Throughout a strange dual that involved some lineup issues on both sides, Nebraska still came away with a dominant win over a solid opponent.
The No. 4 Nebraska (11-3, 6-3 Big Ten) wrestling team went into Maturi Pavilion and took down the No. 13-ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers (9-8, 4-5) in a 29-12 victory Friday night. Nebraska wrestled two backups with one seeming to be planned but the other certainly was not. However, the Huskers did benefit, collecting bonus points when the Gophers were forced to forfeit a weight class due to a failed skin check.
Nebraska won six of the nine matches on the night, excluding the forfeit at 133 pounds.
