SV grad Brown may miss Ohio State game
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — No Maryland quarterback has started every game in a season since 2006, a streak that will continue if injured C.J. Brown can’t go Saturday against No. 20 Ohio State.
Brown, a Seneca Valley graduate, left Saturday’s 37-15 victory at Indiana with a sprained left wrist, and his status for Maryland’s long awaited Big Ten home opener against the Buckeyes (3-1) remains in doubt.
“We’ll find out on game day,” coach Randy Edsall said Tuesday.
If Brown is unable to start, junior Caleb Rowe would assume control of the offense. Rowe came off the bench to complete 12 of 18 passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns in the Terrapins (4-1, 1-0 Big Ten) win.
Brown has thrown for 996 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions in Maryland’s first five games. He is also the Terrapins’ leading rusher with 266 yards and five touchdowns, and has accounted for 49 touchdowns in his career.
