LSU football: Logan Diggs doubtful to play vs. Florida, Brian Kelly says
BATON ROUGE — LSU football running back Logan Diggs is doubtful to play in the Tigers' matchup against Florida on Saturday (6:30 p.m., SEC Network) with an upper body injury, coach Brian Kelly said during his weekly radio show Thursday.
Kelly earlier in the day had listed Diggs as questionable to play after participating in practice on Thursday with a red non-contact jersey.
Diggs is LSU's leading rusher at running back. He has 635 rushing yards and is averaging 5.6 yards per carry but his production has been limited the last two weeks, only running for 26 yards on six carries against Army and for 24 yards on eight carries at Alabama last week.
If Diggs is unable to play, LSU will have to turn to Josh Williams, John Emery Jr. and Kaleb Jackson at running back.
The Tigers head into their matchup with Florida having won their last four games against the Gators. Last year, LSU beat Florida in Gainesville, 45-35.
