Well, No. 7 Nebraska is predictably 1-1 to start the season. The Huskers beat a very solid No. 13 Minnesota team before falling to No. 1 Iowa.
Now with the Hawkeyes in the rear view, Nebraska will be favored to win every remaining dual on the schedule, including this weekend’s triangular against Maryland and No. 25 Northwestern Saturday afternoon at the Devaney Sports Center.
Northwestern has a solid team, but many of its heavy hitters didn’t wrestle in the season opener last weekend, while Maryland has been thoroughly dominated in three duals this season.
If Nebraska wants to prove it belongs in the conversation at the national level, it needs to take care of business against lower ranked foes like these.
