How hard is it to understand? Ford may be our best runner, he isn't our best all- around back. PERIOD. He is still young.

People that act like Lee played this good last year are delusional.

It just doesn't make sense to me to have a guy outperform every other back on the team through four games, then when he is outperformed for one game, he gets taken out of the rotation.


On a team like this, with possibilities like they have, having a bad game at RB can make a big difference, and Les/Stud/Krags want every player to know it. A reduced role vs. Florida, taken to heart by a guy more inclined to improve than to pout, can pay big dividends when he's called on to carry water vs. 'Bama.

Numbers are deceiving. Most of Ford's TD's are in the redzone after Ware wore the D down. He can't block and has more fumbles than any back on the team.

Beats me........

Ford got the ball like 30 times in our 1st two games, gained like 175 yds, and had 4 scores...how much more of a "favorite" can I guy have been???

Trust in Miles...Ford did or didn't do something or the others passed him in some aspect.

LSU is 17-2 since 2010, finished @# 8 last season, is currently #1...doesn't get much better than that no matter who might be running the ball...does it?
