The move officially sends struggling senior starter Bart Houston to the bench. During last week’s win over Georgia State, it was Hornibrook who came off the bench to replace Houston and spark the Badgers offense.
In limited action this season, Hornibrook has thrown for 183 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
