STILLWATER - The No. 2 Oklahoma State wrestling team defeated No. 3 Nebraska, 27-6, Friday night at Gallagher-Iba Arena in front of a sellout crowd of 12,527.

The win is the largest margin of victory in a home top-three dual since the Pokes' 39-0 win over No. 3 Michigan State on December 14, 1996. It improves the Cowboys to 54-4-1 against the Cornhuskers in their 100-plus year history. The Cowboys are now 2-0 this season, while Nebraska falls to 1-1.

"That's the standard," coach David Taylor said. "Tonight is the standard; everyone we wrestle, no matter who it is. It is worth your drive to watch this team compete. We're special; it is really special."

The crowd is the sixth crowd of 10,000-plus fans during David Taylor's tenure as head coach.

The Cowboys went 8-2 in their matches, earning bonus points in two and allowing only two takedowns for the entirety of the dual, backing up their performance against Drexel when they didn't allow any. The match also marks David Taylor's 30th career dual win, with the Cowboys improving to 15-0 at GIA with Taylor at the helm. Every home win in the Taylor era has been by a margin of 15 or more points.

The story of the night came in the opening bout, with OSU's 125-pound freshman Rocklin Zinkin pulling off the upset over No. 4 Vincent Robinson. Zinkin improved to 6-0 on the season and 2-0 against ranked opponents. Zinkin handed the junior just his fifth career dual loss.

Jax Forrest (133) continued his season with a 21-6 tech fall win in 6:00 over No. 8 Jacob Van Dee to earn the first two bonus points for the team. Forrest logged six takedowns and improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 against ranked opponents this season. The tech fall victory is already Forrest's 14thin his short career.

No. 15-ranked 141-pounder Jayden Raney won his match by a major decision with a score of 10-2 to improve the freshman to 4-0 on the season.

Five Cowboys won their matches by decision. No. 2 Sergio Vega (149) defeated No. 5 Anthony Enchemendia 4-2 to rise to 3-0 against Enchemendia, with this being the first installment at 149 pounds.

At 157 pounds, No. 1 Landon Robideau faced No. 3 Antrell Taylor in an NCAA final rematch. The bout ended with a score of 3-1 in favor of the Cowboy, improving Robideau to 2-1 over Taylor. Casey Swiderski (165), Mikey White (184) and Cody Merrill (197) all won their bouts by decision to improve their records to 4-0, 4-0, and 4-1, respectively.

174-pounder Lorenzo Norman and heavyweight Dreshaun Ross dropped their matches by decision to No. 2 Christopher Minto and No. 14 Cade Ziola, respectively.

Next up, the Cowboys head out on their first road trip of the season to No. 14 Arizona State at Desert Financial Arena on Friday, November 20 at 7 p.m. CT.
