No. 4 LSU likely won’t have leading rusher Caden Durham when the Tigers visit No. 13 Ole Miss on Saturday in an early-season SEC showdown in Oxford, Miss., ESPN reported on Friday.
Per the report, Durham is doubtful with an ankle injury, though he is listed as questionable on Friday’s SEC availability report.
Tops among Tigers running backs this season with 213 yards on 52 carries, Durham was injured last Saturday in a 56-10 win over SE Louisiana. Durham had trouble running Friday during LSU’s final walk-through and was limited in practice all week, according to the report.
If Durham can’t play, second-leading rusher Harlem Berry (15 carries, 87 yards) will look to fill the void along with Ju’Juan Johnson and Kaleb Jackson.
The Tigers average just 116.8 yards on the ground, which ranks No. 111 nationally. Only South Carolina (80.3) has a lower rushing average in the SEC.
