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.

125 Caleb Smith #8 vs Flynn, Cooper #5

133 Jacob Van Dee #19 vs Wells, Tyler #10

141 Brock Hardy #6 vs Vombaur, Vance #8

149 Ridge Lovett #5 vs Roberts, Drew #22

157 Antrell Taylor #5 vs Askey, Tommy #11

165 Bubba Wilson #7 vs Sparks, Andrew #9

174  Lenny Pinto #15 vs Whiting, Clayton #25

184 Silas Allred #7 vs McEnelly, Max #4

197 Camden McDanel #28 vs Salazar, Isaiah #10

285 Harley Andrews #29 vs Gable Steveson #1

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.

The Iowa State Cyclones return to the mat on Saturday January 11th to take on Rider in Hampton Virginia. The dual features 13 ranked wrestlers, with only 3  head to head ranked matches.

History: Iowa State leads the series with 3 wins to 1 lose. This years meeting should provide another Cyclone victory, as they are heavy favorites.

Keys To Victory: Iowa State is a heavy favorite and just needs to show up, they could even wrestle a few backups and still have nothing to worry about. Rider has no clear path to victory.

125 Kysen Terukina #14 vs Kaden Naame

133 Evan Frost #5 vs Nieko Malone

141 Jacob Frost #21 vs Bell, McKenzie 

149 Anthony Ecemendia #6 or Paniro Johnson vs Alvarez, Sammy #18

157 Cody Chittum #6 vs Washleski, Colton 

165 MJ Gaitan #15 vs Mungui a,Enrique

174  Aiden Riggins vs #24 Wilson, Michael

184 Evan Bockman #16 vs  Isaac Dean #17

197 Christian Carroll #17 vs De Lange, Steyn

285 Daniel Herrera vs David Szuba #21

Conclusion: I see Iowa State winning 8 of the 10 bouts, and honestly winning all 10 isn’t out of the realm of possibilities. As always the case with Iowa State this season, it will be interesting to see who starts.  I could see a final score of 32-6.
