    Lights on signal for NU's Green
    Lights on signal for NU's Green

    It's the best possible identity crisis for Nebraska wrestler James Green. Nearing the end of his freshman season, the 157-pounder looks back at the kid who arrived in Lincoln last summer. He could recognize his picture in the NU media guide. Little else, however, is the same. "It's not even close," he said. "That James Green in the summer is a stranger compared to now. It's been a long ride, but it's a lot different, a lot better."

    Nittany Lions roar early to subdue Huskers

    Second-ranked Penn State dominated the early matches Friday night to defeat seventh-ranked Nebraska 31-6 before a crowd of 2,673 at NU Coliseum. The Nittany Lions never trailed in the first five matches as they built a 20-0 lead. NU junior Ridge Kiley finally broke the drought in the sixth match by scoring three points in the final seconds to defeat Frank Martellotti 4-3 at 133 pounds. The crowd, subdued as the Huskers fell in early matches, erupted with Kiley’s late flurry.

    Top-five opponents will test NU in preview of postseason

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.With the No. 7 Nebraska wrestling team set to face a pair of top five-ranked opponents this weekend, it would be easy for Husker fans to dial up the hype to unprecedented levels. But NU's 184-pounder Josh Ihnen said while defending national champion Penn State and No. 4 Minnesota offer the Huskers a measuring stick for their ability, this weekend's outcomes won't be the full measure of Nebraska's season.

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.With a bandage at the top of his eye and gauze plugging both nostrils, Nebraska wrestler Jake Sueflohn returned to the mat last Sunday looking like he had already gone three rounds. With Sugar Ray Leonard. But no one who has seen the Huskers' freshman 141-pounder on the mat this year was too worried. It's well-known by now, if you're going to watch Jake Sueflohn wrestle, you're likely going to watch Jake Sueflohn bleed.

    Kokesh keeps focus, ready to rebound from loss to Hawkeye

    Premium ContentPremium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.On Wednesday afternoon, five days after a rare loss on the wrestling mat, Nebraska's Robert Kokesh finished his one-on-one workout with NU assistant Bryan Snyder, put on his headphones, climbed on to a stationary bike and started to pedal. Not in the mood for chatting, Kokesh began putting virtual miles on the bike and pedaled away from last Friday's 7-3 defeat at the hands of Iowa's Mike Evans. It was the first loss in a dual all year and just the third defeat overall for the Huskers' No.
