The #5 ranked Nebraska Corn huskers return to the mat in Lincoln Nebraska, on Saturday January 11th against the #4 Minnesota Gophers. The dual features 20 ranked wrestlers, with 10 head to head ranked matches. Including, 4 top 10 match-ups. This is one of the most high profile dual meets so far this season.
Don’t Miss: The 184 bout might steal the show with a former Big 10 Champion vs a freshman sensation looking to make a name for himself. 125, and 141 should also be exciting.
Keys To Victory: This is one of the most even dual meets of the year, with many bouts being decided by a point or two. They key to winning the meet is winning the close matches.

Conclusion: I have Nebraska winning 6 of the 10 and scoring bonus points at 149. Minnesota picks up wins at 133, 184, 197 and Heavyweight. The final score Nebraska winning 19-16. However Nebraska could be wrestling a backup at 165, in that case I have the final score 16-19 for a Minnesota win. Either way this is an exciting dual meet and could go either way.
