Team Records
The Hawkeyes (10-1, 4-1 Big Ten) look to bounce back after suffering their first loss of the season to No. 1 Penn State. Meanwhile, the Cornhuskers (9-2, 4-1 Big Ten) enter on a three-dual win streak.
Key Matchups
The most anticipated bout of the night comes at 149 pounds, featuring No. 2 Ridge Lovett (Nebraska) against No. 4 Kyle Parco (Iowa). Parco holds a 2-0 career advantage in their previous meetings.
What to Watch
Nebraska could build an early lead, being favored in four of the first five matches. However, Iowa's strength in the upper weights, including No. 2 Michael Caliendo (165), No. 6 Patrick Kennedy (174), and No. 1 Stephen Buchanan (197), could prove decisive.
Historical Context
Iowa leads the all-time series 37-10-1 and has won 15 straight against the Cornhuskers. The Hawkeyes won last year's meeting 22-10 in Lincoln, though both teams feature significantly different lineups this season.
