Once one of the hottest recruits in the land, Browne has been waiting for a long time to get his shot at the full-time starting job. The former No. 1 quarterback of the 2013 class had been waiting patiently behind Kessler at USC, and it looks like his time has finally come.
Of course, he's going to need all the help he can get for his first career start; nothing says "Welcome to college football!" like a game against the defending national champions on a neutral field.
