Utah State is outwardly saying its star quarterback is eligible to play, but behind the scenes there has been back and forth as to whether he should be allowed to.
Love and a couple of his Aggie teammates were cited for marijuana possession in the run-up to Friday’s Frisco Bowl, when police arrived at a student apartment from which the smell of weed wafted. The Frisco Bowl was scheduled to be Love’s final game, after he announced he would enter the NFL Draft.
There’s no official word yet on definitive consequences for Love’s alleged indiscretion — he has a court date later this month, and through his attorney Love said he’s innocent.
