Iowa State running back Alexander Robinson rushed for 97 yards and two scores in a win over Northern Illinois. He also caught four passes for 32 yards.
Robinson showed good speed on a 63-yard TD in the second quarter, but he was bottled up after that until a late TD to seal the game. ISU coaches wanted to get A-Rob more involved in the passing game, and that definitely worked tonight. He posted just 17 receptions in each of the past two years.
