No. 1 Iowa Wrestling defeats No. 10 Nebraska, 26-6

“We were flat. We were flat. Nebraska went to Madison and they were flat and they got beat and you know what they were coming in here to do… They worked hard to keep it close.”

-Tom Brands

“Talk about strategy. Doing just enough not to get called for stalling then Bam-o, Wham-o, thank you ma’am-o, then boom, blast you.”

-Brands on Marinelli’s match

Our #1 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes outlasted a gritty and determined Nebraska squad that had an upset on their mind to a decisive score of 26-6. But please, don’t let that end result fool you, this was anything but decisive.
