I was reading about this year class and how Specer Ware might be our starting back this year, but i believe Michael Ford will be the guy to beat for the starting position.

Michael was rated as the 2nd best prospect in Louisiana last year by Superprep, no. 3 by Scout.com, no. 5 by Rivals.com, and no. 7 by ESPN, those are some pretty good accolades. I am looking forward to watching both of these young men play, but i wouldn't just hand Ware the job just yet i think Mr. Ford will have something to say about that, when its all said and done.

I could definitely see a combo of Ford/Murphy at TB and Ridley back at FB at some point during the season next year.

Whoever comes out of spring the #1 TB will have a significant advantage over any of the incoming freshmen. Ware would have to be unbelievable to come in and start immediately. But he should get significant playing time.

Ricky Murphy will set the bar.

I agree that Ford will get much of the workload. He is a better back than Ridley or Murphy. Ware does look like he's ready to contribute right away.

From what I've heard from a reliable source Michael Ford is an absolute beast in the weight room. And it's not just the weight room. He would of gotten on the field last year had their not been so many RBs in front of him. He will be special.

Ford is one of the strongest players on the team pound for pound.

I think the ball will be spread out pretty much with 4 or even 5 backs. Ridley, Murphy, Ford, Shepperd, Ware. A few for Gore as well.
