Oregon wide receiver Cristin McLemore and a friend were acquitted of disorderly conduct charges in Portland, stemming from a traffic stop in May.

Multnomah County District Judge Julie Frantz said the prosecution failed to prove that the two men recklessly impeded traffic, as was charged.

McLemore, 22, and his friend Craig Bell, 23, both of Eugene, were arrested early in the morning of May 28 in a residential area of north Portland.

McLemore said the two had tried to ask police why they had stopped a car containing some friends.

Tommie Frazier, who missed most of Nebraska’s national championship season last year because of surgery for blood clots, will start at quarterback for the Cornhuskers in next week’s season opener.

Coach Tom Osborne announced his decision, saying Frazier graded out better in films than Brook Berringer, who took over for most of the year. Both played in the Orange Bowl win over Miami that gave Osborne his first national title.
