I was sure, in person, that Siedel had backs on that last TD

until I saw the replay last night. There was a hesitation before the TD was awarded, where Jax still had the leg. Once he gave that up, the TD was given, and swipes began. So Aaron got a collection of single swipes, but boy, it was close! I did not like the quick 2-stall call on Miller live or on replay. I had no problem with the 1st, but OSU pushed him out, and David Taylor was the one who said he backed out, and the official obliged. If it had been on our side of the mat, it may not have been called. Just my gut feeling. And on another note, It was wild for me to see David Taylor there as a head coach. I still remember him as the 7th or 8th-grade phenom that I would see while traveling to tournaments when my son wrestled. Then I got to see him in his 1st couple of years wrestling in the tourneys we would travel to. The guy was tough as nails!

Danny Coale caught the ball and Aaron had back points.**

I thought Seidel earned two near fall points in the first period.**

Yep thought the 1st pancake TD caught ref so off guard it delayed him

NCAA requires control beyond reaction

Jax's rolls were crazy and kudos to Seidel for hanging with them and not

Seidel let his guard down & adjusted his headgear when Jax got TD

I saw it that way, too. Very clearly in my mind. Just that split second is

He needs to get his headgear adjusted!

You don't know this. Your speculation is insulting..."IMO"**

Watch the video & Seidel’s reaction as soon as takedown happens
hokiepro 02/17/26 03:17 PM ET
The clip is out there it's pretty clear you're opinion is correct **
