The euphoria over the team’s first BCS appearance faded, though, with news that quarterback Ell Roberson has been accused by a woman of sexually assaulting her at the team’s hotel.
The accusation was made early Thursday by a 22-year-old woman, Paradise Valley police Lt. Ron Warner said.
Kansas State athletic director Tim Weiser said it would be up to coach Bill Snyder whether Roberson, the Wildcats’ career total-offense record holder, would play tonight against Ohio State. Freshman Dylan Meier is the backup quarterback.
“I’ve known coach Snyder for several years now and I know he’ll do the right thing,” Weiser said.
If Roberson plays, the double-barreled running threat of the star quarterback and All-America running back Darren Sproles will present a major challenge to the Buckeyes.
