Man, this sucks.....very sad to hear. If I'm not mistaken, and I very well might be, wasn't he the punt returner for us on that horrible night in Fresno when they cheap shotted him a yard before the ball got there and took him out of the game? Seems like it broke his wrist or something....
**Went back and checked; it was. Amazingly you can find that entire game online. Ran into his brother at the Richmond Costco once a couple years later...he saw my OSU shirt and got all excited saying his brother was Roberts....seemed like a real cool kid as well. Awful news.

Terrible news. I never forgot that cheap shot or the way Dennis exacted revenge, they looked over to the Fresno sideline and nodded at coach pat hill as if to say we are even. Sad day for beaver nation, prayers to the family |

Sad day for beaver nation, prayers to the family Anyone else remember that 2002 game in Corvallis? I'll never forget the energy. Classic Dennis Erickson, and I loved him for it . (even though he denied it) . Pat Hill's team got freaking AMBUSHED by the Beavs that day. I recall Pat gathering his team in a huge huddle out on the 20 yard line, trying to collect themselves. Never seen anything like it. I'm not typically a big blood thirsty, revenge oriented type of fan, but having been at that Fresno game the year before and seeing the way their fans behaved, cheering the Roberts injury, I went crazy when the Beavs got payback. What a day it was. RIP Roberts. |

I was with my father at that game, and I told him before kick-off that on our first kick, the Fresneck return guy was going to get totally plastered, and sure enough, Aric Williams arrived about a second before the ball got there and leveled the dude - clean hit tho, nothing to the head. Then the game was played and we just blew them away. It was the cleanest game from a penalty standpoint that I can remember for a Hill coached team. My dad didn't like blowouts, but I loved every minute of it.
