In 2014, the Mississippi State Bulldogs had the one of the best seasons in program history. A key reason for that was Mississippi State’s offensive attack led by quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Josh Robinson. Robinson was known as the “bowling ball”. His downhill rushing style is one that many SEC football fans will recall. As a junior, Robinson had 1,203 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns. The best game of Robinson’s career came against Kentucky during his junior season. He had 23 carries for 198 yards and two touchdowns.
