Although Taylor had been working out with the team lately, this is no surprise. Personally, I think the team will be better off with Jamall Charles as their No. 1 back and Selvin Young as a second option.
While the Horns will certainly miss VY who was their leading rusher in '05 (1,050 yards, 12 TDs), Taylor (513 yards, 12 TDs) is easily replaced. They have returning running backs Jamaal Charles (878 yards, 11 TDs), Selvin Young (461 yards, 8 TDs) and Henry Melton (432 yards, 10 TDs). These guys provide plenty of options in the backfield for the '06 season having rushed for a combined 1,771 yards and 29 TDs last year.
