Husker QB Lord to start

? Nebraska quarterback Jammal Lord will start Saturday at Oklahoma State despite being charged with disturbing the peace.

Coach Frank Solich said Tuesday that Lord would be disciplined, but the misdemeanor ticket did not warrant any sort of suspension.

“I know that Jammal was issued one ticket. There was cooperation from that point on to my knowledge,” Solich said. “The system that we have in place and probably most systems around the country would not kick a young man out of playing or a starting role.”

Nebraska volleyball and basketball player Greichaly Cepero, who was at Lord’s apartment when police were called to it around 3 a.m. Sunday, was cited with disturbing the peace and failure to obey a police order. Police said Cepero grabbed at officers’ arms and pushed one officer away from Lord.

City prosecutor John McQuinn said charges were filed against both athletes Tuesday. Cepero was also charged with failing to obey a police order. The charges are misdemeanors with maximum fines of $500 and up to six months in jail.

Volleyball coach John Cook announced Cepero would not play tonight when NU plays at Oklahoma.
