LSU RB coach Kevin Faulk away from team after daughter's death, not expected to coach vs. CMU

LSU running backs coach Kevin Faulk has stepped away from the team to be with his family after the death of his 19-year-old daughter earlier in the week and is not expected to participate in Saturday's game against Central Michigan.

LSU coach Ed Orgeron expressed his condolences to the Faulks during the SEC coaches' teleconference on Wednesday, saying everyone in the program is "sick to their stomach" over Kevione's death.

"I don't expect him to be here on Saturday," Orgeron said. "I expect him to take his time and put his family first."

Faulk played at LSU in the mid-1990s and became the school's all-time leading rusher.
