While at Lone Oak, Brown and Robinson formed a dynamic duo that helped put the football program on the map. They were instrumental in setting state and national records during the 2007 season, including Robinson's 91 touchdown passes - many of which were caught by Brown. Lone Oak went undefeated until its match-up with Lexington Catholic in the KHSAA 4A state championship.

This is by far the closest Robinson has played to Paducah since being named the starter last season. His first season at the helm for Troy saw the Trojans go 8-5, including a postseason win in the R+L Carriers Bowl over Ohio University. He finished tied for 9th overall in passing yards in Division I. Robinson earned the Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Award, and was named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt Offensive Team in advance of this season. He was also named to both the Davey O'Brien and Manning awards watch lists.

Brown began this season the right way, becoming the No. 1 "Z" receiver on WKU's depth chart in advance of its game against Kentucky. He's a member of a fairly inexperienced receiving group, and will be looked on to move the chains for WKU.

Clash of the Flash guests are encouraged to wear purple and gold.
