Iowa vs Ohio State

that could have been called a 2 swipe. Either way, close call.

yaa thats 2 n 2... SJ checks the score after he recovers from the cradle... he knew he was in some trouble... pretty shocked they didnt any points

..... If DSJ was "clearly" still in "control"... Why wasn't the ref counting swipes for him? With the cradle locked up, the position of Demas' back met criteria for NF2 for DSJ

ncaa ref need to make the right calls. that was atleast 2 back points.

T2 and N2 no doubt that Demas initiated the move and held him on his back for what I got as a 3 count. Guy might be a good ref but he seemed lax and not ready for this type of action.

I think the ref made the right call. Mike McCormick is one of the best refs in the NCAA. His judgement is usually spot on.

Clearly 2 reversal and possibly NF if the reff woulda been in a better position...and even if it was only a reversal DSJ wouldn't have gotten another reversal anyway because shortly after tht there was a stalemate called...some of you need to learn your wrestling haha

This was a reversal and 2 back anywhere except Iowa. You can clearly see St. Johns arm flail to get himself off his back relinquishing any control he may have had. Doesn't matter if his other arm is just hanging around the leg. Demas established control with the cradle and turn and St. Johns right arm shows he lost control.

second reversal... your a moron...if they had given 2 and 2 like it should have been demas would have been up 5-3 and wouldnt have bailed on the position. he had the corner and DSJ was trapped and couldnt go anywhere but the ref didnt give him the points probably b/c iowa threatened not to pay him if he didnt hose tOSU so he had bail on the position (at this point demas realized i need to get him flat on his back to just get 1 for an escape) he would have gotten the stalemate, restarted on top with a 5-3 lead. would have rode him log enough to get riding time which would have made DSJ have to get 2 takedowns to win and that wouldnt have happened.

You mean like how the riding time clock screwed Ramos last year against Oliver. That match shouldn't have gone to OT. Ramos won in regulation.

Even if they gave the reversal to Demas, they would have to give a reversal to St. John immediately after. He was indisputedly in control right after the cradle broke.

When you're locked in a cradle, by definition, you're not in control...it doesn't matter where St. John's arms were. Definitely 2 for reversal and if it's a reversal, it's 2 back points too.

If you have a front head lock locked up you have more control of your opponent right? But you don't have complete control so 2 points can not be awarded the same goes for this cradle. Sure Demas had a more dominant position but at no point in time he was in complete control of the situation. He never came out from in front to cover the hips and only held DSJ on his back for 1 maybe 2 seconds. The ref made the right decision and confirmed his decision during the replay.

i love all of the he was in control. holding onto a leg while a guy has a LOCKED CRADLE and your leg hooked while you lay on your back is not control.
