Jonathan Brown leads by example

"In everything I do, I try to set an example," Brown said. "We've got a lot of young guys. We've got a lot of guys who haven't played much. I don't necessarily have to be more vocal, just do things right."

Brown is happy with the start of Camp Rantoul, which has been shortened this season to a week.

"Adjusting to the changes, that's been something new," Brown said. "But I think our guys have done a good job of doing it. And we're going to continue to do a good job of doing it, play like a champion. Hopefully, we go get that Big Ten championship."
