With a 41-3 against Michigan State Saturday, PSU clinched a share of the regular-season B1G Championship with Iowa. My recap and three takeaways at the link below.
1) Penn State salutes five seniors; three win big
2) Retherford, Nolf and Nickal each post five-takedown periods
3) Nevills notches first career win, anxious for more
LINK: PSU tops MSU, 42-3, earns B1G crown

In my seat at the top of Rec Hall for the final dual meet of the Big Ten season, as unbeaten Penn State hosts Michigan State, which lost to Lock Haven last night, 18-15.
My prediction for tonight's match?
Wins for everybody!!
141 could be a tough one, though, depending on which Gulibon shows up. Only lineup change that I've heard of so far is that Geno Morelli will go at 165.
