Nah - they are not strong at upperweights and Parco did beat Lovett last time they wrestled.
Can see them winning 3 matches, maybe 4 if Teemer is extremely rusty coming back from injury (but even that is a reach).
Good match. Someone mentioned hell week and some did appear to be getting winded in the 3rd. Not worried about any losses as they can be turned around easily. We did have some close wins that were not dominant that would be good to sure up... hate matches that can come down to a td at the end and lose...
Kasak surprised me - would have liked a committed attach in the 3rd but he looked winded. SVN will be fine next time around... got to get that feel. Davis will learn from this as well. He saw that his dble was a good shot... that was a good finish. He looked winded as well. Good match - scored over 30!

Yeah, it’s that John Broughton guy—he does good work.
I agree with a W for Iowa, though I’d give Nebbie more credit at 149 and, who knows,
maybe a puncher’s chance at 133 and 285. Kueter showed less than I expected tonight — that was a bad loss for a guy who should be climbing.
I really liked the way he was pushing for the tf when he was clearly tired.
Especially since he was probably there all
week and looking forward to graduating tonight.
I think Nebraska would be better with Minto at 165 & Wilson, Pinto & Allred all up a weight, instead of eating air. Minto looked solid when Wilson was out & Flo had him at #13 in their last rankings.

My .02 -
1. kudos to Nebby. Most of them came to wrestle. After watching Illinois’ effort v Iowa it was refreshing. Seemed like a good environment and great crowd.
2. Davis panicked. Got it to 9-6 w 1/2 the match left and went for a silly big move. Good learning for him.
3. SHOCKED at SVN. I expected him to tear him up, but Lovett was impressive. Second time will be different.

My take on SVN..he needed/wanted to feel Lovett on top. Take neutral next time and pick him apart on his feet. Good learning match
The losses suck but I wouldn’t in a million years put our guys’ chances any lower in March because of them. At least every guy got after it, even if a bit sloppy in spots. It sure beat the living hell out of the Iowa - Illinois dual from a meaningful action standpoint.
Nebraska made a commitment to guys dropping down a weight class. They did look bigger than the PSU wrestlers and some were stronger.
The question is how they do with 2 more months of cutting weight.
Can we talk about Nick Lee’s ear?
In March the 3 days of cutting and multiple matches will show up.
Seeing a few people say Van Ness will take neutral next time and win.
Shayne took bottom tonight and won that period 2-0 on a reversal.
He lost the match because he gave up the only takedown.
To win the rematch, be better on feet.

Great environment, got to give Huskers credit, they have an awesome intro for their wrestlers, Good test for PSU, PSU always pushing the pace, great matches at a number of weights!
Like Tyson bit it off and someone stapled it back on
Agreed. He needed to finish that 1st takedown and set the pace. Shayne didn't seem like he was pushing the pace tonight. He will in March.
Yep. SVN had two great chances for a TD in the first period but Lovett, to his credit, scrambled out of both. The first period ending 0-0 was a definite win for Lovett.
Kasak looked really good I take back what I said but Davis still has me worried!
I was wondering why they called the tech in Mitchs match, well I guess Mitch was too. Lol he was not happy about it.
Davis did not manage the match well, should have recognized a takedown and ride at the end of 1st was good enough, got greedy for a tilt. Then for some reason didn't push end of 2nd.
Goes big with over a minute left in a 10-6 match.
