In just his third career game, UVA’s true freshman Xavier “X” Brown was one of the driving forces in the Virginia Cavaliers’ 16-14 win over the Old Dominion Monarchs. Out of Lexington, Kentucky, Brown finished the game with nine carries for 88 yards — good for a ridiculous 9.8 yards per carry average.
His longest run of 38 yards set up the Wahoos’ lone touchdown of the game as he repeatedly displayed an ability to not only find holes in the defense, but burst through them with speed and strength. Brown repeatedly broke tackles and forced multiple Monarchs to pile on to bring him to the ground.
