Auburn’s Fall Camp is off to an eventful start, as Gus Malzahn announced on Wednesday following his team’s first practice that he had dismissed running back Jovon Robinson from the team. Auburn fans were expecting Robinson to be the bell cow in the Auburn backfield this coming season after the departures of Peyton Barber and Roc Thomas. But now that plan is out the window.
Robinson started slow last season but finished strong, rushing for 90-plus yards in 5 of his last 6 games. For the year he finished with 639 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns.
