He's probably about 5. He was so good in space making guys miss after the catch.

Most people remember the 2006 TCU game as Beck just picking them apart (which he did), but what has been forgotten is how many first downs Brown converted in that game after catching the ball short of the marker. He was both a very good running back and a very good receiver out of the backfield.

Where does Curtis Brown rank in the Pantheon of BYU RBs?

Frank Castiglione

No, he's not top 5.

BGRTHNUMEGO

I have him top 5

Where would BYU's national season rushing leader rank?

5/27/20 10:52am

As long as you don't count old-timers like Forte, Ogden, VanValkenberg and Blanc

Sea Chicken

5/27/20 10:53am

Yeah they were all good. Just how many of us actually saw them play?

LakeshowCougs

5/27/20 10:59am

Get off my lawn!

Sea Chicken

5/27/20 11:01am

Haha. Thats the reason i didn't include them, I put guys i saw play

LakeshowCougs

For those I didn't see

PVV had one good season. And basically anyone you're trying to count

5/27/20 11:29am

I'm just saying they should be considered

Sea Chicken

5/27/20 11:59am

Luke had only 1 good season

Y05

Great back. About average for the Anae-era guys.

vagabonder

5/27/20 1:04pm

Good, unappreciated, but nowhere near top 5

5/27/20 10:41am

lol that's ridiculous. How is he not close?

5/27/20 11:48am

no.

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 10:42am

Career wise, Brown and Williams are the top 2 RBs in BYU history.

mudpupper

5/27/20 10:42am

on what criteria?

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 10:46am

career stats

mudpupper

5/27/20 11:40am

Statistically, Brown's behind Unga, who only played 3 full seasons

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 12:08pm

Brown wasn't

Y05

5/27/20 11:36pm

"Touch down! Curtis Brown!" was my favorite Greg Wrubell phrase

He always seemed to make the first defender miss in space.

5/27/20 10:44am

He's probably about 5. He was so good in space making guys miss after the catch.

CaliWG

He's #2 all-time in all purpose yards

Here is the correct order . . .

Knock it off with that Jamal Willis slander

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/27/20 10:53am

Thank you for answering my question.

dratax

5/27/20 10:55am

PVV's question mark was receiving

donnerstag

5/27/20 10:57am

Jenkins plays for one year and he is your #2...get out.

5/27/20 11:20am

2 years

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/27/20 11:20am

Fine, two years. Doesn't change my thought on him being #2.

5/27/20 11:52am

You need Matt Bellini on there

Odysseus

5/27/20 11:25am

Matt was my high school coach for a time. Such a good dude and great coach.

ebv

5/27/20 2:33pm

No way Ronny is #2. Fun to watch but barely top 10

Tare

5/27/20 11:27am

Luke Staley is only considered top 3 for one great season

donnerstag

5/27/20 11:49am

Top 5. 3rd down conversion rate was phenomenal, especially in critical situations.

ColoSpgs

5/27/20 10:57am

Of RBs with 20+ carries on 3rd & Short situations, he is 5th out of 6 (since 03)

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 11:08am

Even then, stats like that are tough because so much depends on the OL.

5/27/20 11:54am

I think Brown tended to have a solid OL

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 12:05pm

Yeah that's what makes Jamaal's numbers so impressive. He constantly ran behind

5/27/20 12:13pm

Even 04?

Y05

5/27/20 11:43pm

I think he is around 4 or 5.

5/27/20 10:59am

Curtis is #4

Tare

5/27/20 12:27pm

Above average.

His receptions and receiving yards was one of the big benefits I remember.
