Mike Ford will suffer the most out of the running backs

I think Jordan's suspension will take most of his touches. The reason being is most of his touches were going to come on the option play which will probably no longer be ran.

I think it'll add to his touches since JJ won't be in there on designed runs to much.

I can see your reasoning here, but I don't think it really affects his total number of touches.
It could affect his number of monster plays, but it could also increase other RB's big plays.

well he's also in the Miles RB Doghouse for no reason like Miles always has with someone so that will hurt the most.

It could be his calves

Wasn't Ford the leading rusher in the last scrimmage? Also, since when did he become a running back that can't run out of the I?

Where has this rantard myth that ford is the option back come from?

Actually, all of the RBs should be relatively happy the the current situation. We will pound the ball. All will get carries and a chance to shine. JJ ran A LOT. JL won't.

agree, one can only imagine how much it hurt the team to sit the more talented Ridley in favor of Scott and Williams. Looks like the NFL is getting it right though...

LSU ran the option with JL multiple times in the past few seasons. I actually think JL runs it better because JJ hardly pitches the darn thing.

Hard to argue with 1000 yards (Scott).
Posted on 8/27/11 at 9:00 am to LSUQ
the fact that he's not playin the NFL right now confuses me, Scott is big, powerful runner, and Ridley was good too, but not better than Scott, I think the injury hurt Scott more than I thoght. His style of running is made for the NFL! and KW hardly touched the ball while at LSU, when he did a big play always happened!

Dear Trollio,
How do you know he's in the dog house? If so how do you know there's no reason?
Posted on 8/27/11 at 9:19 am to coachjeaux
But more running plays will come from actual running backs. So yeah.

I don't think he is in the doghouse actually. I think he is just not the best. Go back and watch his runs from last year. When Ridley are Ware get hit they are bulldogging for more yards. Ford doesn't. I never noticed it last year until I heard that Les said he doesn't finish runs. After rewatching a bunch of the runs from last year I have to agree. Good in space but like Miles I want a RB that can get some tough yardage when the hole is not there.

we've had this argument before. Ford can get tackled by a gust of wind it seems in some plays last year
seems more about power up the middle but I don't think Ford is just the "option" RB
