PITTSBURGH — Max Browne spent four years at Southern California competing for the starting quarterback job, with mixed results at best. Next season, he will get one last shot 2,500 miles away.
Sure, it is not quite the way he expected his college career to go. Yet Browne was hardly complaining while standing inside the University of Pittsburgh complex on Friday. He will spend the next year working on his master’s degree in customer insights and trying to win with Coach Pat Narduzzi and the Panthers.
There are worse fates. A lot worse.
“I know I can play at a high level,” Browne, 21, said.
