Yeah browns stats were decent if you just look at the sheet.  But I wish they kept track of targets in college, cuz I'm willing to bet brown was targeted close to 20 times

exactly. it seemed like 2/3 of the passes were targeted at Hampton's man & the vast majority were broken up by Hampton.

the non-tackle was bad, I think he thought the pass wasn't caught, but he certainly atoned for it with consistently solid play the rest of the game.

60 yard play aside, Brown had only 39 yards the rest of the game & he was targeted on most of their passes.

Hampton also broke up a few passes to #10 as well.

Hampton was especially good. At the same time our DBs are our strength...they played really well against some big WRs last night.

He will have another tall task against UMASS.   Andy Isabella is far and away their top receiver and he has impressive stats

I thought Nick Roberts was impressive as well. Our secondary is awesome. Once our D-Line catches up, this will be a lights out D

I actually thought he stood still on that long pass, seemed like he thought the play was over.   Seemed like he was picked on all night.

That guy will be a draft pick. He can do it all but has great hands. We will need to key on him. UMASS plays very good at home.

I would guess Brown was targeted about 15 times.  Thought at least one of his receptions was when Hampton was not on him. Did show a great DB skill of short memory after the no tackle play.  

Also notable that Hampton performed all night even though time of possession was pitiful and defense was out there way way too much. 

In addition to Hamptons no tackle, Roberts had a play where he thought he was going to break up or intercept the ball and didn't finish.  Takeaway for me is we got good talent, they need some more reps to be great though.
