Rutgers-Ohio State wrestling preview, prediction: Scarlet Knights have path to breakthrough win
Updated Jan 23, 2021;
Rutgers has another shot at knocking off a member of the Big Ten’s upper echelon, and this may be its best yet.
Scott Goodale calls them the “big four.” While Nebraska has been a top-10 fixture in recent seasons and Michigan looks like a national title threat this year, the conference has been dominated by Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio State and Penn State in the last decade. Those programs have combined to win the last 13 national championships (and Iowa would have been the heavy favorite to make it 14 if not for the coronavirus pandemic last year).

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will compete against teams from Rutgers and Penn State universities Saturday at the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.

The women’s meet will begin at 10 a.m. and the men’s meet will begin at 2 p.m. The meets are not open to the public.
Dorenkott is in his 13th year at Ohio State and his fourth year as director of men’s and women’s swimming and diving. His programs are among the best, if not the best, in the Big Ten Conference. Consider:
