Brown Is Expected to Get Bigger Role

Look for freshman running back Keith Brown to get a meatier role in the offense as the team takes some pressure off Skip Hicks. Coach Bob Toledo said Monday that fatigue played a part in Hicks’ fourth-quarter fumble Saturday against Arizona State, which gave the Sun Devils the ball on the UCLA 16 and led to a touchdown.

Safety Abdul McCullough broke a bone in his right hand and will probably play much of the rest of the season wearing a cast.
