Ben Askren vs Jake Herbert | 2006 MATCH REACTION

Before they wrestled on Olympic teams, Ben Askren and Jake Herbert squared off in college (watch here).

This was the most-anticipated matchup at the 2006 NCAA Championships!

Both Askren and Herbert were undefeated and neither had won an NCAA title yet. Following this match, both would win two titles and a Hodge (Askren actually won two).

So did this match live up to the hype?
