Which PSU wrestlers have done worse at Nationals than in the B10s?

I'm always amazed at Cael's ability to get his team to peak at nationals.  In recent years it seems PSU always performs better in the NCAA finals than they do in the B10s.  I'm not sure Kerkvliet can beat Parris, but I would not be shocked to see him wrestle completely differently in 2 weeks.  Dean is always going to have close, boring matches and will always be in contention.   Robb, and the rest of the field will be better prepared for Haines, I don't expect him to win the Natty, but obviously has enough talent to do so.

I was trying to think of a PSU wrestler who significantly under performed at nationals.  I'm not talking about Taylor losing close matches to Dake or a 4 seed losing to a 1. But someone who easily won the B10, then lost to the same guy 2 weeks later.   I'm sure there are some, but none are coming to mind.

Forgot about Hall's loss to Valencia.  Did Shakur win the B10s?  It felt like his whole career was an underachievement, based upon his potential.
