The first time these two met in the finals. They met again in 2001. Unfortunately its only the 2nd and 3rd periods.

For the people wanting to see the 2nd finals battle with some crazy scrambles check the videos below out.

I dont totally agree with that, Schwab was pushing pulling and trying to snap and trying the front head and shot when it counted

Schwab only intiated action late in the 3rd period. Lightner controlled 3/4 of that match, but of course Iowa fans only worry about the last 30 seconds as their guy pushes forward (not shooting, just moving forward) & complaining about stalling. Watch both Schwab-Lightner finals & you will see that Lightner consistently takes shots throughout both matches (at least twice as many as Schwab). Schwab only kicks in when he is down in the 3rd.

But, of course, the other guys is always stalling through the eyes of a Iowa fans. Such is the reason we love to see Iowa guys lose.
Mark you speak the truth. I met Lightner a few years beck when he was training for the 2008 olympic trials. great guy i told him the icing on the cake of a national championship is beating out an iowa wrestler for it. gotta love that most of all

Maybe you're right about the number of shots Lightner took over Schwab but what about the number of steps backwards Lightner takes at the end.

I loved watching Lightner wrestle.

Lightner vs. Schwab II. Lightner felt the heat and needed a break on the injury time. He then iced the matched by running the rest of the 3rd period. He should have been hit with a second stall call. In the final 30 to 40 seconds of the match count how many steps Lightner takes backwords. Don't get me wrong though, Lightner is still a Hell of a wrestler. Just hate to see matches won that way.
