Penn State vs Nebraska Preview
The Nittany Lions are 6-1 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten in dual matches, most recently besting the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 38-6 at home on Sunday. Penn State won all but two bouts.
“Just like any other year it’s whoever scores the most points wins,” Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson said, according to the Daily Collegian. “For them individually, if you want to be a national champion, you’ve just got to score more points than your opponent and you’ve got to do that five times. So it’s not easy, but we want to make things as simple as possible.”
Penn State’s Shakur Rasheed — ranked No. 19 at 197 pounds by InterMat — defeated No. 20 Jordan Pagano, a former Nittany Lion, 6-0.
“That was my boy,” Rasheed said, per the Daily Collegian. “We bet each other a PB&J that I would weigh more than him, so I owe him a PB&J now. We’re really cool.”
Rasheed was an All-American in 2017-18, when he placed seventh in the NCAA championships at 197 pounds. He missed most of the 2018-19 season with a torn ACL.
“That’s why I came here — to win a national title,” Rasheed said, per the Daily Collegian. “I love my teammates, I love my coaches but I came here to win a national title. It’s been a blessing to build these relationships but coming out of high school I wasn’t thinking I’m gonna go to Penn State to make these relationships I wouldn’t think I’d have — I came here to win national titles so of course I was gonna come back another year.”
The Huskers have dropped two consecutive dual matches to fall to 5-2 on the year and 0-2 in conference action. On Saturday, they succumbed to the top-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes 26-6 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Nebraska managed just two victories: At 141 pounds, No. 8 Chad Red Jr. bested No. 9 Max Murin 6-2, and in the 197-pound class, No. 8 Eric Schultz topped No. 6 Jacob Warner 3-1.
Red, a two-time All-American, finished in eighth place in the NCAA championships last season.
“I don’t want to go to nationals again and get second or third, or seventh or whatever,” Red said in November, according to The Daily Nebraskan. “I plan on leaving with a trophy in my hand.”
He added: “I’m not going to hesitate to go after anyone, no matter what. I’m always going to stay aggressive and hungry. No one is going to stop me this year. I’m getting that trophy; I’m going to win.”
