A 35-yard pass from Christian English to Ray Brown set up a quarterback sneak for a touchdown, giving Fresno City College a 22-18 victory over Sierra College in the season opener in Rocklin on Aug. 29.<\/p>\n
Brown finished with 3 receptions for 65 yards.<\/p>\n
Fresno City hosts Foothill at 5 p.m. Saturday in a nonconference game.<\/p>\n
In this week\u2019s Q&A, The Bee caught up with the former Edison High standout.<\/p>\n
Question: You guys had a slow start against Sierra. What do you need to do this week to avoid another slow start?<\/p>\n
Ray Brown: Come out playing harder from the start. I felt like we played a little weak coming out. Got punched in the mouth early, and then tried playing catch-up at the end. And luckily, we came out with the win.<\/p>\n
Q: You were wide open and English saw you. What is it about you two?<\/p>\n
RB: Just a lot of trust. I know he trusts me to go get it, and I trust him to get the ball there. So it\u2019s just a lot of trust.<\/p>\n
Q: What do you want to do for yourself this year? I mean, as far as your goals and stuff. We\u2019re already one game into the season, but what are your expectations for yourself the rest of the way?<\/p>\n
RB: Make it out of JUCO, pretty much. Make it to the next level.<\/p>\n
Q: Are you hearing any buzz about that, as far as recruitment?<\/p>\n
RB: It\u2019s really just been in the middle. Just a slow grind, I would say. Just keep being humble. It\u2019s gonna come.<\/p>\n
Q: Obviously, you\u2019re one of the leaders in the receiver room \u2014 how can you motivate these guys to get going?<\/p>\n
RB: I would say just show up every day and work hard so they can follow behind and do the same thing.<\/p>\n
Q: What does your work ethic do for everybody else?<\/p>\n
RB: I will set the tone for everybody else.<\/p>\n
Q: Towards the end of the game against Sierra, did you feel a different type of energy?<\/p>\n
RB: Yeah, I definitely felt the energy from everybody, from the coaches to the players.<\/p>\n
