Georgia State quarterback Quad Brown has had an interesting start to his career. In less than two months he's gone from being an unknown quantity to the Football Writers Association of America's Freshman All-American watch list. Despite that huge leap, B rown continues to learn on the job and has set some high standards. "He can throw a little bit, he's a great athlete who can stretch you in the running game," Georgia State coach Shawn Elliott said. "His decision-making is improved, and he's got a good u nderstanding of the offense, and I'm pleased with that."A redshirt freshman, Brown leads the Sun Belt Conference and ranks 14th in FBS with 307 yards per game. The only freshman with better numbers is Spencer Rattler of Oklahoma. Last week Brown t ied a school record with five touchdowns against Arkansas State, throwing for 314 yards and rushing for another 83. "He does a lot of good things and is playing at a high level," Elliott said. "We didn't know how quickly that would come. We knew we had s ome surrounding pieces, but didn't know how quickly he could develop and manage the offense. He's done a good job. He still makes some bonehead decisions, but being a freshman, you've got to go through that. He's where we'd hoped he'd be." - Marietta Dai ly Journal
