SDSU's Price tries to lock up RB spotChase Price goes into every camp trying to win a job By Stefanie Loh You've got to feel for Chase Price. Since he got to San Diego State, the Aztecs' junior running back has always done enough to keep himself in the conversation for the backup running back job, but he just hasn't managed to shut the door on all contenders. In 2012, he put up 29 carries for 114 yards as the No. 3 back behind Adam Muema and Walter Kazee. In 2013, Price came out of camp as the No. 2 back behind Muema, and earned his moment to shine when Muema sustained an injury in the season opener against Eastern Illinois. It was short-lived though. The highlight of Price's season came in the Game 3 against Oregon State, when he reeled off an impressive 18-yard run. But he separated his shoulder against the Beavers and ended up missing the next three games. Read More: www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/aug/08/aztecs-running-backs-chase-price/
