    Nebraska kicks off season with wrestle-offs

    Lincoln, Neb. -- The Nebraska wrestling team kicked off the 2010-11 season at the annual Red-White Wrestle-Offs on Friday, Nov. 5, at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The 12th-ranked Huskers welcomed over 200 wrestling coaches from the region, as the Wrestle-Offs were held in conjunction with the 2010 Fall Coaches Clinic.

    The Wrestle-Offs marked the return of senior Jordan Burroughs, who missed the majority of last season with a knee injury. The Sicklerville, N.J. native was dominant in his return going 2-0, while recording a fall (2:56) in his first match against Jerad Gubbels. In his second match, Burroughs defeated freshman Robert Kokesh by a 10-4 decision to finish his night.

    Burroughs, now a 165-pounder, is the school’s only undefeated national champion after finishing the 2008-09 season with a 35-0 record.

    Mike Koehnlein, a 141-pound senior, also won both of his matches on the night defeating Blake Meeks, 4-0, after he opened the night with a 11-2 major decision victory over freshman Chad Stroh. Koehnlein is one of the Huskers’ four returning national qualifiers after making the NCAA Tournament a season ago.

    True freshman Cody Magrew was impressive in his Nebraska debut, taking down redshirt freshman Mike Klinginsmith twice on the night. In their second match of the night, the 157-pound Magrew was able to escape with a 5-3 overtime win to collect his second win.

    Nebraska opens the 2010-11 regular season on Sunday, Nov. 21 at the Buckeye Duals in Columbus, Ohio, when the Huskers take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Huskers will also dual Pittsburgh the same day in double-header action. A complete list of results is below.
