Wide receiver Duce Robinson was injured after a catch with 1:02 remaining in the first half against Pitt. Robinson seemed to be favoring his right leg, but was able to walk off the field with limited help. He did not return for the final minute of the second quarter and went to the locker room early.
Robinson had two catches for 10 yards in the first half, but drew two pass interference calls on drives that resulted in touchdowns. The second touchdown was a beautiful deep pall to Micahi Danzy.

Robinson has been FSU's biggest weapon in the passing game. Coming into Saturday, he led the Seminoles with 23 catches for 433 yards.
FSU rallied in the second quarter to take a 21-14 lead over PItt going into the half. The Seminoles trailed 14-7 to start the quarter, but the defense made a big stop on a third-and-1 and got interceptions from Edwin Jospeh and Earl Little Jr. to turn the tide.
Update: Robinson likely not to return
Robinson was not seen on the sidelines to start the second half and if he can't return, FSU's offense will be without its top four receivers in the pass game. There have already been some backups stepping up with all the injuries. Tight end Landen Thomas caught a touchdown pass and normal blocking tight end Markeston Douglas caught his first pass of the season.
Elijan Moore, a redshirt freshman that's been buried on the depth chart, also made a nice catch in the second quarter and looks like a bigger target that could get increased snaps if Robinson can't return.

Barker starting in Seminoles secondary
Good news on the injury front has Ashlynd Barker back in his role as starting safety after missing last week's game against Miami. It's a major boost to the Seminoles' secondary after losing rotational corner Quindarrius Jones with a season-ending injury.
Ashlynd Barker announced as a starting safety.

That's promising after he missed last week's game.
The Seminoles are looking at several redshirt freshmen to replace Jones with Cai Bates, Charles Lester III and Ricky Knight Jr. all in position to receive playing time.
