Nebraska redshirt freshman Ty Robinson got his biggest taste yet of Big Ten football Saturday -- and promptly drifted off to sleep.
The 6-foot-6, 315-pound defensive lineman played a total of 57 snaps in NU's 30-23 victory against Penn State, which was only one fewer than senior starter Ben Stille -- whose 58 snaps led all Husker defensive linemen.
Robinson hadn't played that many snaps in a game since his days Higley High School in Gilbert, Arizona, where he became one of the most coveted defensive line recruits in the nation. He appeared in three games as a reserve last season, but quickly has become a mainstay for Nebraska this season.
