Week 5 Stats: 10 rushes, 70 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD
Robinson’s first career touchdown was a pivotal one, as it helped Duquesne avenge last season’s double-overtime defeat to LIU with a conference-opening 31-28 road win over the Sharks on Saturday. The Maple Heights, OH native’s 14-yard score with 1:32 to go in the third quarter capped off an eight-play, 80-yard drive that gave the Dukes their first lead of conference play at 28-21. Robinson, a 5-11 running back, accumulated 70 yards on 10 carries in his NEC debut, all of which came in the second half. This is his first career NEC Rookie of the Week honor, and the first for a Duquesne player this season.
