With a traditional 125lb start, I like our chances of squeaking by if we are up at the half.

Eight guys ranked third or higher. Yikes!

Seriously, that is rather daunting for any opposing team/coach/fans. If you're trying to formulate a gameplay to beat PSU in a dual, it's pretty much impossible, unless PSU has an unusual combo of illnesses, injuries, not making weight, etc.

There are always surprises, unexpected events, etc. in every season. And we've yet to learn if any PSU wrestlers will take an Olympic redshirt. With those caveats, it's shaping up to be a season that we're going to really enjoy.
