Doug Smock: Pair of Marshall football assistants recall memories from playing days

HUNTINGTON — A couple of old Virginia Tech defensive linemen are side-by-side again, even in their original positions.

The only thing missing, a Hokie fan might say, is their maroon and orange jerseys — Cornell Brown No. 58, J.C. Price No. 59. And Price’s hairstyle in those lovable ’90s.

They’re wearing the kelly green of Marshall these days, Price in his sixth year of coaching the defensive tackles and Brown in his first go-around tutoring the defensive ends. Again, the positions they played in Blacksburg.

Oh, do they have stories on their relationship, and on their success.
