#1 Penn State vs
#8 Illinois

133 PSU #5 v IL #2

157 PSU #3 v IL #1

165 PSU #16 v IL #6

174 PSU #1 v IL #5

On paper, PSU should win 6.
But with ranked guys, upsets can certainly happen.

This is where winning some of the other matches with Team Bonus Points may be a big factor in the outcome of the dual.
Example:
If it comes down to 5 wins for both teams, the bonus points may be the edge.

======

157 is the big match everyone wants to see.

Both wrestlers undefeated 20-0.
Both dominating their matches.

Many think IL's IMar (eye-Mar)
Isaiah Martinez may have the edge in their first meeting, as PSU's Jason Nolf is developing.

IMar is a bit older, added more muscle and already a national champ. But, PSU's Jason Nolf is a first year phenom, much like IMar was last year.

IMar - 2015 BT & NCAA Champs as a Frosh last season:

• First Undefeated freshman to win NCAA title since Cael Sanderson (Iowa State, 1999)

But now Cael is guiding undefeated PSU Frosh Phenom Jason Nolf.


We will see...​
