On Sunday afternoon, Penn State dominated every aspect of their Big Ten dual opener against Indiana. They won by an astonishing score of 46-0, scoring bonus points in every match but one and without giving up a single takedown across all 10 matches.

Outside of 184, where Josh Barr wrestled in place for usual starter Bernie Truax, the Penn State lineup was in full force. Truax would have been coming off a loss to #4 Trey Munoz of Oregon State. Barr picked up a 13-4 major decision over Roman Rogotzke, who transferred to Indiana this season from South Dakota State.

Freshmen Braeden Davis and Mitchell Mesenbrink remained undefeated on the season - Davis with a 16-3 major decision and Mesenbrink by injury default.

If the performance of the night doesn't go to Barr, it goes to freshman Tyler Kasak. He has continued to impress since moving up to 149 after starter Shayne Van Ness without a season-ending injury. Today he defeated #22 Graham Rooks 15-0.
