Adrian Abner and the Emporia State Hornets finally got a little payback.
After losing a heartbreaker to Truman on Homecoming last year that knocked ESU out of a bowl game, Abner and the Hornets got a little redemption on Senior Day Saturday at Welch Stadium with a 52-18 win.
“I know last year, man, we let them comeback on us, and they ended up beating us and everything,” said Abner, who had a key fumble last year, but atoned for that with 13 rushes for 68 yards and scored two touchdowns on Saturday. “And this year, we were up at halftime and put our foot on their throats and kept going.”
