Why didn't Tony Robinson play earlier in his career?? I've been watching YouTube videos of games in the early 80's. I was a young kid at the time and alot of games weren't on television then so I like going back and watching games from that era. In watching those games, Allen Cockrell was very mediocre and made many mistakes. Just wondering why T-Rob didn't get to play instead of Cockrell. I know coach Majors trusted the older players more so maybe that's why but Robinson was a generational talent.
