West Virginia views Leddie Brown as a genuine extension of the passing game. Brown has the second-most receptions on the team (9) for 92 yards and a touchdown. The Mountaineers actively seek ways to place the ball in Browns’ hands in space with screens and passes to the flat.

Of course, Brown is at his best as a rusher. His five ground touchdowns tie Baylor’s Abram Smith and Kansas State’s Duce Vaughn at the top of the conference standings.
