[Music] you got a lot of young guys on this team like you said and uh how much can you help those guys with this weekend because instead of just one big match and then come on home this one's a double double dip and they're always a little more stressful aren't they uh yeah you know you just got to be smart about about your weight after that first way you don't want to you don't want to blow up too big cuz obviously you have to to make weight again on Sunday so you know it's uh you know they they'll be smart about their weight you know they're a young group but you know they're pretty uh pretty mature for for how young they are you know I think that's obviously plays a factor into you know why we've been you know wrestling pretty good the last couple couple weeks and you know I think that we're just going to continue to continue to grow and I don't think that I definitely don't think you we've seen our our best wrestling you know I think that we've have a lot to improve on and uh you know the sky's the limit for us dating two months into the season I me it's one thing to ask you now after the first duel have you felt the pace of matches and D Chang with the three-point um I think that I really don't think it's changed that much you know I think that you know you see higher scores um I think that you know you can the biggest difference is you can get bonus points easier you know for me I I got three three takedowns and my mat to KY State and got a major went in the past I would have had to get some some back points or some more takedowns to to get that major uh but you know the other side of the coin you know everybody talks about the offensive side but the other side of the the coin is you know no lead is is safe with with the three-point takedowns you know I could I was up what was the score I was up by like four points or five points if I if I give up a taked down in the and I push for that major there's a minute left I need to take down to get the major if he would have got the take down it would have been a onepoint match so he he lets me up and now where he's a Tak down away from taking the lead so it's uh you know I was close to get I I was close enough to get the major I got the major but he was definitely still in the match you know he gets a take down and he's right back in it so you know it's uh I think it's good for the sport you know it definitely promotes people you know trying to score points and you know you can get points you can get taken down and you can still you know come back so I think that overall it's very good for the sport
