Penn State vs Iowa Wrestling used to be the rivalry that defined the sport — now, it’s a showcase for the Nittany Lions’ dynasty. Host Zach Seyko and Joe Smeltzer (Nittany Sports Now) preview Friday’s dual at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, explaining why a shutout isn’t out of the question and how Iowa’s reliance on transfers hurt long-term development. They also break down key matchups (Rocco Welsh vs Angelo Ferrari, Lilledahl vs Dean Peterson, Cole Mirasola vs Ben Kueter) and provide an important update on Aaron Nagao’s injury and what it means for Penn State’s lineup moving forward.
