The Hawkeyes hit the road traveling to Oregon State, hoping to smash a few Beavers while in the Pacific Northwest. The meet takes place Saturday November 2nd at 9 Pm. While the Hawkeyes are heavily favored in this dual meet, a couple interesting matches do exist. The dual features 11 ranked wrestlers and 2 ranked head to head bouts.
Don’t Miss: The 165 bout should be fantastic and 197 should also be entertaining. Both of these feature top 10 ranked opponents.
Keys To Victory: For Iowa they just need to win the matches they are favored to win. For Oregon State its very complicated, they will require bonus points in the few matches they win and an upset or two may still not be enough.
