Today at the Schottenstein Center on the campus of Ohio State University, I was in attendance to witness a rematch of the fifth place match of the NWCA duals in which Ohio State beat Minnesota 21-12. However, today was much different. The Buckeyes lost some close matches that had went their way in the dual meet and lost to the Golden Gophers 18-16. The Buckeyes were winning 16-6 with four matches left in the dual, and lost by decision in each of the four matches ending the dual behind 18-16. With a 16-15 lead going into the final match of the evening undefeated and top ranked Buckeye Reece Humphrey took on fifth ranked Jayson Ness at 133 pounds. Ness dominated the bout this time around winning 5-0 and taking the win for the Golden Gophers.
The atmosphere at the match was unbelievable. To make things better, myself and the group I attended the dual with were sitting next to legendary Buckeye football player, and the only two time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin. A win would have made it that much better. The Buckeyes return to action next Sunday, February 8th at 5pm against Purdue at St. John's Arena.
