Nate Rotert looked great for SDSU and really won the dual for them with his major (that hurts me to type that).
SDSU wrestling fans are obnoxious idiots, like Iowa fans, only worse...big difference is they lack any semblance of knowledge and have no tradition of success like Iowa has. I love how Brady Ayers stalled the entire match without a call, and when 197 and HWT came around, the "Stalling" calls were being screamed in full force. Worse yet, there were fans on the fricking mat during the HWT match, which is complete BS and I hope SDSU is punished for that.
For CMU, a few notes:
Smith didn't look nearly as ready and good as he did at CKLV.
Brucki had some atrocious shot defense vs Kocer and Kocer got in on shots whenever he wanted.
Ellingwood had a really good gas tank.
Atienza looked small at 197, but had some great quickness and looks like he can scramble, which typically isn't a good thing for Cordell.
Stencel gassed HARD vs Macki at HWT. Macki is terrible and Stencel straight up broke and gave up at the end of the match.
125, 133, 157, 165, 197, and HWT are all very winnable for NDSU. I wouldn't have said HWT until Stencel lost to Macki, but man than was bad.
