DeSanto should have done. And they patted each other on the back and shook hands at the end, so there's seemingly no bad blood between them.
I thought both wrestlers were both respectable and VERY intense, and I'd love to see more such action as we go!
