ANN ARBOR, MI (AP) -- doesn't have a Facebook or Twitter account because he doesn't like
attention.
      The player known as "Shoelace" attracts it anyway.
      Robinson set an NCAA record this year for yards rushing by a
quarterback with 1,643, and he became the first to run and throw
for 1,500 yards.
      He will break the school's single-season record if he runs for
175 yards - for the fifth time - against No. 21 Mississippi State
in the Gator Bowl on New Year's Day.
      The Deerfield Beach, Fla., native says his "whole city" is
trying to make the 5-hour drive up the coast to watch him.
