Iawrestle put out 3 keys to beating Michigan in their dual preview. I thought it was a nice change from what they had been doing. From the article

Keys for an Iowa Victory
1. Cory Clark’s return
2. Can Kemerer keep it going?
3. Will we see The Bull at 165?

I would agree with the first 2, but with bull not listed as a probable starter I guess #3 is off.

Only really need one, SHOW UP!

Michigan is redshirting 3 of their 4 best wrestlers, Youtsey hung his shoes up, and their weak spots also happen to be at Iowa's weak spots. The current UofM squad does not match up with Iowa at all. Wish both teams had a full, happy and healthy lineup. The below would have made for an exciting dual.

125:Gilman vs Youtsey 3-0 Iowa Gilman wins but Youtsey was game enough to keep it to a decision.
133:Clark vs. Micic 6-0 Iowa Micic is good enough to sneak one away from Clark as long as it isn't in March.
141:Carton vs. Fisher 9-0 Iowa I will give this to Iowa, but Fisher could easily win.
149:Sorenson vs. Pantaleo 12-0 Match of the night.
157:Kemerer vs. Murphy 15-0 Even though this will be the 5th straight win, all the matches could have been very close
165:Massa vs. Marinelli 15-4 As much as I like Marinelli he isn't ready for Massa yet.
174:Meyer vs. Amine 15-7 Iowa Meyer is too inconsistent and Amine is the kind of guy to win duals
184:Brooks vs. Abounader 18-7 Iowa They have had multiple razor thin matches.
197:Wilcke vs. Striggow 21-7 Iowa Another close match where Michigan's worst is a little worse than Iowa's.
285:Stoll vs. Coon 21-10 Iowa Match #2 of the night.

Although I would have Iowa winning by a comfortable score, Michigan could win at every weight without a major upset.
