Iowa over Columbia 38-3

I like how BTN has been doing the “highlight” videos this year by mostly showing scoring sequences (as opposed to last year they would just pick the 4 or 5 best matches and show their entirety).

 

Ayala looked pretty good teching Babin.

Franek continues to have relatively close wins over guys that other people have bonused.  The Columbia guy was actually teched by low scoring Will Lewan.   Franek does not yet have a bonus victory this season over a D1 opponent.

Highlight for Iowa was probably Schriever with a SV win over Angelo Rini.  133 starter probably not yet decided.  Schriever did also confirm he had been suspended for gambling.

Columbia has now dualed Ohio State, Michigan, and Iowa as well as going to the CKLV. That’s insane for a team like that at this time of year. Props to them.

Better get used to Franek wrestling that way. That’s who he is.

He had several bonus victories last season.  But looks like probably only one against someone that qualified for NCAA’s.  I was mostly just shocked he had a close match even with someone that Lewan teched, as Lewan has mostly close matches too.

He’s had some this year too.  All against far inferior opponents.  Again, that’s who he is.  Hes not great on top which limits the amount of turns he goes for or gets.  Methodical, calculated, Picks and chooses his spots erroring on the side of caution

None against a D1 opponent this year. Last year he did.

Last yr he wrestled 40 matches. This year he’s wrestled 5 against d1 competition. He’ll get some this year against the lesser wrestlers that he faces but it won’t be many.  Ly he didn’t get his first bonus victory until the week before xmas.

No kidding. Kinda of a gauntlet to begin the season. Should pay dividends later on

Yes I was agreeing with your overall point that it seems Iowa fans shouldn’t expect any bonus from Franek at NCAA’s.  But would’ve thought he could’ve had a couple already
