The #7 ranked Huskers wrestlers take on #1 ranked Penn State starting at noon on Sunday. What say you, everyone?
Top 10 Battle - Wrestling

I hope I’m wrong, but I think this one could be ugly for the Huskers. NU is probably only favored in 1 or 2 matches. Hopefully Berger vs Nolf will be a great matchup.
Haven't been following Nebraska this year, but Penn State's only really weak weight is 125. Vincenzo Joseph, their No. 1 at 165, hasn't wrestled the last two dual meets.
I tend to agree. PSU is way above everyone else so far this year. There are a couple of teams that could challenge in a dual setting (Ohio State and Iowa), and then there is the rest of the top 10. Huskers need to win a couple of the weights with matchups of top 5 wrestlers - and avoid bonus point losses - to even have a chance (on paper....). Unfortunately not a televised event.
If you think the B1G is tough in BB this year, wrestling is even worse. Huskers are rated #7, but only the 6th best B1G team in the rankings (Intermat).
I think it is on Flowrestling. Not sure if you have to pay a subscription or not.
You do not need a pay subscription to watch on Flowrestling. At least I didn't for the Rumble & Tumble event last weekend.
26-6 is my prediction and it could be generous.... PSU is just that good.
There is a free live stream through PSU that can be found by getting on Huskers.com.
The Huskers did a similar free live stream for the rumble tumble.
Today is the measuring stick, and there will be some good matches. Scary how much better Cael sandersons dynasty is in comparison to a very solid #7 Huskers team.

UPDATE: Iowa sucks (that should get them goin')
37 to 6 Big Red.
The most aggressive they have looked all year....... But the turtles are not good. 37-6 Huskers

Huskers up 3-0. Moisey gets 6-1 decision at 126. PSU announcer extremely happy that they did not give up bonus points.
PSU up 7-3. Redd loses late by a 5-4 score. Got 2 stalling calls on him and essentially cost him the match. That would have been a good toss-up match to win. Have I said how much I hate the stalling calls this year?
7-2 heading to third... Pretty dominating performance thus far by Nolf....
Now 9-4... Minute to go in the third.
Looking for the major decision... It ends 10-4.
First non bonus point win by Nolf on the season.

Huskers wrestling better than I thought they would, losing 4 matches by 2pts...... but the dual score is showing to be domination (but its not....... as the Huskers are close!).
19-3
Favored at 184 for Venz of Nebraska.

Had to go do some things. PSU now up 19-3, and have won a total of 6 matches in a row. Several of them looked to be pretty close matches, as the last 5 have been won by decision.
Venz wins 7-1 to close the gap to 19-6 PSU. Only 2 matches left.
Cloud looking pretty good to predict a 26-6 score.
Schultz battles Nickal to the end, arguably one of the best wrestlers in the country, but loses 8-6. PSU now up 22-6 with HWT match remaining. If PSU wins by major decision, Cloud should change his screen name to Vicki Vallencourt.
Quite a few close matches, which PSU won by 1-3 points. A couple of those go the Huskers way, it might have been the upset of the year.
That is your match. PSU wins 25-6. PSU heavyweight almost gets a takedown at the end of the match, which would have been a MD, but only wins 10-4. That would have gotten them to 26-6.
