Can anybody beat Penn State?
Cael Sanderson’s wrestling program definitely has reached dynasty status with the Nittany Lions winning eight of the last nine NCAA team titles. Penn State lost superstars Bo Nickal and Jason Nolf from its recent championship squad, but the Nittany Lions still return plenty of firepower, including four national champions for the 2019-20 season. Penn State is expected to battle Big Ten rival Iowa for the top spot when the 2020 NCAA Championships are contested this March at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. With a number of top wrestlers taking Olympic redshirts this season, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out. There could be some surprise teams contending for trophies this year with Wisconsin, Nebraska, Arizona State, Iowa State and Northern Iowa looking to field strong teams this season.
