10:12 Ryan Nolf?

[@CyberBullyAwareness]

Love how the announcer calls out the escapes even when Nolf lets him up.

[@mrob456]

The point he was given is called an escape point

[@CyberBullyAwareness]

Deakin at the third period: Let's play, "Don't get pinned or Teched".

[@charlesfriscia7236]

Nolf is the only wrestler in the country that can score 3 points from bottom while getting ridden out the entire period.

[@craigfawcett5745]

Crazy how different of a level nolf is and has been on!!

[@amazingsportsmixes126]

Would be closer now

[@xEvolutionx-ui5bn]

Lol look at his match against Kyle Dake🤣🤣

[@ImaginaryHuman072889]

LOL never heard such a quiet crowd from a #1 vs #3 match. Love the announcer’s futile enthusiasm when Nolf lets him up “escape Ryan Deakin!” Nolf is just on another level.

[@VeritasEIREAequitas]

Nolf just out-worked him and made it look easy

[@jacobpeters3353]

Love how deakin never gives up though

[@daw162]

yes, he actively stalls instead of just getting taken down over and over. Not that nolf and nickal (and retherford) didn't cause a lot of that. Retherford usually punished anyone who bellied out, though.

[@znhait]

This is called aggressive passiveness, what Deakin did in the third period. He basically cheated on top, even intentionally stalling and giving up points because he got tired of being treated like a JV wrestler. I know Nolf is really good, but Northwestern had no chance of winning the dual. All he was doing is avoiding the shame of being taken down 15+ times.

[@ianshue2890]

I’m not trying to say it in a disrespectful way, but what would you have done? Was it cheap, yes. But I think it’s better to do that and not get tech falled than to go on the feet again and as you said get taken down 15+ times

[@wrestlingscience]

Almost all of Nolfs attacks were setup by Nolf posting off Deakins left arm collar tie. Deakin is a left leg lead. This is why coaches tell you not to collar tie with the same arm as your lead leg. Deakin keeps doing it over and over again and keeps getting scored on almost every time he does it.

[@nicksfitnesslifestyle599]

I noticed that too. He just kept popping it up and going.

[@johndavidson815]

Listen to the announcers and watching the officiating was brutal. The announcers were uneducated and the refs missed calls in every match. NW has this beautiful facility to compete in and this is the what the NCAA provides for refs. I feel for the athletes.

[@luisalberto1456]

NW as a whole leaves a lot to be desired. They typically have 1-3 top guys a year but for those guys the same amount of talent falls through the cracks or doesn’t hold up. E.G. Sebastian and Brill :/ Trists didn’t repeat and left the program. Rivera to Rutgers.

[@hakobbasilfan4644]

Nolfyboy is definitely becoming a national champions this year.

[@chriskarsseboom2200]

Hakob Enfiajyan what? He wins like everything

[@cheese4746]

1:30 that was just a beautiful double

[@davidgdmz4551]

I was there watching it, Deakin is just a a huge strong talented wrestler but Nolf has too much momentum as 2x national champ for anyone to even imagine beating him. Penn State creates such a powerful WIN WIN momentum that it becomes almost impossible for anyone to even have a chance at winning against the Penn State wrestlers. How many Penn State guys will make the NCAA finals ? Every weight class ?

[@andrewmock7086]

Gable Stevenson for Minnesota will win in the finals though!

[@DB-115]

I'm calling finalist from 157 thru heavyweight for psu.

[@ryan80166]

Andrew lol

[@jake4551]

@@andrewmock7086 lol nah Penn State won that one😂😂

[@John-zh6ld]

Nolf complete and total domination. Never leaves it up to the judges.

[@ultimategamer4010]

Very nice match

[@michaelmaloskyjr]

I see Berger getting in on Nolf's legs but having no answer to Nolf's funk and spinning.(i.e., Nolf will turn Berger's shots into defensive points unlike this 100% offensive match.)

[@DB-115]

Yeah it's basically a battle for 2nd place. A 70% Nolf probably still bonuses his way to a national title.

[@chriskarsseboom2200]

Berger won’t do anything with nolf.

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

Jason Nolf is BEAST.

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

He's a BEASTYBOY.

[@robertosantos4730]

jason nolf would have teched him by now if he hadn't let ryan deakin get up everytime. nolf is in a class of his own.

[@MrTREYGOR]

Nolf has some heavyyyy hands

[@gregwhitsel5052]

Hasn’t allowed any back points? Like that’s an achievement for an elite wrestler!!😂

[@bigm1lf854]

I mean when you go against other wrestlers of that caliber it is considering how capable they are

[@DB-115]

5 FIRST PERIOD take downs over a guy who'll most likely end his collegiate career as an NCAA champ. That's how good Nolf was.

[@kawikajones9436]

Deakin has just 1 more shot at being a National Champion next season.

[@DB-115]

@@kawikajones9436 he'll have his hands full. Carr, Teemer, Hidlay all coming back.

[@ImaginaryHuman072889]

LOL at the end “despite a solid 3rd period by Deakin” meaning he didn’t let Nolf up and gave up 2 points for stalling and 1 point for locked hands

[@Jesse_kang]

Ahhhh I can't belive that I into them already

[@Superdog-gr5yh]

Northwestern needs to donate that mat and get another lol

[@Joeblow-ms3cv]

MAJOR decision. 🙂

[@emill2119]

Anyone know how tall jason nolf is?

[@user-de1dj9hd7e]

the ref is interfering with the start

[@wilk7958]

10:12 lol

[@timmh_7]

Who set up the mat LOL

[@Nik_Airball]

That mat looks like it was set up by high school kids from the block

[@gregoryderosa8045]

Haha

[@Zoomer-te9us]

Here in 2024, anyone know if NW has replaced this horrid mat? How does a D1 program have a mat that would be bottom dollar at most high schools?

[@brandenpalcko4010]

End of the first

[@AzuReGravity]

Those were bad stalling calls, good performance by Nolf tho

[@sweeterscience83]

Gravity™ explain

[@c1o6128]

sweeter_science83 Franciotti specially the 3rd period where deakin legit had no answer to nolf’s movement except to drop to a leg (which is illegal) and just wait for the ref to call it up and restart. Also deakin gave up 3 penalty points to avoid getting teched or pinned by nolfs superior top and neutral game.

[@sweeterscience83]

Colton fireball those calls all seemed warranted.

[@wrestlingscience]

Colton fireball the answer would be to work up to the body or cut him. 2 answers

[@triadknightswrestling1660]

If anything they were bad stalling calls because there should have been 2 more of them.

[@mikedeking1743]

at 3:05 Deakin should've hold onto the arms on his stomach and turn. Then voila he could've defeated him or get 2 points -3-

[@kimjeremyvice3921]

Who is the better wrestler like Kyle drake comment Jordan Burroughs

[@jesvinmathew5103]

Obviously Jordan

[@kenpojss]

Deakin??? More like Thiiiiickin
