A converted defensive back, Gene Brown quarterbacked the Charlie Taaffe-coached Bulldogs to the 1988 I-AA playoffs, the college's first postseason appearance since the 1960 Tangerine Bowl. Named the 1988 Southern Conference offensive player of the year, Brown also was voted the Palmetto State's player of the year. He holds the school single-game record for rushing (286 yards vs. VMI in '88), and appears on the school's best single-season rushing touchdown list (16 in '88), single-season record for points scored (90 in '88) and single-season rushing yards (1,058 in '88).
