Auburn football avoids Byrum Brown injury after scary hit to head

Athens, Ga. — Quarterback Byrum Brown from Auburn football narrowly escaped a potential injury during a game against ranked Georgia on October 17th. The South Florida transfer was involved in a play where he slid to avoid contact, resulting in a hit from Georgia defender Khamari Brooks. The play was penalized for targeting after review.

Despite the scare, Brown only missed one play as Oregon State transfer Tristan Ti took the following snap. Brown continued to play and led the Tigers to a game-tying scoring drive, completing a pass to Chas Nimrod for a touchdown just seven plays after the hit.
