Our dual against Ok State could be ugly. We don't match up well at all.
The Cowboys' beat down of OU made me think about our dual with them. After Pitt we obviously know where the strength is in our lineup, but here are OSU's lower five:
125: Troy Spratley, a top 10 guy who tore Eddie up in last year's dual and beat him in NCAA semis (6-4 in SV).
133: Jax Forrest beat Aaron Seidel twice last season in high school, 11-4 and 7-1 (I'd love to see this match and think Aaron could beat him, but expect Dillon Campbell to be our guy here this season).
141: #2 Sergio Vega was the #1 ranked recruit out of high school last year and started this season undefeated.
149: #18 Casey Swiderski was the #3 ranked recruit out of high school a few years ago and AA in 2023-24 at Iowa State, going 24-5. Injured all of last season and transferred to OSU.
157: #6 Landon Robideau, a true freshman and top-20 recruit out of high school.
I won't even talk about165/174/184, and at 197/HWT it's #8 Cody Merrill and #7 Konner Doucet. A shutout is possible.

I'd guess that's true, but don't think OSU needs Jax to sell out at home.
