[Husker] Huskers beat OSU

It was fun to watch on ESPN-U, but I wondered why the announcers
were mostly following the Wisconsin - Oklahoma dual which took
place at the same time with a split screen instead of the matchup
of the #2 and #3 rated teams.

Talk about dominance, I think the all-time record is something like
3-48-5, with NU having only three all-time team wins and the last in
Stillwater more than 50 years ago.  (Those numbers are hear-say from
memory, but OSU has dominated the series.)

That said, this Husker team looks pretty good and only one, John May,
heavyweight, is a senior.  NU now may be the front runner for the
Big 12 title, which NU has never won (only 2 Big 8 titles in the
mid-1990s).  Still, it should be noted that Iowa beat NU 24-6 (winning
8 of 10 matches) in the finals of the National duals, so there are
peaks yet to climb.  If this team improves to next year, ... (but
Iowa has a young team too).

Maybe ESPN-U should do it next year from Omaha with NU - Iowa and
UNO - Northern Iowa.
