A few days after leading the Nebraska baseball team to a Big Ten regular-season championship, Darin Erstad was named the league's coach of the year Tuesday.
After finishing second three times in six seasons, the Huskers broke through last weekend at Penn State, sealing the season title with a 21-3 win against the Nittany Lions.
The Huskers are 34-18-1 (16-7-1 in the Big Ten) this season, and that included seven of eight Big Ten series. Erstad is 210-137-1 in six seasons at Nebraska.
Earlier this year Erstad became just the fifth head coach in program history to total 200 wins and is four wins shy of tying Dave Van Horn for fourth place on the all-time wins list.
