Nebraska's running backs coach offered a new one last week about his much-hyped trio of freshman I-backs, Ameer Abdullah, Braylon Heard and Aaron Green.
They're like a good meal, Brown said, and you can't fully enjoy a meal until it's fully and properly cooked.
The prep stage is complete, but the trio still needs some seasoning. Coaches know the speedy freshmen are capable of bringing new flavors to this Husker offense, but none received a significant number of reps against Tennessee-Chattanooga on Saturday.
"They know they've got to be unselfish," Brown said. "They're all used to getting the ball a lot and scoring touchdowns. We've got three exceptional backs in this class. And we've got a fourth, named Rex Burkhead, who's awfully good. So it's a we-back mentality."
