     The pitching, and especially the bullpen, has pretty much been the 
problem all year.  You can point to certain games where where the 
Huskers didn't hit but in baseball you have to look at stats over the 
long haul and not just for a few games here and there.  Walks and hit 
batters are part of the game.  It doesn't speak well about the 
pitching.  I think the Huskers are just going through a transition 
period right now.  They had their share of off the field distractions 
this years as well.  This team is still on a solid foundation.  We just 
need pitching basically.
