Good dual,,,,I think Rutgers was missing there 97 and 57 pounder.

Rutgers is built more as a dual team. I will say this for the up coming weekend that Rutgers brings the physical style that is not very popular with the crowd but they bring some out and out plain nasty additude to the circle!

Yes, those two were out but the score could have easily been 27-8 for MN.

True but it could have been not so good the other way. I think the Gophers wrestled the best they have all year in this dual. Just my opinion.
