Against a team that only lost three total matches in seven duals before coming into Lincoln, this may well be the closest anyone gets to them this season — that’s including #2 Iowa.
The dual started at 174 pounds which made it a tough task for Nebraska because they started against the toughest part of Penn State’s lineup — the upper weights.
