Brown became the 21st player in school history in 2006 to rush for over 1,000 career yards when he had 113 yards against you guessed it, the Noles. He reached that milestone in his 16th game, the eight-shortest time in school history for a player to reach 1,000 rushing yards He was also the Wolfpack's leading rusher in seven games last season, he ranked second on the team in rushing with 658 yards.

Antone Smith who is apparently still nursing turf toe had 12 carries for only a net 15 yards rushing and 1 TD in the Bama game. The Bama defense as predicted was determined to stop the run and have the QB beat them. Only problem with that was they thought it would be Drew Weatherford. Through four games, the 5'9" and 188 pound junior from Pahokee,Florida has 233 yards rushing and 3 TDs. His longest run has been for 49 yards.
