Notre Dame RB Tarean Folston suffers knee injury against Texas

Notre Dame starting running back Tarean Folston left Saturday’s game against Texas with a knee injury, according to NBC.

Folston was tackled on a routine play, popped up, trotted to the sidelines and was met by trainers. NBC cameras caught shots of an emotional Folston on the trainers’ table before his knee was wrapped in ice and he walked off to the locker room.

Folston, a junior, came into the season as the Irish’s feature back. He’s rushed for 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns in his two seasons in South Bend. He had three rushes for 19 yards before he left the game.

In Folston’s absence, C.J. Prosise has become the leading rusher with freshman Josh Adams also getting carries.

We’ll update you on his condition as more information becomes available.
