UConn's second-leading tackler Ty-Meer Brown will miss his first career game after suffering a shoulder stinger following a head-to-head collision in practice earlier this week.

Brown appeared in all 12 games in the 2011 and 2012 season and all seven games this season.

Not only is Brown one of UConn's most reliable tacklers and is also a rock solid cover guy for the Huskies.

Andrew Adams, who was slated to be a starter before injuring his shoulder late in preseason camp, is expected to get the start in place of Brown.
