    Can Robinson Keep The Streak Going?


    Sophomore corner Patrick Robinson is full of surprises. The first came when he switched his commitment from the Gators to the Noles in 2006. Now he is a pleasant surprise as he has four interception in four games. The latest came against Duke and matches Roger Williams team-high total for the 2006 season. Robinson, who has "Miami" tattooed in script down his left forearm, has emerged as a top corner for the Noles. Why the Miami tattoo? "I got that in the spring,"he told the media. "I am just trying to represent the hometown."

    At Miami (FL) Gulliver Prep, Robinson was known for his blazing speed and quickness. That speed was very evident on the football field in his last two seasons in high school with Robinson recording 11 interceptions on defense and over 10 touchdowns on offense. His first year at FSU in 2006, Robinson played in 12 of Florida State's 13 games as a back-up to Tony Carter at the field corner position. He recorded 11 tackles, one tackle for minus yardage and one blocked kick. He blocked a PAT against Clemson that was returned for a defensive score by Tony Carter. Robinson then returned a blocked PAT in the Seminoles' victory over Duke.

    In the upcoming game against Boston College, someone like Robinson or Tony Carter needs to have a big game against Matt Ryan. In his last game against Virginia Tech, Matt Ryan was intercepted twice. Can Robinson make it a five game streak against the Eagles?
