Barion Brown’s kickoff return TD nearly ended in disaster

Before the Kentucky Wildcats opened their season against Miami-Ohio on Saturday, it was a certainty that many new faces would be heavily involved in the offensive scheme.

Replacing the production of the legendary Wan’Dale Robinson is an enormous task and a topic that’s been a focal point of preseason discussions.

One name that Kentucky fans have been eager to see is former 5-star prospect Barion Brown. The freshman is just one year removed from high school but quickly acclimated enough to earn a starting position right out of the gate.

The Cats came out completely flat in the first half of their opening game, holding just a three point lead at intermission against Miami-Ohio from the MAC.
