Read the passage and choose the best answer to the question following the passage: "Mal Brown had played in the mid-sixties, during The Streak. Eighty pounds and thirty-five years
ago he had been a bruising tailback who had once carried the ball fifty-four times in a game, still a
Messina record. A quick marriage ended the college career before it began, and a quick divorce
sent him to Vietnam in time for the Tet Offensive in '68."
