No. 14 Bijan Robinson, Running Back
The lack of use for Robinson last season was borderline criminal, as he was limited to about nine carries per game, and was often off the field for drives at a time. It was almost as if Tom Herman did not want him to rush for 150 yards and a couple touchdowns a game, because there is no other explanation as to why he was so mismanaged. Even in his limited carries, he still showed why he will be one of the best players in college football this season, as he posted 703 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 8.2 yards per carry. Here is what ESPN had to say:
In the last four games of his freshman season, Robinson went off: 47 rushes for 522 yards and four touchdowns, eight catches for 129 yards and two more scores. The No. 21 prospect in 2020’s ESPN 300 could be a go-to for Steve Sarkisian’s first Longhorn offense.
Robinson is expected to get north of 20 carries per game under Sarkisian, and if he is able to run with the authority he did in his limited chances last year, he could very well rush for over 2,000 yards and find himself as a Heisman finalist.
