We have been waiting for standout freshman Bijan Robinson to get his time to shine in this offense. After Keaontay Ingram went down with a high ankle sprain against Oklahoma State, we saw a glimpse of it. Robinson played more offensive snaps than any other back in the game (47). Over the last two games Robinson has a combined 25 carries for 114 yards. This coming after he carried the rock 14 times for 67 yards in his first three games.

With Ingram ailing and Roschon Johnson dealing with a lingering shoulder issue this year, it might be his time to shine. On the road the WVU defense has given up 190.5 yards per game, both losses. If Robinson can get the run game rolling it bodes well for the Texas offense. In the Mountaineers two losses, the running game averaged almost 100 more yards than their season average.

In the words of Leigh Anne Tuohy, “Run the dang ball.”
