The senior has had an excellent season, rushing for 1,275 yards and 14 touchdown, but he's often been cast in a supporting role behind players such as quarterback Bryce Young and wide receiver John Metchie III.
The question coming into this game was which players would step up in Metchie's absence.
Bill O'Brien said it was not easy to lose a guy like Metch. He's a great guy, and he can do so many different things for us. His presence in the room is missed.
Robinson and wideouts Ja'Corey Brooks and Slade Bolden combined for seven catches, 97 receiving yards and two scores. Robinson, Brooks and Bolden came up huge for the Tide because of the way Cincy kept Williams in check.
It's ESPN.
