PAWTUCKET, R.I. (Interstat) — Brown will travel to face Rhode Island on Saturday in an NCAA Football Championship Division game at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket, R.I. The Bears enter at 1-1, while the Rams are 2-3. The forecast at game time calls for 76 degrees.

Brown will look to bounce back from a 14-10 home loss to Harvard last time out. Quarterback James Murphy is the player to watch for the Bears. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 121 yards in the Harvard game. In Brown’s 17-10 win at New Haven earlier this season, Murphy completed 26 of 38 passes for 343 yards.

Against Harvard, Matt Childs carried 11 times for 57 yards, caught seven passes for 59 yards and returned one kickoff for 18 yards. Jackson Bennett added two carries for 29 yards and one touchdown. Brown’s other result this season was a 17-10 victory at New Haven.

Rhode Island will aim to respond after a 22-18 loss at North Carolina A&T last time out. Alex McClelland is the player to watch for the Rams. He completed 12 of 23 passes for 119 yards and rushed nine times for 38 yards in that game. Earlier this season, McClelland had one carry for 2 yards at Temple.

In the North Carolina A&T game, Tyler Budge completed 10 of 19 passes for 79 yards and rushed five times for 49 yards. Terrence Campbell ran 16 times for 85 yards, caught one pass for 7 yards and scored one touchdown. Rhode Island’s other results this season include a 56-24 loss at Stony Brook, a 31-10 home win over Elon, a 38-14 loss at Temple and a 34-7 win at Merrimack.

Centreville Bank Stadium will host the in-state matchup. Brown’s schedule after this game includes a home game against Bryant, a road game at Princeton and a home game against Cornell. Rhode Island’s upcoming slate includes a road game at Yale, a home game against Albany and a home game against Maine.

Murphy has shown the ability to move Brown’s passing attack, with his 343-yard performance at New Haven standing as his most productive outing this season. McClelland has split time under center for Rhode Island and has contributed on the ground, while Campbell gives the Rams a steady rushing option.

Brown’s defense has allowed 14 points in each of its first two games, while Rhode Island has scored at least 24 points in three of its five games.
