Will Michael Ford ever get the Touches He Deseres?

This guy is too good to just be returning kicks. IMO he should be the "number one" in a stable of extremely talented backs. He's got the speed and the strength to either run between the tackles or turn the corner and get to the outside. And yeah I know Hilliard had the 70 yard run tonight but I don't se that happening that often with him. Ford is probably our quickest back who can burn secondary players. I just never understood why he never played more.
But hell, I'll take 250 yards rushing from a stable anyday.
Great game tigers!

Why give MF touches when we can burn Jeremy Hill's redshirt?

yet hes number 3
in now way should he be 1. if you were arguing kenny id say thats legit but not ford.
Ford is awesome and would be the stud at 99% of the other colleges in the country but hes not number 1 here nor should he be.
and he is by far the worst pass blocker of the RBs

You really thought Hill was going to redshirt this year?

Fords been around long enough and has avg 6yds a pop for his career at LSU. Dude deserves more than 1 carry.

Jeremy Hill deserves touches against Idaho. It's Idaho for cryin out loud. Triple H and Hill are the future!

Knowing Miles, no. He DGAF about redshirts, especially for RBs.

It would take 12 quarters for Les to get all his RB carries in
Just remember RB's are a dime a dozen, Ford as great as he was in high school is just the next in line at RB. There's a reason their draft stock is dropping.

He isn't really needed.

He does, but he's a lot like Kieland Williams in being a little inconsistent compared to the guys who just tear through the hole -- and a lot better on the outside.
No way they could redshirt Hill.
He might be the best back on the field.

This right here is why he's not getting his touches. Very underrated part of the game for running backs.

I was told by a player on the team that redshirting Hill " is the plan"
this was maybe a week before the season started

meh, we're stacked at RB. Blue/Hilliard could easily carry the load themselves. Add in Ware/Ford we stacked... we'd be fine w/o Hill.
After that long TD run by KH tonight, IDK how u can say Hill may be the best. Hilliard is a straight beast, reminiscent of Cecil Collins on that long TD.
Hill looks just aight tonight vs a worn down Idaho D.

How does Ford only get one carry?
Posted on 9/16/12 at 1:02 am to Draconian Sanctions
i agree he should get touches but shite if he gets ten touches people would bitch that Kenny isnt getting enough touches or someone else. when you have the talent at a position like LSU does at RB someone is always going to be left out and people will cry out that they know more than the coaches

Fwiw, I agree with you. Miles plays who practices the hardest, which is fair, but I think ford is still our strongest back with great vision. Prolly the fastest too.

Well....we gotta bitch about something, right?
