When guys are funky/unorthodox like Cook, they're generally better/more effective the first time other guys see them. Cook gives up his legs fairly regularly, and if his opponent finishes shots quickly, he isn't dangerous.
I'd be surprised if Cam techs Price. Price is really solid and will be a tough matchup. Smith has improved 157 for SDSU too and will make Franek work for it.
I think 125, 141, 174, and HWT are the big ones that will decide the dual.
Hopefully Midkiff can beat Vega again, but I would favor Vega. Getting the first takedown and taking over on top will be huge for Midkiff.
Droegemueller hasn't beaten Carlson yet, but he's been close. He has been able to get in on shots, but hasn't been able to finish them. That'll be the key for this one.
174 should be big, especially if it is Weber vs Cook. High potential for a fall if these two square off.
At HWT, Metz is obviously the favorite, but Wolters has improved and could keep it close. If Metz stays active, he could dominate him, because Wolters really doesn't do much.
