Limon (11-2), which has won a Colorado record 17 championships, was held to 1 yard rushing.
The only signs of life came in the third quarter, when Brown found Marcelis Tatum for a touchdown, but Duncan Krause intercepted Brown on the Badgers’ next series.
Akron finished with 366 yards rushing, 470 in total offense.
