yeah, what happened? terrible timing for laying an egg.

Even worse after last weeks loss at Cornell. Wrestling is a weird sport sometimes teams just come out and look like shite. Iowa did the same vs Michigan on Friday. Here is my quick breakdown
125-Surtin lost in OT in a close match, that weight class has been wild all year
133-Forfeited to OSU. No idea were Moore was. This was huge as OSU sent out a JV guy to take it and bumped Fix to 141.
141-Edmond lost to Fix 2-1 on a shitty stall call.
at this point being down 12-0 was huge and not having a wrestler for 133 allowed Fix to jump up and win a match.
149-Gioffre was out #11 kid so JV kid went in and got beat by #22 ranked kid.
15-0 Having Moore and Gioffre out screwed the dual but frankly it can not be blamed on that as Mizzou wrestled horribly.
157-#8 Mauller kist #15 kid 4-2 but looked like shite
165-#1 O'Toole was a solid 5-1 match vs #3 kid
174 #5 Mocco gets beat by #29 kid, looked horrible
184-#11 Whiting lost decision but was domninated by #2 kid
197-#8 Rocky majors OSU backup for a major
285-#5 Zach beats #9 guy 1-0

It started with a tough loss @125 then spiraled out of cotrol with the forfeit, Fix bumbin up and then a backup lossing a match at 149. right then it was done but then the eggs laid by Mauller and Mocco turned a loss into an embarrasing loss. Better get their act together as #4 Iowa St, #10 South Dakota St and a ranked Northern Iowa is coming up in the next couple of weeks.
