Rutgers vs Hofstra/Nebraska Predictions

[bigmatt718]

After a too close for comfort win vs UNC, we get a tune up match vs Hofstra before a trip to Lincoln vs an always tough Nebraska squad. I'm thinking we will see some backups, namely at 184 vs Hofstra as they will post zero threat to us in terms of a team upset. Nebraska will be another evenly matched dual where it could come down to bonus points, just like UNC. Here goes:

Hofstra

125 Suriano: TF, RU 5-0
133 DelVecchio: MD, RU 9-0
141 MVB Win, RU 12-0
149 DeLuca MD, RU 16-0
157 JVB MD, RU 20-0
165 Lewis MD, RU 24-0
174 Grello Win, RU 27-0
184 Pagano Win, RU 30-0
197 Messner Win, RU 33-0
HVY Gross Lose by Fall, RU 33-6

Nebraska:

125: Suriano MD, RU 4-0
133: DelVecchio Win, RU 7-0
141: MVB Lose, RU 7-3
149: DeLuca vs McCrystal will be a good one. On the road though I'm picking a loss. RU 7-6
157: JVB Lose, Neb 9-7
165: Lewis Win, RU 10-9
174: Grello Win, RU 13-9
184: Gravina pulls through. RU 16-9
197: Mulligan Lose, RU 16-12
HVY: Gross Lose, RU 16-15 final.

165-184 will be tough matches for Lewis, Grello & Gravina.It can really go either way.

133 freshman for Nebraska Renteria is pretty good.DelVecchio cannot take him lightly.

I say Mulligan wrestles both. He wrestled against UNC and the very next day in the Shorty Hitchcock Tourn. He needs wins to build record. I doubt they sit him.

I don't see Gravina beating Venz. Venz now around #7, and wrestling very well, Nick not at 100 per cent it seems, his ranking has dropped to around 18.

How about a pin or two on Friday for the Pin Pool? $$$$
