Here’s Maryland football coach DJ Durkin exlpaining what makes Lorenzo Harrison special

He wasn’t expected to be so good so soon, but true freshman running back Lorenzo Harrison is Maryland’s leading rusher halfway through the season. Harrison has 397 yards on 48 carries (for an 8.3 yards-per-carry average) and a team-high four touchdowns.

Here’s what DJ Durkin had to say about the DeMatha product at Tuesday’s media session:

Harrison only got five carries against Minnesota, although that total doesn’t count runs called back for holding. Expect to see more of him against Michigan State, whose run defense ranks 84th in the nation (per S&P+).
