IOWA CITY — The 3rd-ranked Iowa Hawkeye wrestling team will be a massive underdog tonight when the Hawkeyes host top-ranked and defending national champion Penn State. The Hawkeyes are 10-1 in duals after getting trounced at 8th-ranked Michigan 24-11 last week.

That’s Iowa coach Tom Brands. The gap between Penn State and the rest of the country appears to be huge.

Penn State and coach Cael Sanderson have won 10 NCAA titles since 2011.

Penn State is 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big Ten in duals. Mason City High alum Cullan Schriever is listed in the Hawkeyes’ probable lineup at 133 pounds, coming in with an 8-2 record.
