Sanders said he docs not anticipate
a letdown even though all six games
will occur in the midst of the Big
Eight season. He said Nebraska needs
to lakes its games against the Bears
seriously.
“We need to eliminate the menial
aspectofit,” he said, “and just goout
and play.”
Sanders said Nebraska is not set
ting any definite goals for its homes
tand even though it has dominated all
three opponents. The Huskers all-time
record against Northern Colorado,

Weight lifter of the Year last Satur
day, and free safeties Will Thomas
and Steve Carmer.
Those players, Darlington said, will
give the Huskcrs increased depth going
into fall practice.
Next season’s non-conference
schedule doesn’t include any stand
out passers, like last season’s game
against Utah’s Scott Mitchell, who is
projected as a first-round pick in the
National Football League draft.
But nevertheless, Darlington said,
there are some concerns.
The Huskcrs open the season Sept.
1 against Baylor, a game that will be
nationally televised by ESPN. The
Bears have a new offensive coordina
tor, who was at Clemson last season.
Darlington said this causes the Husk
crs preparation problems.
“We’re just not sure what to pre
pare for against them,’’ he said. “We’ll
have to prepare for both (the run and
pass).”
The other three non-conference
opponents -- Northern Illinois, Ore
gon State and Minnesota - have good
passing schemes, but ‘‘might not have
the athletes to get the job done.”
After Nebraska’s loss to Florida
Stale in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, the
Husker secondary was the target of a
barrage of criticism. Darlington said
he doesn’t plan any major changes in
the way the defensive backficid is
structured, but hopes for improve
ments in the w ay his players execute.
Orioles favored for AL East title;
Royals, Angels tough in AL West
After about a month of arguing,
the baseball owners and players fi
nally settled their differences and the
season has begun - although it was a
week late.
This is the time of year when hope
springs eternal. The lime when Chi
cago Cub and Cleveland Indians fans
VP- Nick
V Hytrek
think that maybe this just might be
the year when they make it to the
World Series.
It also is the time of year when
everyone has an opinion of who will
win and who won’t. So here arc some
personal predictions.
First, the American League East.
• Baltimore
The Orioles had the best defense
last year, and that will continue into
this season. Baltimore also had many
young pitchers last year that will
improve with a year’s experience,
especially Omaha-native Gregg Olson.
The O’s don’t have a lot of power,
but their pitching and defense will
take them to the East title.
• Toronto
Toronto is most people’s presca
son pick. The Blue Jays arc very
similar to Baltimore in that they have
strong pitching and defense, but they
have the benefit of having more power
in their lineup.
The problem with Toronto is that
it usually finds some way to screw up
and blow its pennant hopes.
• New York
The Yankce’s biggest problem the
past few years has been pitching. This
year they have taken a step in the right
direction and picked up three starters
who arc proven winners.
If the starters fail, the Yankees
have a strong bullpen to come to the
rescue. If Dave Winfield can return to
form after a year off. New York will
have an explosive offense to go with
a steady defense.
• Boston
The Red Sox have only two qual
ity starling pitchers in Roger Cle
mens and Mike Boddicker, but the
rest of the rotation is questionable.
Starting pitching will kill the Red Sox
by September.
• Cleveland
The Indians made many moves
during the off-season to improve them
selves. Cleveland also had the best
combined ERA of any pitching staff
in the division last year and should be
just as good this year.
Look for the Indians to move up a
little but they won’t challenge for a
pennant
• Milwaukee
The Brewers have many older
players who are coming off injuries
and arc questionable. They also played
the worst defense in the league.
Milwaukee’s success will hinge
on whether or not it can stay healthy.
• Detroit
The Tigers are slicking with their
veterans which is not smart since they
had the worst record in baseball last
year. Detroit has few young players
to come up and make an impact this
year.
Their pitching staff is old and will
lake its lumps again this year.
Now, on to the American League
West.
• Kansas City
The Royals picked up pitchers Mark
and Storm Davis to go with an al
ready strong pitching staff. Their
offense wasn’t the most productive
last year, but the potential is there to
score a lot of runs.
• California
The Angels also strengthened a
strong pitching staff by signing Mark
Langston. California icd the Ameri
can League in home runs last year but
had poor run production.
With pitching like this, though,
who needs to score a lot?
• Oakland
The A’s lost three quality players
in Storm Davis, Dave Parker and Tony r
Phillips. The key to thcii season will
I ie i n ovcrcom ing the absence of those
three. 1
Oakland is strong in every other
category but the rest of the division 1
unproved while the A’s remained the
same.
• Texas s
Nolan Ryan is back to lead the
Rangers’ staff. But after Ryan, the
staff is weak.
Texas has a solid offense with a lot 1
of power but will not be able to show
case it against the superior pitching of i
the rest of the division.
• Seattle i
The Mariners finally arc on their
way up With several young players
they are not yet ready to challenge foi t
the division title but will gain valu
able experience for seasons to come.
• Minnesota
The Twins’ oncc-dominant pitch
ing staff has disappeared and become 3
a question mark since they traded
Frank Viola to the Mcts last year. 3
Minnesota has a powerful offense,
but will have to try to oulscorc oppo
nents this year because of their pilch- 1
ing woes. s
• Chicago s
The White Sox arc young and have s
a lot of unproven players on their 1
roster. Relief pitching is their strong
point since they have many young
starters.
Home run production will have to d
rise for Chicago to have any success.
Next week: The National League.

normal starting lineup includes two
freshmen, three sophomores and
another sophomore who sometimes
pitches.

said he seldom had those problems
with his more-experienced teams.
“They didn’t get distracted,’’ he
said. “They just did whatever it look
to win the ball game. More seasoned
players realize they are going to make
an error and just find a way to over
come it.’’
In today s opener, Wolforth said
he hopes to overcome Miami, a team
that upset the Huskers 3-1 at the Flor
ida Stale invitational. >c
He said Miami is a team that
Nebraska should not lose to and that *’
he is looking for revenge against the
Redskins. d
The Huskers enter the tournament
with a 19-12 record after a double- '
header sweep Wednesday night of '
Wichita State. Nebraska crushed the
Shockers 6-0 and 2-0.
