(freshmen weren't allowed to play at the time). After McMillan struggled in the Orange Bowl with 5 or 6 interceptions (lost count), Roper got in the game only to add to the turnover tally. His junior and senior years he was the starter often challenged by Mike Farmer. Those teams weren't very good so it's difficult to judge him individually. He wasn't much of a runner and threw a bunch of interceptions.
