Brandon Brown Jr Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Shoemaker got the W thanks in part to Brandon Brown Jr playing the best football he has all season. Brown Jr rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 57 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the year, Brown Jr has averaged 57.5 receiving yards per game.
