Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Huskers are a team that looks a lot like Texas heading into the 2006 season. Having lost 5 of 9 offensive starters from the team that went to Omaha last year. Nebraska will need suburb pitching to carry them until they can find some bats. Good news for the Huskers is they have Plenty of arms, including 3 preseason all Americans in Dorn, Chamberlain and Duensing. This probably won’t be enough for a Big 12 title for the Big Red, but they look good for a spot in Omaha.
