| Carlos Brown Junior Running Back |
Junior running back Carlos Brown showed flashes of brilliance in his sophomore season with a career-high 132 yards rushing and two touchdowns against Minnesota, but the back has been hampered with injuries much of 2008. Brown was finally healthy last week against Northwestern after missing nearly two months of play, rushing for 119 yards and catching a pair of passes. Brown also crossed the 500-yard mark for his career last weekend and looks to end his junior season on a high note in The Big Game vs. Ohio State.
