Every year when Penn State’s wrestling schedule gets released, fans are probably searching for when the Nittany Lions will take on Ohio State.
It has turned into almost a bigger rivalry than football’s. Rec Hall sold out last year, and the 13,000-seat St. John Arena is nearly sold out this year in Columbus, promising to provide another electric environment.
Friday night’s match will be very similar to last year’s barn burner inside Rec Hall. It might not be No. 1 vs. No. 2, but there could be up to 18 ranked wrestlers on the mat. In addition, nine of the 10 bouts could be ranked wrestler versus ranked wrestler.
