Bryan Brown will be earning his raise early this season as he gets to plan for another high-powered offense that will test the talent and preparedness of his defense. UCF enters the game Friday with a third-year starter at Quarterback and a highly regarded offensive coach in Gus Malzahn. Brown will have his hands full with this offense.
Experienced Quarterbacks are not as common as they used to be with the transfer portal as well as the premium the NFL puts on the position. More signal-callers are heading to the NFL early or looking for an opportunity to play so it’s a little rarer to see a third-year starter like Dillon Gabriel.
