I think he is saying that this game doesn't have the over all star power that the Under Armour and Army game have, which is probably true. Expected Robinson to do more. He didn't look much better than the ND recruit, other than a bit stronger. Did the Milton kid from Cali play in any of the all-star games ? I feel like he is the best back in the country. He played against far better talent in HS, and was amazing. Robinson has power, very shifty, but from what little I saw of him doesn't show real good vision seeing the crease or cutback at the LOS. ( From HS reels, its bvious he can run through gapping holes ). Last night on one run he tries to bounce left, and loses about 5 yards; when had he cut to his right there was a chance for a big run. He looks to have patience, but I DO NOT like "SLOW TO THE HOLE ". That simply gives defenders time to swarm to the ball. I want a RB who will hum it up in there, see the crease or cutback lane or bounce it and GO before defenders can get off blocks. You especially need that if your OL is average or not all that good ( like ours ). I think Robinson will be a better back than what we have, but not a bell cow or beast like Ricky, Earl,Jamal,Foreman, or some of the elite RBs Bama, OU and others have had. Now if he comes out and lights LSU's *** up, I will gladly eat crow; but great backs usually shine in all-star games and he got a total of about 6 carries in TWO games . I know the announcers threw a lot of hype his way in the Hawaii game, but after years of mediocre backs since Jamal ( Foreman excluded ) I will not believe the hype until I see this kid stick his foot in the ground and "go 60" vs LSU. ( meaning break that **** off and run like Dobbins, A&M's Williams, Bama RBs, Etienne, etc, etc..... ) By the way, " go 60 " means breaking off big runs and being a real threat to take it to the house from anywhere. We will find out really quick if this kid is legit. USF has athletes and LSU is LSU.
The Dorbah dude is a player......Should play this coming season judging from last night's game.
