It appears so

I think freestyle passivity is having an impact on college wrestling. It encourages more pushing and positioning instead of leg or other attacks. All the elite wrestlers and year round programs are emphasizing freestyle. Which I hate because Folk style is much better than freestyle wrestling imo.

Armchair analysis of the NC State dual

I was excited with how Mullen wrestled. Very concerned about Church.

Being realistic about Mac, he jumped two weight classes and

I am not critical of his results per se. My focus is on his aggressiveness.

I understand but that style wins bigger matches more of the time.
VTCALS72 • 02/26/25 08:39 AM ET
I'm not a PSU guy by any means but they have plenty of attacking guys

I don't see State Penn doing a lot of stalling either.
Wilmington Hokie • 02/26/25 07:41 AM ET
Agreed! And from what I heard when I lived in State College, and what I...

Hokie havoc • 02/25/25 04:43 PM ET
I don't think it changes much
Hikinghokie • 02/25/25 10:54 AM ET
It was already there with the prevention of a takedown through scrambling
AirborneHokie96 • 02/25/25 10:39 AM ET
I disagree on this. Guys are much more aggressive on their feet

3 Point Reversals
SCA Hokie • 02/25/25 11:18 AM ET
How many reversals has our team had all year?
GreenvilleVT • 02/25/25 02:14 PM ET
That's my point!
SCA Hokie • 02/25/25 02:26 PM ET
They didn’t go for reversals before.
GreenvilleVT • 02/25/25 03:00 PM ET
Well there you go!**
Palmetto Hokie • 02/25/25 04:45 PM ET
Glad I'm not the only one who finds the 2 points for reversal odd**
StayPositiveVT • 02/25/25 11:51 AM ET
I'd agree here for the most part
donjfs3 • 02/24/25 05:37 PM ET
The scores may have been similar
Hikinghokie • 02/24/25 06:53 PM ET
I think it may be a confidence issue
Nafeikoh • 02/24/25 06:56 PM ET
That sounds right. He moved much better than the previous week.

HokieMole • 02/24/25 07:56 PM ET
It was smart and impressive but on the road in Stillwater was also big
donjfs3 • 02/24/25 09:45 PM ET
Could certainly be it as well
Hikinghokie • 02/24/25 07:14 PM ET
And the one guy that took a couple if wreckless shots got majored**
