I’ve had the flu this season—it was not a fun experience, and required several weeks for a full recovery. I don’t know what bugs are infecting the PSU and Rutgers wrestling rooms of late, but by all accounts a good number of kids have been dealing with symptoms the last few weeks, and this Monday night showdown at the BJC wound up featuring several underweight backups from both squads giving a go against ranked opponents.
Lucky for Penn State fans, our backups are pretty great wrestlers, who relished their opportunity to compete under the high-production lights of Penn State’s annual big-arena dual.
