Here are a couple of amazing numbers that explain how superior Penn State’s wrestling team is to the rest of the top teams in the sport. Cael Sanderson’s unbeaten team has won its matches by an average margin of 39.
The Nittany Lions won their 83rd consecutive match, but the Cornhuskers provided a valuable test.
The Nittany Lions remained No. 1 as a team and kept six No. 1s individual, but one wrestler dropped at his weight.
Facts are facts: No. 1 Penn State will defeat No. 13 Michigan on Friday night with relative ease; there could be three good bouts among the final four weight classes, and this is a warm-up for next Friday’s colossal Jordan Center showdown with No. 2 Ohio State.
Rocco Welsh lost a national title to Penn State two years ago. Now, he's becoming one of the Nittany Lions' steadiest, most impressive winners.
