Sports Take: Sawyer Robertson is elite; it hasn’t mattered

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

It looked like the page had turned.

After redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Devonte Tezino stuffed sophomore Iowa State running back Abu Sama III on fourth down, Sawyer Robertson lumbered onto the field at Jack Trice Stadium with a gleam in his eyes. The 6-foot-4 redshirt junior seized control of the starting quarterback job with sixth-year senior Dequan Finn sidelined and hasn’t slowed down since.

Robertson opened the game with an absolute beauty of a pass to Hal Presley, throwing the ball a perilous 31 yards to the far sideline for a first down.
