One thing I always forget to do when watching a dual meet is to count the team stall calls. In other words, record each time the referee raises his fist and tally them up at the end of the meet to see how much referee "homerism" is occurring. Having watched a number of PSU home meets in the past years, I always wonder who on the team the referee is related to. I would concede that Penn State wrestlers usually are hard workers so I am not surprised that they do not get called for stalling much, however I have seen some visiting teams work very hard also (particularly Nebraska) and get called for stalling a lot.

"According to the press release from PSU we have no Hunter and either Jake Ryan or Kresevic at 57. Good news is we do have Snyder.
Here is my attempt at an unbias prediction...
125 - Nato beats Mega on a one takedown match
3-0 good guys
133 - JDJ loses close to Conaway. Major match points at stake here as JDJ is definitely good enough to beat him.
3-3
141 - Micah looks good right now. I am going to give him a major here over Guilibon but that might be the homer in me.
7-3 good guys
149 - I think Zain is the best p4p wrestler in the country right now. 6 no matter who we throw out there. (Hozan or Davis)
7-9
157 - I think it is a tech fall as Nolf has been teching/pinning everyone in his path. Would love to hold it to a major but going to give them 5.
7-14
165 - Rasheed is good but BoJo looked great against Welch (granted Rasheed pinned welch) but I am going to give Bo the major. The 4 point nearfall really helps him in this case.
11-14
174 - Last time Bo and MyMar went at it it was 4-3 Bo with a controversial call. Can MyMar win? Absolutely. But I am going to give the edge to Bo.
11-17
184 - Assuming they don't rush McCutcheon back in for a dual before B1G's and it is a back up. Gonna give Kenny the decision, but this weight seems to be a toss up.
14-17
197 - Assuming we don't rush a concussed Martin back either and Rozema goes. Assuming tech fall here as McIntosh has been brilliant this year.
14-22
Heavy - Snyder man easy. Hoping for a tech but that seems like a lot for a guy who doesn't wrestle top. I wouldn't want to face him after losing a close one in Siberia.
18-22 Final
If JDJ wins or if a couple guys keep it close against elite competition we win the dual. The hard part is, it is a sellout crowd for PSU and the stall calls will be flying.
Here's to hoping/praying I'm way off and we pin 'em all!
Go Bucks!"

I think we see 6 for PSU at 197. Rozema showed a lot of heart against Purdue but the size difference for him is huge and McIntosh is on a whole different level. Beating PSU and spotting them 12 (149 also) will be tough to overcome. Maybe Fox again at 197 to try to avoid bonus?
If the Buckeyes come out like they did against TSUN this will get ugly. If it starts at 125 I think we will know where this is going by the end of 133.
This team has performed on the big stage. Maybe this is what they need.

there's so much talk about PSU, but on paper the bucks match up really well, I'm not saying tOSU is going to win, I am a realist, but I'm also a bucks homer. GO BUCKS!!

I guess we will find out tomorrow how it goes. I won't be shocked if its close and won't be shocked if they get blown out.
