OU football journal: Marquise Brown held without a catch in Orange Bowl, likely his last game at OU

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Oklahoma's Marquise Brown looked healthy Saturday night, but nothing like the receiver he is.

Brown had uncharacteristic drops that highlighted a zero-catch night in the Orange Bowl. He was targeted five times in OU's 45-34 loss.

It was likely his last game in a Sooner uniform. The junior is expected to leave early given his first-round NFL Draft projection.

Brown was questionable coming into the contest after suffering a lower-leg injury in the Big 12 Championship game against Texas, but he made it clear in the days leading up to the game that he would play.
