that he is really out for the game .... towards end of Rose Bowl heard Jon Sanders say something about Roberson but missed exactly what he said .... of course this is huge for KST if he is indeed not playing .... if the books come back out with a line Ohio State may be favored huh??
It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out. If Roberson does not play.....I will be curious to see how Ohio State matches up against K-State offense. The Buckeyes have been using 3rd string quarterback Troy Smith for about a month in practice, throwing a purple jersey on him and making him play the part of Ell Roberson. He apparently plays the part pretty well and the players have been preparing for Roberson for over a month now.
Of course K-State obviously is not the same team without him.....so hopefully this line will come out and the Bucks still get a few points if Ell is not playing.
I was all set on sitting this one out because I didnt think that my Bucks had a shot.....but I really think that something like this can destroy team chemisty and mindset going in........especially for college kids. I will take my Bucks if they are getting a field goal and Roberson is not playing.
Hey GENO, whats goin on buddy? Well......I guess I am trying to not have my blinders on in this game like I did for the Michigan game. I thought that we would cover 7 against them and I was dead wrong. I am not quite sure if we are ready for that dual threat attack that Ell Roberson can bring. No one in the Big 10 has anything like Roberson and we play the same defensive scheme as Oklahoma and we all know where that got em.
Dantonio is leaving and I am not quite sure where the players heads are in that regard either.
I think I am on the Buckeyes due to the Roberson issue. I think whether he plays or not.....this is going to have an adverse affect on how the players play in this game. Tressel is good at getting his players focused and they will have the edge in that department. If the Bucks are still catching a few points when the line comes back....I will jump on board.
Will be interesting what kind of line is posted if Roberson is out for this one. K St is not the same team without him, and lets face it the backups were not taking many snaps for this one. These backups were not very effective this year when Roberson was out, and that is when they were taking all the snaps and knew they would be the starter on Saturday. Really changes the game, and if OSU gets any points I'll be all over it.
charges are pending. he missed his curfew. personally, I think that he will play. Snyder is not going to keep him out of the biggest game of his career and K states.
