Close to becoming RB1 Battle is close to securing the starting running back spot for TCU, Sarah Smith of Dallas Morning News reports. Impact Battle has only been truly involved in one game this season with an inactive status for the first five weeks. This past week against Utah, the junior running back logged eight rushes for 45 yards and two catches for 19 yards, but he could be edging closer to becoming the lead rusher for the Horned Frogs. This likely means he'll be competing to take over main backfield duties from running back Cam Cook this Saturday against Texas Tech, but the actual game should provide a better indication on if Battle is the ball carrier the team is looking to rock with moving on.
