True Freshman quickly becoming one of my favorites!
Got hurt vs South Alabama after scoring 2nd TD ; big 325lb Miles Frazier falls on the back of his leg .....he limps off field to the sideline ; didn't look good and was hoping not a significant Foot injury. Surprisingly ....he came back in the game ; after a few runs ; re-aggrevated it..... That was it for the game.
After the BYE Week.....was pleased to see him playing vs Ole Miss ; but you could clearly see he was not close to 100% . But Durham's toughness gutted it out!!
So despite rushing for 101 yards 3 TDs on 21 carries vs Arkansas ; CBK said he was ""ONLY 80% """ healthy...WOW!! IMPRESSIVE!! And still ran that 22 yard TD too!!!
Heard he had a couple dislocated toes?? Props to this Tough Dude!!

"I'm really impressed with a freshman running back that is not playing at 100 percent, but in there playing with grit and toughness," Kelly said.
"Just the kind of resolve that he has... a lot of guys would not be in the game. He's playing at about 80-85 percent. He has great vision and toughness and keeps his legs moving."
"Injuries are hard to deal with at any position. But when you are a running back, and you have an injury, and you're still fighting through it. I think it says a lot about the young man. I'm really proud of him."
