He threw for more than 1,800 yards, 21 touchdowns and ran for 11 more. "I just had a really strong feeling about North Carolina," said Robinette. "Their academics and tradition are incredible and I love the community. Coach [Butch] Davis, coach [John] Shoop and the other coaches there are all outstanding coaches and guys. Really, it's the best fit for me." (ESPN.com)
