“I think he’s gonna be fine,” Norvell said. “He just kind of came down on the football and kind of bruised his chest plate a little bit.”
Brown, a senior, transferred in from Penn State in the aftermath of the child abuse scandal. Saturday, he caught two passes for 55 yards, which included a huge 46-yard reception down the sideline. He’s also made a big impact on special teams; Saturday, he returned three punts for a total of 102 yards and almost scored in the first quarter.
“He’s a big, strong,physical receiver and dependable to the catch,” Josh Heupel said. “He’s very disciplined in what he’s doing and he’s only going to get better and better.”
