Nebraska Ryan Crookham at 133 situation here scramble mode Bailey up and over and then we just had a blast shot there by by Hardy but real woods kind of Wiggles his way out of it real woods is still in control here but now he gets his one for an escape loss of [Applause]

Control and now real woods is in on the shot real woods continues to wrestle through all positions and now he gets the taked down four to three first period I like [Applause] It one thing I saw about croan he does a shot to his opponent’s right leg it’s like a sweep single but as soon as it head is on the inside when his opponent starts to square up he puts his head to the outside to make it like a a high a high

Seat and fouls it that way with the trajectory of these two kids and Bailey and Crookham they may be in the National Finals at some point in their career Bailey’s going to have to dial up his offense third period down four comes in on that straight double tried to switch it to

That outside single but Kirkham gets out of the way meanwhile on the left hardi and woods tied up shoulder Tosh shoulder here the seat Bel position Woods trying to work his way [Applause] up and it’s 44 Nebraska Iowa Nebraska starting the day with five wrestlers in this metal round oh take that but not enough is he going to get the Tilt yeah he’s trying cross he yeah and keep that foot inside he knows where he’s at he can get it off the mat as long as he keeps his

Foot oh the future is bright for these mid Majors brookham third place number two seed obviously he wanted to be wrestling tonight but I mean to be a freshman to get third place that’s fantastic and and Bailey first All American for Little Rock along with his teammate Steven little Ryan

Crookham grew up in the state of Pennsylvania moved to Lehigh Valley just for the sole purpose of wrestling the best competition the opportunity to wrestle for Lehi entire family moved to Lehi strictly for wrestling in sixth grade he told us he referred to it as the dagistan of wrestling you sure

Did lots of things going on with Woods yeah great scramble there Woods is in Hardy does a nice job of getting those hips [Applause] out noo has one clean minute of riding time neither of these guys expected to be in the All-American part but that’s

125 it was crazy the talk of the season and uh the wrestling this week has exceeded our expectations for chaos hasn’t it you look at the regular season seven different wrestlers are ranked number one at 125 you could have made a lot of different elevator speeches for a lot of

Different wrestlers as far as why they could have earned and walked away with a national championship Noto looking to get that whistle and steal mate that’s what he does see Barnett look over at his Wisconsin Corner go time here in the battle for third at 125 woods and Hardy still locked in a

Tight one not a lot of time here for Woods to finish and he will run out of time that was [Applause] close and Barnett he can find a take down he’s going to wipe out the riding time right so a taked down is all he needs here to force a sudden

Victory he’s got to keep shooting here he just can’t push he’s got to shoot he’s got to do something trust try something doesn’t matter this has not been where Barnett wants to be and so uh no do sitting defensively and going to win this thing and get third Matt toown Baby Lock Haven

Allamerican third place Anthony Notto had a fourth place finish last year and proved from last year to take third [Applause] place to time allamerican started his career spent one year at North Carolina State closes out with loave and backto back all American showings and a good one here with woods and Hardy as

Expected as we hit the home stretch 60 seconds Woods by one Hardy comes in with some offense near the edge but out of bounds they go under one minute looks like this is going to be a dog fight for to stay in always is between these guys in the

Nebraska Iowa rivalry border War every year oh did he get the take down he stepping over the arm who he Does 31 seconds left reversal escape and then a Tak down lots of things has to happen not just in this match every point counts towards those coveted trophies Iowa sitting in fourth place only three points out of second place Woods wins they’re in second place he’s got to get his hips away good

Job by Hardy’s just going to stay hip to hip staying tight and now you just suck down and take the stall call he’ll take the stall call all day got to keep that shoulder underneath he’s trying to hit the Cradle but it looks like not enough 3

Seconds in that situation right there it looked like a lots was going on but the whole time the officials said that Hardy never lost control so why it looked like they were in a neutral position Hardy was always in the control position and that’s why you see now there’s a brick

So a brick a challenge and I’m assuming that they’re going to challenge to see if there was a loss of control but we’ll figure that out let’s go back to the offense this is what allowed Hardy to grab the lead late you just keep going he sprawled and then he just went

Forward kept driving that was not a move he popped his hips many times when someone shoots in on you you have two options either sprawl to get your hips away or you bump in and when he bumped in real woods lost his balance and Hardy kept going yeah putting yourself in a

Wrestling position and figure it out that’s why you talk about it rock genten you got to keep wrestling so we understand that the challenge that the brick was thror for Iowa was for a reversal that they thought they should have gotten video Rie the call MAT confirmed

No no reversal no reversal as we heard there is no reversal Yep the whole time hard was in control escaped by real woods but it’s not enough 76 for Nebraska back to back all American showings for Brock Hardy six the year ago third and he takes down real woods of Iowa and the strong following from Lincoln Nebraska continues to pick up
