Good early season win for David, but also a good wake up call. Predict that ends up being a 3-4 point advantage for David in March

Robb is tough and a big 157. I need to see it in March from Robb before I think he’s a true title threat. He’s never been able to hold 157 real effectively for a full year (missed weight a few times in ‘20. If he’s put those issues behind him he’s a tough out.
Didn't see the match, but looks like Johnson with a nice MD for 3rd over Zach Price.
Robb beat Austin O'Connor handily last week. O'Connor is the defending 149 national champion. This was a very good win for David today.
Paniro is going to be good
I didn't get to see the match. From the scoreboard, he had a 5-3 lead in the 3rd before losing the TD and getting pinned at 6:44.
The other three matches today were huge wins: two techs and a major. He actually had a riding time point in one. Not sure how good the competition was, however,

Man, any time he gets riding time, I’ll take it.
Four Cyclones Claim Titles at Daktronics Open - Iowa State University Athletics
The Iowa State wrestling team officially opened the 2021-22 season Sunday, taking home four titles at the Daktronics Open.
Joel wrestled pretty well I thought. Labriola scored off if Joel's shot but he stayed in the fight. He might surprise us this year at 174 if he can manage his weight.
Just watched the Carr/Robb match (on youtube if anyone missed it) since I didn't get to watch live. Maybe some bias, but that match isn't nearly that close next time around IMO. Both takedown's by Robb were a bit weird. On counters where David almost seemed like he got off balance both times. They definitely weren't off of any of Robb's own offense or something that I'd think you worry about next time around if they meet. David won the scrambles and was in on legs far more. That's a 5-2 -ish win next time around I'd bet
Not too bad. He has an awesome fireman. Seemed a little winded in the 3rd place match, but he totally overmatched they guy. Really good on his feet.
