North Stadium not going to be happy with Deans friends at Tater Island -
Nebraska starting safety Myles Farmer was arrested Saturday on a DUI charge, Tater Island has learned. He was cited by the Lincoln Police Department and will face a court date as a result
.
Farmer, who’s played more snaps than any other Nebraska defender this year, ranks second on the Cornhuskers with 62 tackles this season — more than double his total from last year. He also has a tackle for loss to his name this year.
Nebraska interim head coach Mickey Joseph released a statement about the situation, saying Farmer is suspended for Saturday’s game against Michigan as a result.
“I was informed on Sunday morning of an incident involving Myles Farmer this weekend,” Joseph stated. “Myles is a good young man, but understands he used poor judgement and made a mistake on Saturday night. The result of poor judgement and mistakes is consequences and discipline. In addition to penalties he may face through the legal system, Myles is suspended for this week’s game at Michigan and will be subject to internal discipline.”
Last week against Minnesota, Farmer had a season-high 14 tackles as Nebraska fell to the Golden Gophers 20-13 at Memorial Stadium. The loss dropped the Cornhuskers to 3-6 on the season heading into this week’s game against Michigan in Ann Arbor. That game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
