I made the trip to Norman last Friday to watch this match. Man there was some good wrestling on both parts. OU is much better than the recent years. They went 4-6 with Iowa State who is #2 ranked and in my opinion kind of blew it at heavyweight when he had a lead in the last overtime and decided to shoot a double with 8 seconds left. It happens.

Kendric did lose 13-6. However, he did score the first takedown and was within 2 pts in the 3rd period. He was in deep on more shots but seemed to gas out. Took him to dinner afterward and he thought the weight cut got him. He still is not used to that weight but will get better. I am proud of this young man and it put a smile on my face to see him run out of the tunnel and onto the mat in an OU uniform.

Good luck next week against Nebraska and Missouri!
