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!

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