With regards to running back Alexander Robinson, Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads stated "...what we’d like to do even more so is get him the ball in the passing game. He’s a very capable receiver, and we’d like to see him thrown the ball more out of the backfield and down the field and so forth. We had a couple big passing plays with him, and we’d like to see him be more consistent."
Last year Robinson caught just 17 passes, but for a whopping 15.4 yard average and three touchdowns. Look for more touches for the Cyclone back.
