Also, 74 for Iowa turning out to be better than anticipated. This is going to be a tough one to predict. So many different possibilities, but you have to like the way ISU is wrestling.
Feldkamp is going to be problems!

Feldkamp is going to be problems!
I'm not shocked Arnold took out wittlake. Think Arnold is pretty good and wittlake hasn't really been the same after his sophomore season. I don't feel confident about many match-up except 184 and heavy (assuming no keuter) for us. I feel pretty good about carr, but caliendo is one tough dude. Everything else is really hard to predict. Didn't want to break the streak under these circumstances but we really need this one. Super pumped.
I like our chances to get bonus points more than them. That will be big.
According to Trackwrestling, Keuter is listed as ineligible. I’m guessing that means he hasn’t done weight certification yet but also not sure how often each team’s roster on Track is updated.
Carr will take caliendo apart. And I like caliendo. What David did today in the third period was just breaking a really, really good guy who will handle Caliendo easily.
David is a full size man at 165 this year.
Brands said at their media day that him and Ferentz have a plan that Keuter is a football player until football is over and a wrestler after that. Made a comment about how they as coaches both want it to work out because of how special of an athlete he is.
We need a win from either 125 or 133. Both are possible. I think Frost could give Teske problems
Hopefully the majority are in Cardinal and Gold
updated predictions.
125 - Terukina decision Ayala - I’ve been convinced. Terukina is wrestling very well and pushing the pace. I was concerned about Ayala’s gas tank, but not anymore. 3-0 ISU
133 - Teske dec. They’ll both bring it, and just think Teske is better right now. If Frost pulled it out I wouldn’t be shocked. 3-3
141 - Woods dec. I think AE keeps it even on the feet. Would Woods take top? If Woods gets 2 minutes on top, watch out. 6-3 Iowa
149 - Casey dec. Casey will be fired up, but needs to keep his head. He’ll need to get a couple of TDs. Voinovich has not looked great, but if he can make this a mat wrestling bout he would be favored. VV’s patch is an escape and rideout for a 2-0 win. I think Casey gets a couple of TDs to win like 6-2. 6-6
157 - Franek dec. This will be the first real test for Chittum and I think he has a legit chance. But haven’t seen enough to take him here against a proven guy. 9-6 Iowa
165 - Carr maj. Just too freaking good everywhere. I think it’s like 3 TDS, esc, and RT for an 11-3 win. Wouldn’t have been a major last year but is now. 10-9 ISU
174 - Arnold dec. I think the short stocky guys with good defense are going to be tough for MJ. Arnold is not going to get into the positions where MJ can capitalize. 12-10 Iowa
184 - Feldkamp maj. Close to picking this one for a pin. He’ll get some backs, but might not be able to get him flat. 14-12 ISU
197 - Broderson dec. Low scoring, likely a 1 td match that could go either way. 17-12 ISU
Hvy - Yonger tech. He will destroy. 22-12 ISU
125 - Terukina decision Ayala - I’ve been convinced. Terukina is wrestling very well and pushing the pace. I was concerned about Ayala’s gas tank, but not anymore. 3-0 ISU
133 - Teske dec. They’ll both bring it, and just think Teske is better right now. If Frost pulled it out I wouldn’t be shocked. 3-3
141 - Woods dec. I think AE keeps it even on the feet. Would Woods take top? If Woods gets 2 minutes on top, watch out. 6-3 Iowa

This is pretty close to what I would have. True toss up matches to me are 125, 133, 174, and 197. If we split those 2-2, I feel great about our chances.
It's hard to imagine us not getting a few bonus points at 184 and 285 which helps so much with a bunch of toss ups, much like Iowa knowing they could always bank on Spencer getting a tech/fall the past few years.
Love our guys, love our chances. Can't wait!

Remember, this win is tainted by the gambling if ISU wins, but their football win is legit.
