First Word
"We have to have some fire in our bellies moving forward. There's two weeks to make some adjustments and then get tested right away again at the Black Knight (at Army West Point). Let the ball roll and build some momentum, but we have to fix a lot of small little details." – Coach Kyle Ruschell

The Breakdown

• Match started with a barnburner. 19th-ranked Brendan McCrone got a takedown on Ty Tice at 125 which Tice reversed for a 3-2 deficit. That lasted through to the third where Tice cut McCrone early in the third looking for a takedown. He had a deep shot late in the third that couldn't be finished before time expired in the decision.
• Billy Meiszner was the major highlight for the Mocs. He completed a 10-1 major decision with a takedown before time expired. It was one of three in the bout for him.
• True freshman Kade Rule showed impressive fight in his first career dual against No. 11 Luke Geog. He trailed 15-3 late in the second period before a takedown cut the deficit to 15-6. He then worked his opponent with two more takedowns and was working on a third when time expired in a 16-12 loss.
• The Buckeyes had a fall and six tech falls in the other seven matches.
