No. 17 Rutgers Wrestling vs No. 8 Ohio State Match Preview

No. 17 Rutgers Wrestling (13-4, 2-4), off a 36-3 thrashing of in-state rival Rider on Thursday night will have a tough test Sunday against the No. 8 Buckeyes of Ohio State (6-3, 2-3).

The Buckeyes fell to No. 1 Penn State Friday night, 32-7 but were missing some key starters which could make this dual meet very interesting for the Scarlet Knights. Ohio State’s lineup features nine ranked wrestlers, including five ranked in the top-ten, but two of their highest ranked wresters, No. 4 Carson Kharchla at 165lbs and No. 6 Kaleb Romero at 184lbs, both didn’t go for the Buckeyes on Friday.
