Nebraska is featured in D1baseball.com's Weekend Preview

Anyone who watched Darin Erstad during his playing career should not be surprised by his coaching philosophy. The consummate hard-nosed, blue-collar grinder, Erstad was famous for running into walls and playing the game at full speed every single day. His focus on the little details was unwavering.

Erstad isn’t the type to get caught up in big-picture talk. You’re not going to get Erstad, Nebraska’s head coach, to talk up the importance of a big weekend series, like this week’s Big Ten showdown at No. 17 Maryland. You can try — but he just isn’t interested in talking about stakes, or even talking about his opponent.
 
Today's game will be tough. Shawaryn is a beast. I like the kubat matchup and burkamper is a toss up. I would be ecstatic to win this series.
