TROY – True freshman running back Kimani Vidal had another big game in Troy’s 31-29 win over Eastern Kentucky on Saturday, rushing for 143 yards on 13 carries.
He had 93 yards by halftime on just six carries, which included a 1-yard scoring run.
A week ago during a win over Texas State, the Marietta (Ga.) High School product ran for 106 yards on 12 carries. Vidal becomes the first true freshman in program history to record back-to-back 100-yard rushing games.
“It’s all the O-line,” Vidal said. “I’m supposed to break tackles. The O-line made the holes and I ran through them.
