If Ford is as good as advertised, he sure as hell isn't going to spend 5 years at LSU anyway. And if he's not as good as advertised, why are you so concerned about him losing his redshirt?

This has always been my argument against redshirting RBs. If they're good, they won't stay 5 years. If they're not good enough to leave after 4 years, they probably aren't that good anyway and have been passed up on the depth chart. But that was an argument for having Ford play all season. At this point, I would only do it if Ridley goes down. We say the 2 games are meaningless--and they might be to us. But I bet they aren't to the players, especially the SRs. They shouldn't have to forfeit their last 2 games so that 1 dude can be a SR in 2013 instead of 2012.
