[Husker] Freshman Team?

[Brown, Laura (LLU)]

The good old days with Tagge and Van Brownson sharing time in the back
field.  That is the only time I remember a sharing situation working at
NU.  Of course I might be remembering wrong.

Keep in mind that freshmen weren't eligible to play varsity in the
heyday of
the freshmen teams. I recall going to see Van Brownson play on the
freshmen
team. Varsity wasn't an option (pun intended) and he was highly touted.
He
looked great, but every so often when it was third down and ten, they
would
bring in this big, slow looking kid with his leg all taped up. Maybe it
was
even in a cast. And then he would throw a bullet for a first down and
they
would bring Van Brownson back in. The big kid with the rifle arm was
Jerry
Tagge.
