Durham continues unlocking the rushing attack, diversifying the playbook for the Tigers during SEC play.
LSU true freshman running back Caden Durham has unlocked the Tigers' rushing attack in 2024 as he continues playing at a Freshman All-American level this season.
"Injuries are hard to deal with at any position, but when you're a running back and you've got an injury and you're still fighting through it, I think it says a lot about the young man and I'm really proud of him." On the season? Durham is up to 382 yards and eight touchdowns on 62 carries for averages of 6.2 yards per attempt and 63.7 yards per contest.“I’m really impressed with a freshman running back that is not playing at 100%, but in there playing with grit and toughness and just the kind of resolve that he has,” Kelly said.
“Trying to find that consistency is really about balance and being good in both phases of running the ball, throwing the ball, stopping the run, being efficient in terms of pass defense. Those are areas that we’ve worked hard. So winning for me is about how you can get to a level of consistency at all phases. And we’re getting better at that. We had some glaring weaknesses in one of those phases or another and we’re shoring those up as we go through this season.
