Cornhusker Star Ndamukong Suh ticketed for negligent driving
Suh blows .035 BAC after hitting 3 cars

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska star nose tackle Ndamukong Suh has been ticketed for negligent driving after he hit three parked cars on a narrow Lincoln street.
Police Capt. David Beggs said Suh had been drinking before the accident, which occurred at 2:20 a.m. Sunday, but his blood-alcohol level of .035 was well below the legal limit of .08.
Suh, who was driving a 2003 Land Rover sport-utility vehicle, said he struck the first vehicle after he swerved to avoid hitting a small dog or cat crossing the street.
An accident report showed the Land Rover careened off the first vehicle, then hit two others on the other side of the street.
There were no injuries. Suh's Land Rover sustained an estimated $10,000 in damage.
Most people might think after a week where Husker DT Jared Crick won NCAA Defensive Player of the Week that Crick's five sacks would be my favorite stat. But this week my favorite stat is .035, which was Ndamukong's Suh's BAC after his wreck Saturday night. Suh is the only thing keeping Nebraska above the mystical line of respectability. If they lose him, they lose heart and ultimately become irrelevant in any national discussion.
So when I first heard that Suh had gotten a DUI Saturday my impulse was to run screaming down the aisle at HEB, crawl in the beer cooler and start pounding beers. Fortunately, Suh was mostly sober and beat the breathalyzer. I don't have to slit my wrists just yet. GO BIG RED!
