Wrestling: Nebraska Puts a Scare into Penn State but Falls in the End

For the first time all season, top-ranked Penn State was on its heels after #3 Nebraska won three of the first four matches in a much-anticipated dual Sunday afternoon.

After Nebraska’s 10-3 start to the dual, the Nittany Lions rebounded behind their home crowd to win five of the last six bouts on the way to a 22-13 win over Nebraska.

No team had scored more than 10 points against Penn State all season, and most of those losses were by backups in duals where Penn State didn’t wrestle its best lineup.
