LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska coach Bo Pelini, who left Memorial Stadium by ambulance in the middle of Saturday's 42-13 win against Arkansas State, has been released from a Lincoln hospital after undergoing tests.

Pelini fell ill during the first half, and a member of the Nebraska medical staff was seen checking Pelini's pulse.

"Everything is fine," Pelini said in a statement. "They ran some precautionary tests and everything checked out just fine. I plan to be back at work tomorrow. I'm proud of our team and coaching staff for the way they responded this afternoon."

Pelini stayed on the sideline the rest of the half and was taken to a hospital after doctors treated him in the locker room.

Nebraska spokesman Keith Mann said Pelini was released from the hospital Saturday night after undergoing tests.

Defensive coordinator John Papuchis led the team onto the field for the third quarter and shared head coaching duties with offensive coordinator Tim Beck.
