LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska coach Bo Pelini says star defensive lineman Ndamukong (en-DOM-uh-ken) Suh (Soo) has been disciplined for getting a ticket for negligent driving - not for a violation of team rules - as a result of his ramming three parked cars with his sport utility vehicle.
Pelini said at a news conference Tuesday that the nature of Suh's discipline would be kept in-house.
Suh told police he swerved to avoid hitting a dog or cat crossing the street when his 2003 Land Rover hit the first of the cars on a narrow street in Lincoln early Sunday.
Suh had alcohol in his system, but he tested well below the legal limit.
Pelini has a zero-tolerance policy on alcohol-related offenses. But the coach says Suh was not drunk and that the crash was an accident.
