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.
