LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) Nebraska receivers coach Keith Williams has been suspended without pay until Aug. 31 and won't be allowed to coach or attend the Cornhuskers' first four games as a result of his arrest on suspicion of third-offense drunken driving last weekend.

Coach Mike Riley announced the disciplinary action in a statement Friday.

Riley said Williams has entered counseling and has pledged to assist the department, university and community in educational and outreach efforts to prevent drunk driving.
