1980 Profile: Conrad Dobler
Guard
No. 69

1980 Profile: Curtis Brown
Running Back
No. 47
Missouri
"Rundown Brown. What happened to Curtis a year ago? The same thing that happened to Terry Miller, we can only guess. Brown rushed for 574 yards (3.3) and only one touchdown. He showed more promise the year before with 591 yards (4.6) and four touchdowns.
Maybe he was tired from the extra pass-catching. Brown finished third on the club with 39 receptions, including one for 84 yards.
Born in St. Louis, Brown rushed for 375 yards in one game for Scott JC (Kansas). He transferred to Missouri where he bruised Oklahoma one afternoon with 20 carries for 153 yards."
-Dave Newhouse, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football, 1980 Edition
"A powerful runner, Curtis' quickness and strength make him extremely difficult to bring down. He scored a touchdown on a 102-yard kickoff return against the Colts in 1978."
