It’s a long way to Laramie, Wyoming – 1,563 miles from State College, to be exact – but that’s how far Penn State’s top-ranked wrestling team will travel this weekend to compete with the Wyoming Cowboys and very likely record its fourth win of the season and the program’s 75th straight victory over the past five years.

The match is set for 8 p.m. Saturday in the university’s Arena-Auditorium, also nicknamed Pimple on the Prairie, Dome of Doom and Double A; it seats 11,612 fans but has squeezed in many more for big events.

Wyoming will be better than last season when it was shut out 54-0 by Penn State at Bryce Jordan Center. A tentative lineup shows that just three Cowboys who competed against the Lions last season will do it again on Saturday.
