Notes from IU vs Northwestern

 

157

Walsh looks really confident but he isn't going to be able to be as defensively lazy in the neutral position at BIG10's or NCAA's and expect to AA.

 

165

Leblanc does not control ties well and is not a good handfighter. He seems to have a great deal of potential but doesn't wrestle with any kind of intensity.

 

174

Jackson is talented and slick but can't handle the weight class. He was easily overpowered by Munster. He creates good action with his movement but just can't finish due to being overpowered.

 

184

Sheridan hits a lot of straight on shots. He's OK in the ties but does not create action or angles very well which seems to be a theme for the entire team. He rode out Berkowitz in the 2nd period but never threatened to turn him. Quick reversal off bottom then gave up a reversal with sloppy leg riding. 

 

197

Goldman hits nice high single but can't finish. Then he basically turned his back in an under/over and gave up the TD. Looks like he may be nursing the shoulder. Polizzi dominated on top with a high thigh ride and turned him twice in the 2nd. Then he gave up an easy reversal in the first 10 seconds of the 3rd. Same high thigh ride and got turned and teched. Got beat up and outwrestled by Polizzi. 

 

285

Chalfant is a savage. He moves well and moves his opponents well for a heavyweight. Nice double. nice lift for backs, nice scrambling. Seemed to gas a little late in the 2nd. Chose down in the 3rd. McMullan cuts and Chalfant went right to another nice double and finished. Nice sweep single but can't finish. Solid win and a good statement match to start the BIG10 season. More production and effort from the heavyweight than Sheridan and LeBlanc combined.

 

125

Duca hurt his knee warming up? Couldn't have wrestled Shepherd or someone else? Forfeit puts NW up 17-12

 

133

Caton hit a nice go behind for the TD to start the 1st then gives up and easy escape. Seems a little flat footed. Get's taken down and hammered for the rest of the 1st. Malone chose down and got right to his feet and out. Caton hangs in the ties and wrestles flat footed and get's easily and repeatedly taken down by Malone. Chooses down and get's hammered again barely ever getting a knee up. Caton is a gamer and I think will eventually be a solid starer but he got owned by Malone.

 

141

No Raley to start the BIG10 season? Springer gets the nod. He flashed some talent but he's not ready for the BIG10 yet. I think this kid could be really good in a couple years. Having Weaver, Springer, Schafer and Raley going at it every day is a good situation for the next few years.

 

149

Roach moves and handfights well but gives up the TD. Tsirtsis kept him flat, legged him and hooked up a bar. 2-0 with RT after 1st. Tsirtsis chose down got away quick and hit a nice redip HC for another TD. Roach does a good job working angles but gives up another TD to end the 2nd. Roach chose down to start 3rd and got the escape, but Tsirtsis poured it on taking him down again and turning him with a turk. Roach came close to a TD with a nice reshot but couldn't finish. Tsirtsis too much for him 17-4 major.

 

NW 27 IU 12

 

 

 

[TIME]

Hard to watch Roach get beat down. NW was way to much for IU.

Hard to watch Roach get beat down. NW was way to much for IU.

With Duca and Raley in the lineup it would have been a lot closer I think.
