you've got an excuse for everything don't you?
none of that is entirely true. Brown transferred... 7 guys transferred from that team, they likely got beat out in the summer too... right?
the backup QB (behind Brown) McDonald, did not win the starting job until the first game... it had nothing to do with "summer". Let's see.... he could not beat out Brown one season, but the next season he's the stud... OMG. Alert the Hawaii coach!!!

Brown was the team captain and starter, he transferred for personal and family reasons. The Hawaii coach had to change the entire offense in the off-season for the 2nd string QB.
He transferred in the summer because he was trying to compete coursework to GRADUATE, as a Junior. (with 2 years left).
2017 (Junior): Recipient of the Coach Tom Kaulukukui Offensive Captain Award…named one of four team captains prior to the season…started all 12 games at quarterback…one of four players on offense to start every game of the season...finished the year with 2,785 yards passing with 18 touchdowns and eight interceptions…averaged 232.1 yards per game, while completing 61.7 percent of his passes…ranked third in the Mountain West in passing yards per game and in total offense (232.7 ypg)
Brown’s return to the mainland was brought about in part because of his desire to be a little closer to family as he wraps up his football career in college.
“This decision has nothing to do with football,” Brown told the Star Advertiser. “My family comes before this game.”
