Brown is in line to start Friday night at Purdue if starter Demond Williams (ribs) can't go, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.
Analysis:Williams is considered doubtful, so at this juncture, Brown looks like the likely starter for the Huskies. The third-year transfer from Stanford played in relief of Williams in Washington's loss to Iowa and performed admirably, tossing for 251 yards and three touchdowns on 72% completion.
