I remember in college seeing a few students return a hard math exam, one that took most of us three hours to finish, after ten minutes. They weren't prepared and decided to call it in. That's what Desanto did. For the people who think otherwise, they should know that Brands said that he could have finished the match.

"I can't go". Coach Brands- "What? Are you quitting"? 5:41 Coach Brands (holding the staff back) "Stay back let him quit". DeSanto immediately stands and fake staggers to the center.

I feel like Desanto was embellishing the knee injury. He was moving fine except when he was walking back to the middle and that kind of looked contrived. He was screaming out because he was about to get stuck. I’m not saying the first time he didn’t tweak it, but this is d1 wrestling. Yianni won a National title with torn ACL!

@@bryandeege9061 I agree that desanto is a punk, but don't sully brands' name dude. He's one of the best coaches in wrestling and he definitely doesn't teach his wrestlers to do that. He actually called desanto out in a press conference saying he could've finished the match.

[@bryandeege9061]

Cade Stone Brands and Desanto are made for each other...Brands only concern is winning and has no problem taking the low road to get there. It’s why he recruits guys like Desanto and puts up with guys like Gilman. He is a great wrestling teacher and motivator, but a man of character he is not. If you want to see an example of a great coach and a great leader, look about 20 miles north.

[@BossCat42]

The only thing DeSanto injured was his pride. RBY showed up to win and was putting DeSanto on his back when Austin faked an injury, twice in the same period.

[@steventhury8366]

It appears to me that DeSanto was not prepared for this match, and quickly realized he was outgunned. He seemed to be over dramatic about his "injury". I hope he bounces back though.

[@willtoler6917]

I agree and if people were defined by their weakest moments nobody would even be. He is a strong wrestler and a strong character, I hope to see his future well

[@BossCat42]

Will Toler I disagree. Someone w/ strong character doesn’t fake an injury to avoid being pinned. RBY had DeSanto’s number and was about to finish him, twice. He knew he was going to his back and the real injury was to his pride, not his knee.

[@frasert8779]

The reason it upsets me though is how he opted out, robbing RBY of a well deserved and conclusive victory and being able to claim it was due to an “Injury”... that’s far from commendable imo

I'm not saying RBY did anything wrong or defending DeSanto at all, but everyone saying he is mentally weak has never had a knee injury. I tore my LCL in both knees on two different occasions last year and it is one of the worst pains you will ever feel. I don't think DeSanto would've won the match, but a knee injury is not something to overlook.

[@brandonbenner7073]

How did he hurt his knee getting cradle up?

[@DesertEagle4451]

Brandon Benner to me it looked like he originally pulled the leg out to the side at the knee, and it went more “out” than “over” when RBY turned his leg into him for the cradle. Whether that was enough to injure somebody or not, I don’t know but I don’t think it’s unreasonable

[@snowsamuraideath]

I tore my ACL in a very similar spot. Time will tell if he was injured or having a bad night. Either way I hope he learns to defend that cradle going forward.

This match is illustrative of how Cael is just a league ahead of brands. In a specific sense, holding the hand behind his back is genius and completely exposes Desanto’s one-dimensionality.

What’s sad is if things were reversed Iowa fans would have been howling & call RBY a wuss... Well guess what? You’re boy Desanto just got broken in front of you try hards lol. Never seen the refs save a wrestler from getting twice, unbelievable! Notice how Austin is fine until PSU locks that cradle up both times? Unreal!

[@shometexan]

That place would’ve come apart if roles were reversed & hawk fans would’ve surrounded the PSU bus in their tractors & combines.

[@Ur2ez4me81]

shometexan lmao 😂

[@michaelfox2256]

Did he have a not gotten pinned streak he was trying to preserve

[@tylerhughson3203]

I’ve been waiting for some that wrestles him to throw their left arm behind them because every move desanto sets up starts with him grabbing their left arm in the armpit, bout time someone looked at the tape

[@daghees]

What does rby gain from putting hand behind back in tie is it useful ?

[@WorkHarder-id8zd]

Desanto is known for his death grip on the armpit. Causes bruising and completely halts your offense. RBY came up with this strategy to beat it

[@alexperry5461]

Not sure what was sloppier, the officiating of ADS crying every time he was put in a cradle..

[@scottgodkin781]

I guess we’ll find out soon enough how serious this injury is

[@sthrush]

Scott Godkin it was not serious he did nothing wrong

[@sthrush]

He was about to get pined

[@brianvansickle5177]

Nothing is wrong, he was seen walking perfectly fine after the match and jumping up and down celebrating with his team after the win at HWT/dual finish

[@barryweyandt2682]

He'll have to sit out at least one match to make it look legit

[@scottgodkin781]

Brian VanSickle I didn’t know that. Very bad look for him, especially the way he conducts himself when he’s winning.

[@champmukiza]

He didnt know which knee to pick and say it hurts 😂 he was limping with the opposite knee

[@joshuabuddles4059]

That arm behind the back was a secret weapon

[@koolhandduke4087]

Well, that's one way to keep from getting pinned. You just lose a lot of respect in the process.

[@Rollothemodel]

This is hilarious. Desanto saying "save me Daddy save me"😂😂😂

[@Lightweight-Piety-OZ-Charlie]

Knee's fine at 4:35

[@matman3845]

literally nothing wrong with that man

[@dougtovey8010]

Only in Iowa is a guy up by 3 and hammering a guy does he get called for stalling. Talk about disgusting. And the toughest guy in the country pulls the little league I'm hurt to get out of danger not once but twice. Wow!

[@JB-zo7ln]

Way to go, RBY! Nice job steppin it up.

[@sethredman5804]

What a cry baby

[@richl2501]

quit cho whinin' Big Boi !!!! 🙂

[@sthrush]

I know right

[@Tdinh79]

Desanto didn't quit, he saved Roman Bravo young's career by refraining from choke slamming him. Next up: Gable Steveson vs Austin Desanto!

[@squeedum4893]

Amazing how the limp got better with every step after the forfeit.

[@drangedhermit1]

RBY has Desanto’s number as he beat him in Big 10s as well.

[@barfy-man3628]

C.J. Mancini got a link to the video?

[@professorxaviour3649]

The beatings don’t stop there pal 💪🏿

[@frasert8779]

He forgot to limp when he went to shake his hand 😂😂😂

[@Shmoneyteam34]

This bravo young guy is really good

[@TLOFLEX]

Yianni won the NCAA championship as a freshmen with a torn ACL. I’ve wrestled with some tough guys breaking and tearing ligaments on the Matt and still wrestled ! DeSanto is a COWARD!!

[@tonybonavito1978]

I don’t know man. I’ll still say to this day that the first time when RBY grabbed his toe and then was going to transition into that cradle, that little jerk of Desantos knee inward is enough to tear a meniscus or something. I did that myself in practice 🤷‍♂️ but he could’ve faked it cause he didn’t wanna get cradled of course

[@greatstate58]

😂 Iowa fans boo the rule book then boo the rightful winner after their guy quit. What is in the water over there.

[@fgshi3694]

Ok I understand that it might’ve been a fake injury but when you look at the whole scene he was limping and the first clip of RBY pulling his leg (at 1:44), it seemed like it could’ve popped. That’s just my opinion but I can see him faking it to get out of being pinned

[@drangedhermit1]

Ascend Xray He faked it. He was back in 2 weeks.

[@jackmcg0]

He limped on the wrong leg though.

[@dohcsmr1175]

Who would ever think an Iowa wrestler would crawfish like that? And he is from Pa.!!! Hopefully he learns from this.

[@cashrules520]

Cant figure out what was worse the connor fight or this match. I was looking fwd to both... we need steve mazagatti if he breaks his leg he breaks his leg.. cant run in NCAA'S

[@Shawnthemfdon]

we’ll see what happens in March.

[@jackwindrom253]

Depending on the extent of DeSanto's injury, this should be interesting and more than likely, a much different outcome.

[@KingYanoFPS]

Jack Windrom Brands said he was fine after the match.. He just broke mentally

[@DTS_I]

Jack Windrom seems like Bravo can get that cradle whenever he wants to lol.

[@mattschmidt9258]

Nah, the national title doesnt go through C.H.A. he can't win a big time match outside of it.

[@DTS_I]

Matt Schmidt facts

[@ORIF11]

Orthopedic surgeon here. Looked to me like he dislocated his patella, and then it reduced. Very painful injury. No way to continue to wrestle effectively. Amazing to me that he kept trying to wrestle. Courageous kid...and I am a Penn State fan.

[@mrmojo4180]

Your moms an orthopedic surgeon

[@brutledge3507]

What about the fake limp on the wrong leg doctor? What about the kickout and the strong shot doctor? Maybe keep the medical commentary to the surgical room.

[@kurtsloop2462]

At 1:57 desanto forgot which side to limp on

[@mattburney6811]

I dunno if you've ever torn your MCL, but start watching at 0:42. He turns the toe out then lifts the ankle. Ouch!!! If he had continued to elevate the ankle, the match would have stopped for PD anyways. Big Ten wrestling is a dog eat dog world, but it's not fun to see the kids get hurt.

[@cashrules520]

They all do that. Look at Suriano, yanni, zain, Seth even Desanto does it

[@professorxaviour3649]

The commentators don’t even see an injury and thought it was an eye injury before the trainer started working on desantos knee. Please stop with your lies!

[@bobklein1665]

Don't understand why Iowa fans booed rby, I thought they would have more class than that. There boy is the one that cried and gave up on the match.

[@sammiehilton3699]

😂😂 I see the Iowa coaches had to drag him off the mat 🤣

[@dgwear69]

I was very team desanto till i watched the second stop again. no reason it would hurt that bad from that position.

[@jopeify]

unfortunate set of of events but RBY was doing GOOD work, was he not? impressive movement on his part.

[@daw162]

strong work riding, and strong work in the scramble and he put desanto in a cradle twice. RBY is solid.

[@ImOnlySIeeping]

intentionally snapping the other guy's leg is elite wrestling

[@troygood4512]

ImOnlySIeeping man I’ve seen wrestlers in far more compromising situations and being completely fine so I don’t see how he could’ve snapped his knee from a cradle attempt

[@kenny2xtimes61]

Desantos was gonna get pinned early if he didn’t get saved
