Brown, a redshirt sophomore listed third on the depth chart, ran 12 times for 84 yards and got the bulk of the workload in the backfield. The team announced at the kickoff that starting running back Isaac Brown and top receiver Chris Bell were limited in practice, and second-string running back Duke Watson likely would not play.
