Caleb chose neutral last year as well.

That match followed the exact same script as last year until Ridge picked bottom instead of top. That was the safest strategy to win that match with how dangerous Ridge is from both top and bottom. Caleb just couldn’t get it done on his feet this match.

Surprised Caleb went neutral second period and try and ride his

Here's the thing....even if he went down and got right out ...

I like Caleb’s chances in OT!

Isn’t that always the case though? Get what you’re saying but then why does
fishnpack_hokie • 03/22/25 09:38 PM ET
Because often the escape is far more likely to happen

Risk vs. reward
donjfs3 • 03/22/25 09:44 PM ET
Why? Caleb has a strong ride too. Other options. **
133966Hokie • 03/22/25 09:29 PM ET
He takes down, gets an escape ...he's still going to need...
JoesterVT • 03/22/25 09:47 PM ET
Caleb has a strong ride. What if he gets the min of riding time plus his
133966Hokie • 03/22/25 10:07 PM ET
That had to be the thinking. Ridge is very tough on top. Would
ChEHokie78 • 03/22/25 09:08 PM ET
Not only time but energy to get out of the bottom..
AirborneHokie96 • 03/22/25 09:11 PM ET
Yeah but Caleb has escaped before. Multiple times from under Ridge.
133966Hokie • 03/22/25 09:27 PM ET
I was the same way**
AirborneHokie96 • 03/22/25 09:29 PM ET
He didn’t have a choice on how he spent the third period.
GreenvilleVT • 03/22/25 09:03 PM ET
I don't think Caleb chose bottom last year. Ridge chose top. **
Pylons • 03/22/25 09:23 PM ET
Your right. **
GreenvilleVT • 03/22/25 09:39 PM ET
Caleb chose neutral last year as well. ◄
Hokiefan94 • 03/22/25 09:21 PM ET
Well except he did get a TD but it was overturned!
133966Hokie • 03/22/25 09:45 PM ET
Caleb has gotten away from Ridge precisely twice.
Hokiefan94 • 03/22/25 10:11 PM ET
And I believe he has had precisely two opportunities
