I Back battle

[Guest Guru]

A featured depth chart drama was the plight of former first teamer

David Horne, who at the beginning of spring practice was not listed on

the two deep chart. He was third behind Cory Ross and Tierre Green

(redshirt frosh cousin of Ahman Green). From the beginning Horne took

the situation as motivation. His constructive approach was not lost on

his new position coach, Randy Jordan, who commented early on, "..Is he

going to take (being third string)?.. No. I've just seen a little bit

of his personality. He's a guy that fights and he's going to prove you

wrong." David capped off a strong spring by being the leading rusher in

the spring game and moved to 2nd string behind Ross.
