Caleb has gotten away from Ridge precisely twice.

He has chosen neutral in every single match excluding the first one. Caleb could’ve expended an insane amount of energy trying to keep Ridge, who not only is probably the best top wrestler in the country, the best reversal artist in the country down. He chose to go where he’s won in the past and it didn’t work out. Also he did not have a takedown the JO rule was written for that exact position he pops his head out to the side it’s 3 every day and twice on Sunday. He didn’t and here we are.

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!
133966Hokie • 03/22/25 10:11 PM ET
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
