Price Wonders Why Things Aren’t Right

Freshman running back Durell Price is concerned about his contribution to the Bruin offense.

It could be that his knee, injured in the Oregon game two weeks ago, is still bothering him, Coach Bob Toledo said Thursday.

But Price, who backs up Skip Hicks, won’t admit that.

“I’m just worried,” he said. “Is it my running style? Why is the offense stopping when I go in?”

Price, who ran for 110 yards in 14 carries against Northeast Louisiana, has 39 yards in 22 carries since.

“I have to talk to coaches and find out what’s wrong,” Price said. “I have to do something.”
