[Husker] David Horne

[Rod Wellman]

Lost in all this back and forth about Horne is my concern that he 
really needs to get his life together.  A MIP earlier in the year, and 
now this incident establishes the fact that he probably has a serious 
drinking/drug problem.  It was the downfall of Lawrence Phillips, both 
personally and professionally.  I'd like to see Horne get the help he 
needs to get his priorities and his life together.  Whether those 
priorities include football are not up to us...they are up to him, his 
counselors, the administration and the coaches, who all have a better 
feel of what is going on than we do.
