Keilan Robinson will remember this run for a long time.
One of the fastest players on the Alabama roster took his first carry of the game against New Mexico State and zoomed 74 yards as he left defenders grasping for air when he split up the middle of the defense. The touchdown put the Crimson Tide up 62-7 late in the third quarter.
Robinson helped Alabama go over 300 yards rushing on 30 attempts for a very healthy rushing average per play. His 3 carries for 82 yards rushing led the team by early in the fourth quarter.
The 5-foot-9, 190-pound freshman from Washington, D.C. was rated by the 247 Composite as the No. 2 player in Washington D.C. and the No. 15 running back nationally.
