I thought the same thing.

It seemed Ridge was trying to show the ref he was the aggressor early, and show Caleb he wasn't going to get bullied... ...although I thought he did end up getting bullied and was losing steam the second half of the match. The one thing that came to mind in the 3rd period for me was - if he had maybe taken top in the 3rd and put a hard ride on 1) to maybe work towards the riding point, but 2) to just make Ridge work underneath for a bit. He seemed to be cracking even if just a bit. I just wonder if putting in some work on top would have opened things up a little more later. All that said, still okay with the call. Dude knows what he's doing

Wrong decision

Henson went with his strength. He clearly can get to Lovett's legs so you

Makes sense to me...**

I trust the kid that has wrestled him three times before and beaten him

Agreed.

It was the right decision. Lovett is a generational talent on top.

Great point. Recall Bryce got 2 escapes on Lovett

not illegal, just much easier said than done**

He still needs a takedown at some point to win...I totally understand it**

My only thought was I thought Caleb could have ridden him....
NovaHokie97 03/24/25 10:24 AM ET
that all assumes the odds are in favor of Caleb getting out and doing

I also think Ridge being aggressive right off the whistle set the tone…
