Twins Know Roundabout Way To San Jose Long, Strange Trip Lands Roes In Middle Of Spartans’ O-Line

Identical twins Matt and Mark Roe, kicked out of San Diego State after being cited in a fraternity brawl and testing positive for a banned substance, are the starting offensive tackles for San Jose State.

They’ll be charged with keeping Washington State defensive ends Dorian Boose and Shane Doyle away from Spartans quarterback Carl Dean.

In April 1995, they were charged with testing positive for testosterone ethanate. The NCAA leveled a one-year suspension, and the twins ended up in San Jose.

The Roe brothers have claimed they took the illegal substance to facilitate recovery from injury.

Before joining San Jose State, however, they had to turn down an endorsement offer from Pizza Hut. Their older brother, Tom Roe, has appeared in a beer ad for Coors and an episode of television’s Silk Stalkings.
