Overall Thoughts-
Figueroa and Vasquez winning at 125 and 141 made the difference in the dual. Parco vs Mauller was a toss up and could still go either way going forward this season.
Schultz has a much more developed offense compared to last year. Rocky Elam looks great coming into this season and will look to establish himself as a national title contender.
With no Teemer it will be a struggle for ASU to push past Iowa at number 2 but great showing for them in this dual.
