Dennis Erickson has not coached a game yet for the Arizona State Sun Devils, but the wayward head coach is already making an imprint on the program.

Erickson has announced he'll be moving running back Rudy Burgess back to wide receiver for his Senior year.

Erickson had recruited Burgess to Oregon State as a wide receiver, but Rudy chose the Sun Devils, who shifted him to running back in 2004, when he racked up 186 yards on 34 carried against Stanford.

Asked by the Arizona Republic if Burgess could play both ways, Erickson responded, "It's not fair for him (Burgess) as far as having a great senior season."
