For him to not be in the top two rotation is concerning for sure


His running style doesn’t fit what Kiffin wants to do.

I’m not sure the answer is that simple. Kiffin and staff fought to keep both Berry and Durham here

Yeah that’s it, it’s some 3d chess from Kiffin. In practice he breaks off a couple 80yd TDs then Coaches just sit him down before anyone turns the cameras on.
I think Lane has him practicing this week in a different number so when Saturday gets here he can sprint him out there and holla Checkmate. This is Big Boy football, people’s livelihood, jobs, futures, money and winning.
Surely you JEST! If not ugh

One of the reasons we could not run the ball last year has become apparent.

I read he's injured and limited which is why he has been limited. At the very least seems like Kiffin would have him coming out of the backfield for the receiving game and he hasn't even that so it makes sense he might be hurt. I found it surprising he kept him and Durham on the roster when they were the opposite type backs he wants so I'd imagine he has something in mind for him we haven't seen. There's no way he put the film on and said, "yeah, that guy will develop into someone who breaks 5 tackles per run". He knew what he was getting.

That’s because they had to have em if for no other reasons than depth. But think about the style of running that Kiffin implements. It’s a downhill, hit the hole hard rush attack. Berry and Durham both aren’t that type of runner.

They’re a stretch run, one cut and they’re gone type back with their speed. Those types of runners are very effective in the correct offense but they’ve got to have elite vision and I haven’t seen that from either Durham or Berry. And Durham’s problem seems to be that he’s lost a step since his freshman year as well. You’ve got to have the linemen that can make that work as it’s not the easiest blocking scheme and we proved that last year we don’t have that type of personnel, too.

Couple that with their apparent pass blocking deficiencies and they just seem like they’ve been passed up. I’d love to get both of them more in the fold but if they’re not a fit then they’re not a fit.
