PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Donald Brown admits to feeling a little anxious entering a weekend when some 50 friends and family members will witness the homecoming game between UConn and Rutgers.
“I’m emotional, I’m anxious, I’m excited,” Brown, a redshirt junior at Connecticut (5-1), said in a phone interview. “I’m ready to come back to Jersey and play.”
A product of Red Bank Catholic High School, the 5-foot-10, 210-pound Brown has rushed for 1,067 yards this season. He leads Division I in rushing yards per game (177.8) and touchdowns (12), and on Saturday he will be trying to pound the football down the home team’s throat at Rutgers Stadium.
