00:03 >> What do you think about the way the team was offensive and
00:07 their ability to rack up takedowns in the school tonight?
00:10 >> I think that we have to continue that.
00:13 I think there were some key matches where we did not convert, guys rolled on us.
00:19 And those were big takedowns at 125 and at 157.
00:24 And we gotta keep cleaning that up, getting better.
00:28 And we're up for that challenge and we've gotten better there, but
00:32 can't go to sleep on that, gotta convert.

00:38 >> What did you learn from Colin Schreiber tonight?
00:41 >> He got taken down right away and ridden for a while and didn't get rattled and
00:45 worked his way off the bottom and then dug himself out of the hole pretty quick.
00:49 And worked hard and I think he could have probably ended that match.
00:56 We got bonus points, but I think he could have ended that match with a tech fall.
00:59 I think our intentional releases have to be quicker.
01:03 I think we gotta know what we're doing out there more, but hey, good job.
01:06 Good job of not getting rattled, good job of, he hasn't been feeling good.
01:11 I mean, there's a lot of crap going around in the flu realm and
01:17 he's dealing with that and he stepped up.
01:20 And he'll go next weekend as well.
01:21 And we'll just keep a good thing going with him.
01:24 >> What does Drake need to do differently to be able to come out on top in
01:30 a match like that?
01:31 >> I mean, I mentioned that he has to finish that hold and that ties it and
01:36 I think it was four to one at that point, I think.
01:38 And we gotta finish, we gotta convert.
01:40 But you gotta have more attempts and all that and it's not something
01:46 that a brilliant tactician has to figure out.
01:51 And Drake, I yell, is a competitive guy and
01:56 he's hard on himself in the right ways and he's got work to do and he knows it.
02:01 >> What did you see out of Voynovich today?
02:03 >> Wide gap, I love it.
02:07 I love it, response too.
02:09 You know, not, probably wanted to lay on the guy for a little bit and
02:14 respond into the corner, that's what we need.
02:17 >> What led to him getting the start?
02:20 >> I mean, Rochy will go next weekend.
02:23 Rochy was supposed to go, but there's a bug going around.
02:28 I mean, what do you want me to say?
02:28 >> How has Victor handled kind of the competition?
02:33 He was a starter now.
02:35 >> He's been eager and he hasn't sucked his thumb and that's important.
02:39 Love it, he lets me know from time to time that he's still gunning for that title.
02:47 >> Love it.
02:49 Packed it up tonight, good job.
02:51 Rochy will go next weekend.
02:53 >> Glacier really seems like he's hitting his stride offensively.
02:56 I mean, what can you say about his performance?
02:58 >> Good, good.
02:58 I mean, Kennedy, Glacier, Hill, those matches,
03:04 Tech Falls, that's a lot of takedowns, and didn't go to sleep.
03:08 A three point takedown, quick Tech Fall, but
03:11 it can also bite you a little bit and get a guy right back into it quick too.
03:15 So it goes both ways and you can't go to sleep and they did a good job.
03:18 And Glacier's been great at it, love it, love it.
03:23 I mean, I told him I was screaming at the top of my lungs, I love it.
03:27 Thanks, we're on the road next week.
03:30 And then, actually the next two weekends, I think, and
03:33 then we got Penn State coming to town.
03:34 And if you saw their result tonight, we got a lot of work to do, but
03:40 we don't look past anybody either, thanks.
03:42 >> Thank you, Tom.
03:46 >> Yelly?
