1st Period: Youtsey looking to get to his front headlock right away.  That's where he's great and very comfortable.  Conaway looking for wrists, underhook for Youtsey.  A few half shots from both guys but no real committments yet. Single from Conaway, Youtsey looks to pass the leg but Conaway gets height and the 2.  Reversal right away for Youtsey and it'll be 2-2 after the first Period.

2nd Period: Youtsey goes bottom. Earns the escape.  3-2 Youtsey.  Not much RT for either.  Another shot from Conaway, countered by Youtsey.

149-Andrew Alton-PSU v. Eric Grajales-Michigan
1st Period:
Alton in on the single right away and a quick finish for Andrew.  2-0.  Alton look sfor the tilt but can't get it.  Escape for Grajales.  2:00 to go in the 1st.  Alton ALMOST gets the cow catcher for the fall but just gets 2 and 2 for a 6-1 lead.  6-2 with the Grajales escape.  Holy cow what a period! Reviewing a potential takedown for Alton. Two is given.  I thought that was the right call.  8-2 after 1.

2nd Period: Grajales takes bottom and gets the escape.  8-3 Alton now.  Grajales in deep and picks AA up and gets the 2.  ALMOST gets a 2 count for a tilt.  8-5 now .  Alton just gets warned for stalling.    

3rd Period:  Alton goes bottom.  Grajales kicks him loose  and gets a quick takedown.  Grajales lets him loose, arm drag double and is up 11-9.  Shot by Grajales and a crazy counter puts Grajales in danger but just the takedown given.  13-9 Alton.  This has been insane.  This is under review.  They're checking the score maybe?  Escape and takedown for Grajales and a stall point given makes it 13-12 Alton.  Takedown Grajales to his back and theres the fall!! What a match!!!

I did my best to keep up with the action, takedowns, escapes and and stall points were tough to keep up with.
