The top two wrestling teams in the country collide tonight (Friday night) in Iowa City, when top ranked Penn State visits second ranked Iowa. The Hawkeyes put their 29-match win streak in duals on the line. Iowa coach Tom Brands.

A sold out crowd of nearly 15 thousand will be on hand at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

Brands says it will be up to the Hawkeyes to make the crowd a factor.

Iowa 197 pounder Jacob Warner says the Hawkeyes and Nittany Lions begin each season with the goal of winning an NCAA title.

Iowa 174-pounder Michael Kemerer says it has developed into a great rivalry.

Iowa opened the season top ranked but fell to second after three time national champion Spencer Lee had to cut his season short for ACL surgery on both knees.
