Wrestling takes down #6 Ohio State in Columbus
In a dual that was shown on BTN before Hockey's win over MSU, #13 Michigan Wrestling (6-1, 2-0 B1G) traveled to take on #6 Ohio State at St. John Arena.
OSU won the national championship last season.
It started out pretty back and forth with both sides trading victories in matches. Consecutive victories by Michigan at 149 and 157 gave Michigan a 9-6 lead, but OSU took 5 points in the 165 match via tech fall to take an 11-9 lead.
The momentum changer came in the next match at 174lbs, when Michigan's #19 Devonte Mahomes upset OSU's #15 ranked Myles Martin. Mahomes prevailed in a sudden-victory OT period, winning 3-1 via takedown.
When the match finished up, Mahomes flexed which drew boos from the crowd of 4,300+ and then he raised his arms up and down while standing on the OSU logo in the middle of the mat, egging the crowd on further.
It was all Michigan from that point on. Michigan took the final 3 matches to upset #6 Ohio State, 21-11.
Michigan has now won its last two duals at St. John Arena.

Very good win on the road.

I have a feeling we'll be hearing something very similar next November. Except we'll be undefeated and #1

Rick's kids wrestled on the same high school team as my son. I got to talk to him on several occasions - nice guy. We were at Michigan around the same time.

Get the fuck off my mat

Fantastic dual. Ref was a homer. Brutal on stalling calls. Coach McFarland was going nuts after only one match as Tomasello was backing up for 1:30 in the 3rd period but he called one on Youtsey. Called Mahomes for stalling when he as standing in the middle of the mat. I thought Dom had 2 different 2 NF and the Ref never called it. Great win overall!

Hard to get that call against Tomasello. Refs love the top ranked guys. But I get why coach was going bonkers.

A little wrestling pun. I like what you did there

Forever unclean
January 9th, 2016 at 11:24 PM ^
Especially when OSU is favored going into the match/game/meet/etc.
Nice work, M wrestling.
January 9th, 2016 at 11:31 PM ^
Harbaugh would kick Urbs ass too.
January 9th, 2016 at 11:53 PM ^
Some jamoke downvoted you for this?
Big ups to the grapplers. BIG win vs the Sucknuts.
To be the man, you have to beat the man.

Congrats to the Maize and Blue!

Impressed most with Youtsey even with the loss. He hasn't been performing well all year, this was a huge match to get back on track.
Bruno at 133 also has kind of struggled this year. He beat the #8 ranked wrestler and looked really sharp. Solid wrestling for all Wolverines today. Wasn't close at all.

Nice! Screw osu!
January 10th, 2016 at 12:29 AM ^
Over rated again. Imagine that.
January 10th, 2016 at 12:36 AM ^
person to get negged when he put out a perfect post. Because he is young? Man, somebody needs to do a little growing up themselves.

Looking forward to the 22nd. My son and his Linden wrestling team take on Mason in a dual at Cliff Keen. After, Michigan takes on CMU.

Michigan kicks osu ass on osu's own mat and right after that Michigan kicks states ass all over the ice.
January 10th, 2016 at 7:52 AM ^
I realize that points on the OP don't matter, but WTF is Sydney's effing problem...how can you downvote this post??? HOW?
"Cuz I don't like WD..."
WTF Ever. Grow up, ya poofter.
January 10th, 2016 at 8:08 AM ^

They are TOUGH

Great win. Refs in college are flat out horrible when it comes to stalling.
