Journey Brown’s Epic Touchdown No. 5 Play On SportsCenter Top 10
By now you have probably watched this play a thousand times, but in case you wanted to see it one more time, Journey Brown’s first big touchdown run in Cotton Bowl made it onto Sunday’s SportsCenter Top 10 Plays countdown.
Pure disrespect.

Brown’s massive stiff arm and 32-yard score landed at No. 5 on the list, and highlighted what was a stellar day for him on the ground. He finished with 202 rushing yards and two touchdowns, leading the Nittany Lions rushing attack that Memphis could not stop. Penn State ended up with 369 total rushing yards at the end of their 53-39 Cotton Bowl victory.
With the season officially over, Brown will turn his attention to making a decision about turning pro or returning for another year in Happy Valley. For now, he can celebrate being on SportsCenter’s Top Plays, just like fellow Nittany Lion star Lamar Stevens, who’s done so a few times already this season.
