Final Score Prediction

Rutgers 9
Penn State Wrestling 25

As long as there are no surprise scratches from either side, this dual meet should be a fairly low-scoring affair with not many opportunities for either team to score many bonus points.

But if you’ve read enough of my articles then you know I’ve been wrong before.

In the end, the top-end talent and deep roster for the Nittany Lions will be too difficult for Rutgers to keep the score close. Let alone win.
