Friday s opener between the Huskers and Bulldogs is set for 8:05 p.m. (central) with games on Saturday (4:05 p.m.), Sunday (3:05 p.m.) and Monday (8:05 p.m.). On the Radio: Fans across Nebraska can listen to Greg Sharpe and Jeff Culhane call all of the action this weekend on the Husker Sports Network - including KLIN 1400 AM in Lincoln, KFAB 1110 AM in Omaha and KRVN 880 AM in Lexington - and on the Internet at Huskers.com. Saturday s game will be only on Huskers.com because of conflicts with men s and women s basketball. Preview: Nebraska looks to bounce back after a disappointing season that saw the Huskers miss the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in 11 years. The Huskers welcome back 18 letterwinners, including eight position players who made at least 20 starts in The returnees are led by All-Big 12 first baseman Tyler Farst, who hit.333 with three homers and 36 RBIs, and outfielder Adam Bailey, who batted.325 with 12 homers and 50 RBIs. Bailey topped the Huskers in homers, RBIs and slugging percentage (.598). Other returnees include infielders Kyle Bubak and Cody Asche, catcher Cory Burleson and outfielders DJ Belfonte, Boomer Collins and Khiry Cooper. On the mound, the Huskers welcome back nine pitchers, including five of the six hurlers who threw at last 50 innings last season. The returnees are paced by junior right-hander Mike Nesseth, who went 5-4 with two saves and struck out 73 over 64.2 innings last season. A 15th-round pick by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Nesseth returned for his junior season. Other veterans include Casey Hauptman, Sean Yost, Michael Mariot and Jordan Roualdes. In addition, the Huskers welcome a recruiting class that was ranked 13th nationally by Collegiate Baseball, which is the highest a Nebraska baseball recruiting class has been rated by the publication.

The other was in 2008 when NU began the season at Stanford. 3. Thursday s practice will mark the first time the Huskers have practiced outside since fall drills ended in October. It is the second time in three years the Huskers have been unable to get an outdoor practice in before the opener.
