Brown
The best single-game offensive performance for Brown last year came from Keiron Bigby who scored on jaunts of 91 and 100 yards against Yale.
The only problem was that Bigby was a safety, and the runs came on the returns of two of his three interceptions of the day (Bigby set a NCAA record with 216 return yards overall).
So this year, Coach John Rosenberg decided to call a spade a spade and moved Bigby to wide reciever--where the quarterback will be trying to throw to him.
The defense which Bigby is leaving will have eight starters back from the 1984 campaign including linebackers Pat McCormick and Mike Giambattista and cornerbacks Mark Miller and George Reilly.
The offensive line will be inexperienced with the expection of guard Scott Sullivan, but competent quarterback Steve Kettleberger (51.2 completion percentage) and tailback Jamie Potkul (525 yards) are back.
