Wan’Dale Robinson

It seems strange to put Wan’Dale Robinson not first on this list, but that does not diminish his accomplishments. He had a great day, and it reminded me of his performances during his freshman season.

Robinson finished the game with nine catches for 114 yards. He was Adrian Martinez’s top target, and it seemed like he was always in the right place at the right time.

He ran his routes really well on Saturday, and he was able to give a rhythm to the offense. It was great to see, especially since Robinson has not been as active at times this season. He played as smart game, and it looked like he was very much in sync with Martinez. It was great to see, and it showed just how special he is and what he can do after the catch.
