I understand that it's RB by committee but he played almost flawless football last night. His vision, decision making, and acceleration through the hole was better than Ware.

Just my opinion.

CLM hates MF42 just like he hated KW. MF42 should wear #5 IMO.

Missed a couple of blocks last night.

That's why Ware is the starting RB

To be honest with you, I was surprised LSU ran like they did... Oregon stacking 9 in the box is tough.. if they don't get a passing game going, these SEC defenses are gonna null the offense out like last year

MF was awful in pass protection.

Lee got leveled a couples times on for lack of effort in pass protection.

Ford would have run for at least 150 if he got the rock as much as ware did.

He absolutely whiffed on a block that almost got Lee killed and probably caused an incomplete pass. The guy can really run the rock though.

I'd rather a guy that can pound the ball when it comes to SEC play. Ford will get his carries and if he proves to be more effective against SEC defenses he should be #1. Until then, let's hurt some front-7's.

I missed the whiff. My bad fellas. So why can't he be our 1st/2nd down back and have ware for screens and pass protection?

Look I understand fans wanting certain players to be "spotlighted"


what ya'll don't get, I think, is that what works at LSU is the TEAM. And it works. How can you not like the rotation that we saw last night? Who cares who's on the field for play #1?


Ford missed couple of blocks yes, first "big" run he ran up the Olinemans back while the hole was open, then hit the hole


so give it a rest with the this guy should be #1, LSU is a TEAM. Whoever plays the TEAM has faith in them, why can't fans?


fricking trying to ruin my Sunday after a glorious Saturday night

I usually don't agree with splitting time, but in this situation, I absolutely agree it's perfect the way it is.

Because you have to throw on those downs at times, and right now he is a major liability in protection. He will get plenty of carries. We have a good thing going with these 2 backs. Anyone comparing the use of Ford to how much we used Keiland Williams is crazy. Ford's gonna get 15-20 carries.

-Ford looked lost in pass protection.

You guys just don't let up on the pass protection BS. Been hearing this crap since last year. So the guy is not that great in pass protection. Take a look during the games with Ware and Blue..it happens when you miss a block and I seen it in their case also. But Ford can outright run and everybody knows it! Ware is the starter; but we got a combination going now. Enough Said!
