Smith and Sanderson are both among the most innovative technicians as competitors and coaches that wrestling has seen. John Smith's influence on his wrestlers is apparent. The motion from space and elbow control proficiency reveals Smith's strong influence on his athletes. Likewise, PSU's collar tie usage and far ankle scrambles separate the Lions from much of their competition.
