BYRUM BROWN NEWS

Practices on Tuesday Brown (foot) participated in South Florida's team practice Tuesday, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact At the very least, Brown participating in South Florida's team practices provides some hope that he will be available for USF again, though him practicing is not exactly new news. This time around, he will look to finally recover before the 2024 Bulls conclude their regular season Saturday against Tulsa, one of the lowest-ranked teams in this AAC campaign.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Availability to be updated soon South Florida's head coach Alex Golesh said a decision on Brown (foot) being available will be made Friday, WDAE reports.

Impact Whether or not that decision is made public Friday is unknown, but it looks like South Florida's team will know its starting quarterback a day in advance. This leaves Brown or Bryce Archie extra time to prepare for USF's game Saturday at UNC Charlotte.

Out Saturday Brown (foot) will not suit up for Saturday's game versus Navy, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Bryce Archie was already named the starter for Saturday's game, but now Brown has been officially ruled out. His next chance to suit up is next Saturday at Charlotte.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Brown (foot) is not starting Saturday's game versus Navy, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Brown has not played since suffering a foot injury versus Tulane in Week 5 and will not be starting once again versus Navy. It's currently unclear if he will be active or not, but if he was healthy enough to play he would most likely be starting.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Brown (foot) will not start in Friday's game against FAU, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Brown, who has been sidelined since Week 5 with a foot injury, will not start in Friday's matchup with the Owls. The 6-foot-3 junior quarterback will yet again give way to junior quarterback Bryce Archie, and it is unclear if Brown is available for the contest.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Not guaranteed starting job Brown (foot) will not automatically resume USF's starting quarterback spot upon returning from injury, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact When asked if Brown, who was last active Week 5 against Tulane, would resume the Bulls' starting job when healthy, head coach Alex Golesh said, "I think we'll cross the bridge when we get there". Brown remains questionable to suit up Friday against FAU and Golesh divulged that Bryce Archie has taken most of the Bulls' first-team reps at practice this week. It appears the decision at quarterback for the Bulls will come down to a game-time decision and it is a real possibility that if Brown is healthy both quarterbacks see the field.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to practice Brown (foot) "continues to practice" for South Florida, Joey Knight of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Brown's latest update indicates he could be available for South Florida soon. However, Bryce Archie continues to be the USF quarterback logging first-team snaps.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Saturday Brown (foot) is out versus UAB, national college football writer Brett McMurphy reports.

Impact Brown will miss his second consecutive game Saturday as he continues to deal with a foot injury. It's a tough blow for the Bulls who will be starting Bryce Archie for the second straight week. Brown's next chance to play is Nov. 1 at FAU.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Status uncertain Brown (foot) remains questionable to suit up ahead of Saturday's game against UAB, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Brown has been referred to as a "late-week decision" according to head coach Alex Golesh, stating that "he's not totally health for him to be able to do what he does". The junior quarterback has appeared in five games this season, throwing for 836 yards (78-of-132), two touchdowns and zero interceptions, adding on 269 yards and four touchdowns with his legs. If Brown is ultimately unable to participate this weekend Bryce Archie, who struggled against Memphis last weekend, would likely continue to start for USF.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Out and spotted on crutches Brown (foot) won't play Saturday against Memphis and was spotted on crutches, according to Darek Sharp of the South Florida Bulls Radio Network.

Impact The fact that Brown was spotted on crutches suggests his injury might be a bit more complicated than initially expected. The absence of Brown means Bryce Archie will get the start under center against the Tigers.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call Brown (foot) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Memphis, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brown has practiced all week after sustaining a foot injury in the Bulls' most recent contest. However, the team will wait until pregame warmups to determine Brown's availability against Memphis. The junior has completed 59.1 percent of his pass attempts for 836 yards and two touchdowns while adding 269 yards and three scores on the ground.

Status day-to-day Brown (foot) is day-to-day, Joey Knight of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact According to Joe Henderson of FanSided.com, Brown was seen wearing a protective boot Sept. 28 after his game benching then at Tulane. The sighting indicates he has an ankle or foot injury. Thus, South Florida's coaching and support staff will monitor Brown daily until further notice.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Saturday Brown (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus Tulane with an injury and will not return, Darek Sharp of the USF radio network reports.

Catches TD in blowout loss Brown completed 19 of 30 passes for 254 yards during Saturday's 50-15 defeat versus Miami (FL). He also had 14 rushes for 27 yards and caught a 12-yard touchdown.

Impact Brown played his second game of the season versus a top-10 opponent and fared much better Saturday than he did versus Alabama in Week 2. While he did not throw a touchdown pass, he threw for a season-high 254 yards and did not turn the ball over for the fourth straight game. He was held in check on the ground as he averaged under two yards per carry, but he scored a 12-yard receiving touchdown from Sean Atkins on a trick play. He now heads into conference play where he should be able to put up impressive numbers on a consistent basis after he had an inconsistent non-conference slate to start the season.

He continued to produce on the ground too as he ran for over 70 yards for the third straight game. He finally put together an elite performance that was expected of him heading into the season. After a tough matchup versus Miami this Saturday, he heads into conference play where he should be able to produce at a high level on a consistent basis.

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles versus Bama Brown was 15-for-35 passing for 103 yards during Saturday's 42-16 defeat to Alabama. He also had 23 rushes for 108 yards.

Impact Brown completed less than 43 percent of his passes Saturday at Alabama, throwing for just 103 yards. Although he added 108 yards on the ground, his lack of touchdowns hurt his performance significantly. Despite his sky-high expectations heading into the season, Brown has not performed particularly well through two weeks. However, with the first game being a blowout and the second being on the road versus a top four team, Brown's performances should only go up from here.

Quiet start to 2024 Brown completed 13 of 20 passes for 152 yards during Saturday's 48-3 victory over Bethune-Cookman. He also had eight rushes for 74 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Expectations are through the roof on Brown this season, but his 2024 campaign did not get off to a roaring start. He played well as he did not commit a turnover and scored the Bulls' first touchdown of the season, a 42-yard run, but it was not the electric start many were hoping for. He faces a difficult run of games coming up, with none more difficult than Saturday's contest at Alabama.
