The marquee dual of the Big Ten conference wrestling season is upon us!
Last year, the Nittany Lions went on the road and took on Michigan on a Friday, Michigan State on Sunday, and then Iowa the next Friday. It kinda worked out well for Cael Sanderson’s crew; and the odds are that this year’s tough stretch, perfectly the same except at home, will have a similar outcome.
Nothing is assured in the world of sports, though, and the Hawkeyes are always a tough outing. This year, I look at the matchups and there are six bouts where I truly wouldn’t be shocked if either wrestler won; this bodes well in PSU’s favor, though, since even if those are split evenly, the three to one advantage in virtual gimmes (even with a near-assured six points from Spencer Lee) should swing the dual meet to the Lions.
