I don't think that's it. Sam just wasn't prepared for how long Yarbrough is

Sam loves the collar ties because he his so tall and long that he can protect himself from a lot of leg attacks. Problem is that Yarbrough can still reach Sam's legs and he's quick. The other problem is that Sam wasn't prepared for how far he had to reach to get to Yarbrough's legs. Second take down was entirely because Sam over extended on a shot and Yarbrough was quick enough to shuck him by and spin behind him which started one of those 50/50 scrambles that Yarbrough won. Sam didn't wrestle badly. He attacked and was able to get some decent attempts, but if he faces this kid again, he's going to adjust his style a bit and not attack underneath so much with an inside single or a double. If he sticks with the collar ties, he needs to be harder on Yar's head to put him back on his heels as he picks his head up which opens things up.

Not a good ending for VT
OIG Hokie 02/02/24 09:10 PM ET
embarrassing quite frankly... Latona seemed uninterested

Problem is that wasn't their first match

True, but MY is a year stronger and smarter

Sub for the VT starter (Crook) at 141.**

Do you think Crook will be able to make wt at 141 again next year?**
hokie77 02/02/24 09:30 PM ET
It is a good question. The bench at 141 does not seem competitive. Yes,

Thought Latona was a Sr this year and gone next year?**
hokie77 02/03/24 11:44 AM ET
He’s got one more - COVID year.

That is a mystery **

That had to be the most awkward Commonwealth Clash pic ever...
Diehard Hokie 02/02/24 09:13 PM ET
Awkward ending with 133 and 141
UpperQuad 02/02/24 09:42 PM ET
Crook would’ve won at 141. Hope he’s not hurt
hokiepro 02/02/24 09:12 PM ET
Poster indicated Crook was ill tonight.**

Except on the scoreboard. **
