A cluster of 10 wrestlers, donning their blue warmups and waiting for the announcer to shout out each of their names, stood at the far right corner of the mat before Sunday’s meet with Michigan.

Nine of the 10 formed a huddle around the smallest grappler of the bunch and anticipated the sound of his name emanating across the gym. The 125-pound wrestler, Brad Pataky, stared off into space, shook his legs one after the other to loosen them and swerved his neck from side to side.

He prepared himself for the match the way he always does — with an intensity that can decide a Nittany Lion win or, conversely, put Penn State in an early hole.
