#4 Iowa at #2 Ohio State Breakdown
It's going to take a miracle for Iowa to takedown Ohio State at home, they just don't have the depth it takes. Can they make it close? It will take some bonus points from Iowa's guns, and possibly and upset here or there. Joey McKenna looks prime for an upset by the hands of Vincent Turk judging by the their performances in their respective duals last Sunday. Of course the main event of the afternoon will be #6 Lee vs. #1 Tomasello. The 125 pound match will be tight through the first two periods, with Lee possibly holding a lead, but NATO's gas tank and pace will be too much for the true freshman to hang onto any sort of victory. If I was betting a beer or two with my buddies, I would take Iowa and the points for this dual. Iowa has some upset potential at a couple of weights, as well as some bonus points are in the realm of possibility for the Hawks.
