*Opponent Preview - Northwestern** Games 46-48

8 SOs, with at least half with runners in scoring position.  Pathetic.  Erstad was a great player, but he is a bad coach.  Without Silva, we would be in last place.  We can actually have a losing record by the end of the year.

 
Never in my weirdest dreams would I have predicted that kind of game 1.  Still a winnable series, obviously, but man, the excuses are wearing real thin.

 
I guess I'm not surprised ...since the bats have been dormant for a month now...
I don't feel like they were ever doing that great.  Even in the much hyped wins over Texas Tech and Baylor, 2 of those 3 wins were by scores of 2-0 and 2-1.  With Northwestern being 11th in the conference, and that being the average ranking of the 3 series wins Nebraska has in conference play, I figured 4 or 5 runs would be doable in each game at least.  But oh boy, did I overestimate this coaching staff's ability to keep a team mentally focused  <_<
