OSU at Air Force

Starters looked extremely dominant. If we’d have had all 10 starters it would have been in the range of 40 something to nothing. The match started with Dee Lockett who got the pin. The 5 heavier weight matches were all starters and all bonus point wins. Doucet continues to look like the most improved wrestler in the country. We wrestled all backups at the 5 lighter weights and it was a struggle, losing two of the matches. Two things were obvious, first that our starters are elite and can wrestle with anyone and second was that the biggest difference in us and Penn State is the dramatic dropoff from our starters to our second string. PSU’s second string are largely plug n play while ours are a drastic dropoff in talent. With next years recruiting class that should change that depth issue, but for this year our end result depends heavily on starters staying healthy!
