"11-14-15." Only time will tell the complete story of how significant those 6 digits will be.

Remarkable days in time are measured by their impact far beyond those 24 hours. The stage is set. This Saturday, college wrestling's two most storied programs collide when the top ranked Cowboys of Oklahoma State invade the heartland to battle No. 4 Iowa at Kinnick Stadium.

At 165 for Oklahoma State looms the preseason favorite for the Dan Hodge Trophy, two-time NCAA champion Alex Dieringer. The senior is a bonus points machine. He scored bonus points in 28 of his 33 wins last season. Dieringer is a combined 65-1 the last two seasons, his last loss coming back in January, 2014 to Iowa's Derek St. John in the Iowa/Oklahoma State dual inside Carver Hawkeye Arena. It will be a tough task for either Patrick Rhoades or Burke Paddock to keep Dieringer from scoring bonus points.
