The Washington State football team, which has been hit hard by injuries this fall, has sustained another setback as senior defensive lineman Andy Roof has been dismissed from the university by the WSU Student Conduct Board.

The 22-year old Roof was allegedly involved in a fight at a party on Pullman’s College Hill last April.  First year Cougar head coach Paul Wulff says the board’s decision is disappointing, and creates potential depth problems at the position.
