WR Brian Robiskie (Official Thread)

[GoodLifeSean]

Robo is currently tied with Eric Decker of Minnesota for the conference lead in receiving yardage per game with 114 ypg.

Receivers from Minnesota and The Ohio State University leading the conference? What the hell is next Duke winning a game... oh wait, your telling me that happened too?
What's this world coming too

Robiskie makes habit of delivering big plays

In the pecking order of Ohio State receivers, there was a time when Brian Robiskie was at the back of the line. But what a line.

Santonio Holmes, Ted Ginn Jr., Anthony Gonzalez and Roy Hall -- all future NFL draft picks, the first three taken in the first round -- lined up in front of Robiskie for his freshman season in 2005. Robiskie had been a late addition to that year's recruiting class, but he proved in preseason camp that he was worthy of playing right away.

But he didn't play much, not in that line. About the biggest thing Robiskie caught that season was a nickname, "Robo," courtesy of Hall.

"I wasn't a big fan of it when Roy Hall gave me that nickname," Robiskie said. "But it just kind of stuck, and when too many guys start saying it, you really can't go against it."

When Robiskie checked in at Ohio State, he said he could cover 40 yards in 4.5 seconds. But now he said he can run it in 4.4 seconds, with the team's speed coach, former world 400-meter record-holder Butch Reynolds, to thank.

"When I think about Butch, I think about form," Robiskie said. "When you watch him run, it looks so effortless. … If you try to strain too much, you're not going to maximize your speed, so you've just got to relax with good form."

What a first half today for Robo and Boeckman. Robo is a flat out stud. 3 TD's on the day and would have had four if Boeckman leads him on the flag route that got picked. Just stay healthy.

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

If Robo stays another year, he'll break a lot of records. It would help if a true #2 emerges. Hartline and/or Small have shown signs that they are ready to step up into that role. Next year with Posey, this will be one of thhe best, if not the best group in the nation.

Can't forget Stoney.

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

Can't forget Stoney.

Stoney will get his chance to shine sooner or later. Trust me, being a Dubliner I'm very high on Stoney. Posey will have an impact on this team very early though.

 

[SanAntonioBuck]

Robo is playing like an all-american.

 

[OSUsushichic]

STUD!

STUD!

Left hanging again.

Robo is continuing the line of great tOSU WR's very nicely.

Robiskie on a very strong pace

COLUMBUS ? After catching his second touchdown pass from Todd Boeckman in the first quarter Saturday against Northwestern, Ohio State wideout Brian Robiskie received a chest bump in the end zone from 6-foot-8, 313-pound offensive tackle Alex Boone.

Like most 6-3, 196-pound receivers, the junior feared for his own safety.

"I was just worried about not getting knocked over," Robiskie said.

But it was all in good fun.

"They do so much work," Robiskie said of his offensive line. "To get a chance to get them in end zone, it means a lot."

Robiskie caught three passes for 42, 28 and 19 yards ? all of which resulted in first-half touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 58-7 win. Through four games, Robiskie has 20 catches for 431 yards and five touchdowns.

The flanker is on pace to have one of the best seasons as a receiver in Ohio State history.

If he stays on pace, Robiskie will finish the season with 1,293 receiving yards, close to the record of 1,435 set by David Boston in 1998. Only four OSU receivers have passed 1,000 yards ? Boston, Terry Glenn (1,411), Cris Carter (1,127) and Michael Jenkins (1,076).

That's definitely a big "if," but Robiskie isn't worried about it.

"I don't know anything about that," Robiskie said. "I'm just trying to help us win games."

Robiskie gives OSU big plays every day
Jim Naveau | [email protected] - 09.23.2007

COLUMBUS — Brian Robiskie is no secret now. Maybe he never was.

Ohio State’s leading receiver had his fewest catches in a game this season when he grabbed three of Todd Boeckman’s throws during a 58-7 win over Northwestern on Saturday.

But he made the most of those three, scoring on touchdown plays of 42 yards, 28 yards and 19 yards.

On the first, he badly beat safety Reggie McPherson. On the second, he was so far ahead of cornerback Deante Battle that the Northwestern defender never even got his arms up into the air.

Robiskie has 20 catches for 421 yards and five touchdowns in Ohio State’s first four games.

Ohio State's Brian Robiskie sizzles as Buckeyes roll along
Sunday, September 23, 2007Bill LivingstonPlain Dealer Columnist

- If there is a picture of his son in this newspaper or others, Terry Ro biskie will e-mail, calling himself a "goofy father" and asking for a copy. Blown up in size, if possible.

When Ohio State is playing on television, Terry will make time between meetings in Miami to try to take a peek at the highlights.

It was easier last season, when Terry was a Browns' assistant coach. He couldn't make it to the Horseshoe, but the Buckeyes were always on television.

Terry was the interim coach of the Browns at the end of the forlorn 2004 season.

Now he tutors former Buckeye wideout Ted Ginn Jr. and the other Dolphins wide receivers. "He says as long as Ted runs that fast, he'll be fine," said Terry Robiskie, father of Ohio State's junior wideout.

Ginn's strides were never as long as Brian Robiskie's have been to open the Buckeyes' 4-0 season. After catching three touchdown passes in the first half of a 58-7 rout of Northwestern, Robiskie has five touchdowns in four games.

His catches were for 42, 28, and 19 yards Saturday. The 42-yarder came on the game's third play from scrimmage. It has been a pattern all season, for Robiskie caught Todd Boeckman's first three passes of the opener against Youngstown State, and he hasn't stopped catching them. His 68-yard touchdown reception started the big second-half rally last week against Washington.

Asked if opponents shouldn't be wary of the deep ball to Robiskie by now, teammate Ray Small, a wideout himself, said, "I guess it can't be stopped."

if he keeps making TD's look that easy. I'll be like who was GINN/GONZO:)

Just like jenkins-pro, holmes-pro,ginn/gonzo -pros . What the buckyes have are just the next group of PRO'S.

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

Richard Cirminiello at CFN think it's time to give Robo some love.

It?s time to give more pub to? Ohio State WR Brian Robiskie. No, Robiskie is no Ted Ginn, but what he lacks in fast wheels and sex appeal, he more than makes up for with terrific hands and pass-catching fundamentals. The offensive star this year for the Buckeyes, Robiskie has five touchdown receptions in the last three games, including three on three catches in Saturday?s rout of Northwestern.

Touchdowns per Reception:

Among FBS receivers with at least 5 receptions per game, Brian Robiskie is tied for highest TD/Catch with Chris Williams of NMSU at 1 touchdown for every 4 receptions.​

Brian's next opponent has allowed more touchdown passes than anyone but Rice so far this year.​

You do the math...​

I was surprised until I realized Malcom Kelly has only 17 receptions but damn 7 TDs!

 

[HilmerJ]

anyone think Robiskie has a little bit of Larry Fitzgerald in him...to me thats the reciver he reminds me of(of course this was before he started burning DBs in the last few games...) but he strikes me as a guy who is just as good, and could be better than Larry Fitz...

any one see any similarites...
