The first half of what would become a record-breaking career for Jon Cornish featured a total of three carries for eight yards in his first two full seasons (after redshirting in 2002). It was not exactly hitting the ground running like with Clark Green.
Cornish broke through as a junior with 780 yards and nine touchdowns, but it was the way he finished his career that left an impression on the program and paved the way for an incredible professional career.
