true. One of Abe's strategies to win the game. He also told Frogs not to tackle Brown head on.Players had to play both ways (single platoon) and Leap said the Frogs on offense attacked Brown to wear him down.

Yep. My first thought was, "That wasn't Jim Brown, that was Cleavon Little!"
For a couple of decades #23 was reserved and only given to special players. For example, when Mike Renfro hit campus he was immediately bestowed #23.One of Jim Swink’s greatest photos was of him catching the ball on the run with Jim Brown defending him. One of my all time favorite sports photos.

Yes....It was b/w originally....It seems like the original photo was a black & white and not colorized like the one above. It had an element of higher tension than the one in color gives off.

Before Steelers it was Tech. TD called back due supposed offensive interference.Hey, I thought he wore 82, that’s why I looked it up!
There is absolutely no doubt about that. Stuck out like a sore thumb on those teams. (Still caught that TD againtst the Steelers too!)
Before my time but think Luttrell was 23 too.For a couple of decades #23 was reserved and only given to special players. For example, when Mike Renfro hit campus he was immediately bestowed #23.
