(U-WIRE) MANHATTAN, Kan. - Nobody expected a quarterback controversy this season at Kansas State. But after starter Ell Roberson left with more than seven minutes remaining in the second quarter of the Wildcats' 55-14 win over McNeese State, that's exactly what K-State must deal with.
The hit came as Robertson unloaded a pass deep downfield on third-and-long deep in the Wildcats' own territory. He got up slowly, holding his left, nonthrowing hand gingerly. Then he slowly walked to the sideline, visibly upset.
Roberson would not return to the game, spending the second half near the bench with his hand wrapped in a towel.
After the game, offensive coordinator Greg Peterson believed Roberson's injury was minor.
But less than 12 hours later, head coach Bill Snider said the
injury was more serious than originally thought.
"I'm not going to be specific about it," Snyder said. "But in all reality it appears that we will likely be without him for a period of time."
When asked when Roberson would be available, Snyder hesitated.
"That will kind of depend on his progress," he said. "There is no time, no date set when we'll get him back. We just don't know vet."
Sources close to the program have indicated Roberson has a broken finger, similar to the injury he sustained on the same hand last season against Louisiana-Monroe.
He missed his next start against Eastern Illinois, but returned in time to lead K-State past thenno.11 Southern California.
This time, the question is whether Roberson will be available three weeks from now, when the Cats travel to Austin, Texas, to play the No. 5 Longhorns.
on Roberson, for the next few games, another door may be opening for backups Jeff Schwinn and Dvlan Meier.
Schwinn took over for K-State's final two series of the first half, one of them a three-and-out and the other resulting in a missed field goal.
While the door may be closing
He fared little better in the second half, finishing the game 5-of-14 for 83 yards and no touchdowns. He engineered just two scoring drives, one capped by a 1-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown after a blocked punt, and the other resulting in a 44-yard field goal by Joe Rheem.
Meier, meanwhile, threw an interception in his, only attempt, but managed to lead the Wildcats to two touchdowns.
Meier showed Roberson-like elusiveness on one play in particular, a 15-yard scramble up the middle that saw the redshirt freshman dodge two Cowboy linebackers and plow into the end zone.

Colorado football player Matt McChesney was one of those sued.
BOULDER, Colo. — The Recording Industry Association of America announced Monday that its member companies were suing major offenders who illegally distribute substantial amounts of copyrighted music on peer-to-peer
"I don't know anything about that," said Colorado football coach Gary Barnett Tuesday. "It's a new page in my player's manual."
McChesney was unable to be reached for comment Tuesday. According to assistant Athletic
Director and Sports Information director David Plati, McChesney is upset by the suit.
McChesney was already suspended from CU for violating the school conduct code. McChesney had two contacts with authorities in 2001 for underage drinking and possession of drug paraphernalia.
