OSU’s 1965 Wrestling Team: The Best Ever to Not Win an NCAA Title

In 2018, Ohio State finished second to Penn State at the NCAA tournament. Many current wrestling writers, fans, spectators, coaches and commentators felt that Ohio State was the “best ever” to finish in second place at the NCAA tournament.

A few months ago I did a write-up that included some research on Bobby Douglas. Douglas was an Olympian and one of the most successful coaches in the history of the sport. After an undefeated 1965 regular season at Oklahoma State, Douglas had a concussion in his first match at the NCAA tournament and was unable to continue competing.
