Robinson's credentials for the weekly award are staggering. He
finished with six catches for 177 yards and two touchdowns against
Division I-A Iowa State. His first score, off a 56-yard scoring pass
from quarterback Luke Drone, countered the Cyclones' 80-yard scoring
drive to start the second half and force the second tie of the game
at 15-15. His second touchdown, an 80-yard bomb, kept Iowa State on
its heels after taking a 14-point lead at 29-15.
Robinson's 177 yards receiving topped his previous career high by
72 yards and ranks as the seventh-highest single-game total in
Redbird history. His receiving total was also the best performance
by any player in Division I-AA football through Saturday. In fact,
Southern California's Steve Smith with 185 yards, was the only
player in all of Division I football to top Robinson's effort.
