IMO I think Ford should have been used even more last night.

I know we have a ton of backs, but early on it was apparent that Fords speed and quickness was more effective against their D.

Mett was severly rattled and I am more understanding of why he didn't play in the ship. Dude was physically tripping on his own feet he was so unsure of what to do and when to do it.

It will get better, but right now we are not ready to go to FLA or play Bama and feel confident.

Coaches were NOT impressive either.

Miles would rather lose than win by not running it right up the middle with a 230lb back every play.

They play the "hot hand" at RB...unless the hot hand is not Jacob Hester or Spencer Ware. Then the hot hand grabs some pine to watch more toss dives.

Went the wrong way on a play, and he was hardly ever used again.

Ford deserved to sit last night. You go the wrong way and miss a handoff when 2 other talented guys are waiting in the wings then you'll ride pine.

Again, the coaches were NOT impressive.

Those types of errors are what will continually haunt Miles and the offense.

There is a reason it feels like LSU lost. Auburn was the better prepared team and played to their potential while LSU look like a team with ZERO identity.

Im a homer with the rest of you, but this team has NO chance of going undefeated in this conference.

And enough with the babble about our defense. THey got owned at times and if Frazier was half way decent, Aub wins by 10

Fans only care how good he looks running with the ball.

Coaches care how he looks picking up blocks and running the right plays.

I will trust the coaches.

I like Ford and don't understand why he doesn't get more touches. He's the one RB "home run" threat ability. Make no mistake, Ware was excellent last night, but with your offense struggling why not put in the the hands of the guy who has the ability to "house it" a few more times

Rewatch the game. He makes mistakes. Now I see why he's dropped on the depth chart.
