Alabama coaches thankful for the courage of this edge rusher in the loss of his father

In the excitement of honoring the Saban family and wanting get back versus South Florida, a very significant aspect was missed from last week.

Quandarrius “Que” Robinson played with a heavy heart. The veteran edge rusher lost his father and took time to spend with his family in Birmingham (Ala.) earlier in the week. Robinson’s father was a marquee encouragement for him at Jackson-Olin High School and throughout his life. It would have been understood if he chose to not play; however, Robinson loves the Crimson Tide’s program and embraced the new coaching staff. He returned later in the week to be with his teammates and coaches.
