Penn State vs Michigan Officially On For Valentine's Day
Penn State vs Michigan Officially On For Valentine's Day
After being postponed earlier this season due to a University of Michigan athletic department shutdown, Michigan-Penn State has been rescheduled for Sunday.
After being postponed earlier this season due to a University of Michigan athletic department-wide pause, Penn State-Michigan has been rescheduled for Sunday at 11 AM ET in Ann Arbor. We speculated it could happen on Wednesday's FRL and today it became official when both teams took to Twitter to announce the dual.

Projected Penn State Lineup
125: Robert Howard/Baylor Shunk
133: #3 Roman Bravo-Young
141: #3 Nick Lee/Beau Bartlett
149: #16 Jarod Verkleeren/Luke Gardner/Bo Pipher/Beau Bartlett/Terrell Barraclough
157: #11 Brady Berge/Bo Pipher
165: #14 Joe Lee/Mason Manville
174: #7 Carter Starocci/Mason Manville/Creighton Edsell
184: #5 Aaron Brooks
197: #13 Michael Beard
285: #13 Seth Nevills/Greg Kerkvliet
Don't expect to see Greg Kerkvliet as Head Coach Cael Sanderson said earlier this week that he likely won't compete this season due to injury. As you can see by all of the potential wrestlers, Sanderson also said that 149 is still up for grabs. The Nittany Lions have yet to wrestle a match at 125 this season, and blue chip recruit Robby Howard is expect to get the start.
The Wolverines will wrestle for the first time since January 17 when they take on rival Ohio State on Friday night. They wrestled their potential lineup as well earlier this week.
Projected Michigan Lineup
125: #15 Dylan Ragusin/Jack Medley
133: #15 at 125 Dylan Ragusin/Jack Medley
141: Drew Mattin
149: #8 Kanen Storr
157: #8 Will Lewan
165: #18 Cam Amine
174: #2 Logan Massa
184: Jaden Bullock/Joseph Walker
197: Andrew Davison
285: #2 Mason Parris
While we don't see Stevan Micic or Myles Amine listed in this probably lineup, there's still a possibility we see them in the lineup for the Wolverines. The All-Americans are working the way back from injury. The biggest question is what weight will Amine go? Last summer, Amine told us that he wanted to wrestle above his 86kg Olympic weight, but he is also certified for 184, and that is currently where we have him ranked #1 in the country.
If you can't watch the dual live on the Big Ten Network on Sunday, we'll have you covered with a live blog of all of the action!
