Talking Points: pushing Bryce Brown's buttons

Running backs

• It appears that Bryce Brown's teammates have figured out how to push his buttons. Several guys teased Brown after a bit of a sluggish start and a fumble on Wednesday. Brown responded with a couple of explosive runs and a couple of difficult catches. Part of the plan, by the way, appears to be to work Brown into the passing game.

Defensive line

• Fifth-year senior Wes Brown won't keep himself off the field despite the knees of a 12-year NFL veteran. "This is my last year, so I want to get out there and have a good last year," Brown said. "It's going to be tough. I know there's going to be days where I'm going to be more sore than others, but I'm not done yet. I'm going to keep playing until the good Lord tells me I can't." That attitude has earned Brown praise from the coaching staff.

Quarterbacks

• Oy. Kiffin does not sound happy. Both Jonathan Crompton and Nick Stephens threw interceptions and struggled against the first team secondary.
