We spent a bunch of time talking wrestling and previewing the PSU vs Lehigh match. Penn State has a bunch of moving pieces and parts – we tried to dissect them.

Oklahoma State vs Lehigh Dual Preview
Seth Duckworth and I spent some time today doing a preview of this big early season match up. If the expected starters wrestle, more than a dozen top 25 wrestlers will take the mat. The marquee match will hopefully take place at 174lbs: #2 Jordan Kutler vs. #5 Joe Smith. Smith hasn’t wrestled a match […]
Preview #3 Michigan vs. #8 Lehigh
Lots of question marks about both lineups, neither squad wants to give out much info. 125lbs: #13 Austin Assad (UM) vs. Darian Cruz (LU). Cruz owns a couple of bonus point wins over Assad already. I’ll take Cruz with bonus points in front of a home crowd. If Assad is out will Coach McFarland pull […]
Preview Maryland vs. #15 Rutgers
A young Maryland team comes to north Jersey to take on a buzzing Scarlet Knights wrestling team. Both teams will be missing some talent during the dual but after some quick observations this dual, which was originally slated for Yankee stadium, looks to serve up some B1G red meat to the Run fans. Look for […]

Penn State versus Rider Preview True-Wrestling coverage
Penn State travels to central New Jersey this Saturday for a dual meet with an unranked Rider team that is tougher than their ranking.

Here’s what I know so far this season.
1. The national title is up for grabs. This might be the most wide-open field in modern history. With all the factors accounted for (injuries, freshman adjustments, coaching up or down, peaking) I can see scenarios that could lead to 4-5 different teams winning the title in March. 2. The same can be said at […]
Penn vs. Lehigh Saturday 2 pm
This weekend Lehigh faces Penn and Rider a seemingly easier task than last week’s road trip to Illinois and Northwestern. November 30 Rider beat Penn 21-12. Penn hasn’t had a wrestler at 125lbs this season making the score a bit more exaggerated after the forfeit. #25 Rider def. Penn, 21-12 133: Caleb Richardson (Penn) DEC […]
