The key for Iowa will be to avoid giving up bonus points in the matches they're underdogs. Penn State looks awfully tough
Both are young teams, this should be a good rivalry over the next few years
I wish Penn State wasn't so good while we are having a down year.
I still hope that Iowa gets crushed. Has Cael beaten Iowa yet?
Is Long a starter or do they have a year sit out rule?

Long is slated as starting:
He could end up wrestling Tyler Clark, although Ramos went last night vs. Northwestern. I think only basketball and football have the one year sit-out after transferring, but I could be wrong.Quote:

Iowa matches up well in the dual. I expect them to win.
I hope Cael becomes a royal pain in the *** to the squawks, starting tomorrow night.

Well considering they didn't beat OSU, they are working on the most consecutive non-losing record. Not sure what the record is though.Quote:
