Retreats to the bench Brown will not start in Saturday's showdown with the Sooners, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports. Impact Brown, who had a brutal showing against the Razorbacks last week, will relinquish his starting spot back to Payton Thorne against Oklahoma in Week 5. The 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman has appeared in three contests with the Tigers this season, throwing for 403 yards (27-of-43), six touchdowns and three interceptions. Brown reportedly had a good week of practice after he was pulled against Arkansas, but Auburn will rely on a more veteran presence against OU.
