Jarrett Brown vs. the world
MORGANTOWN — For Jarrett Brown it has come down to one game.
They say it’s him against Florida State in the Gator Bowl, but he knows different.
It’s him against the world. Always has been.
“I feel like I’ve been underrated my whole life,” he said the other day after finishing off a two-hour practice and about a half an hour round of interviews with seemingly anyone with access to a tape recorder or pen and notebook.
It wasn’t just that he came to West Virginia and redshirted or that then he had to sit around for three more years while Patrick White changed the way people thought about the way quarterback is supposed to be played.
It goes back further, and in a way that’s what makes it so fitting that Brown’s final collegiate game will be against Florida State, the team he loved as a child and that snubbed him when it came time to head off to college.
Brown was raised outside Palm Beach in Florida. As such, you develop a loyalty to either Miami, Florida or Florida State.
You don’t have a choice. That’s just the way it is.
Brown’s father liked Miami.
He fell for Florida State.
“Charlie Ward, Adrian McPherson, all those guys. I loved them,” Brown said, referring to former Florida State quarterbacks from his youth. “Chris Rix, Warrick Dunn; I’m a fan of that school.”
