ASU's one man down, but he's big

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Jake Swalley admits Saturday is going to be weird.

The senior defensive tackle will play his final game for Arkansas State in the AutoNation Cure Bowl against Central Florida, but for the first time Waylon Roberson won't be at his side.

Roberson, 6-2, 341 pounds, won't play in Saturday's 4:30 p.m. game at Camping World Stadium after injuring his knee and ankle in the Dec. 3 victory over Texas State.

"I know Waylon Roberson was honorable mention [all-Sun Belt], but if you ask me, he was the best player on the field at all times," Swalley said.
