When he can outplay Hill, Ware, Hilliard, and Blue (when he's healthy) he'll get more carries.

So many people bitching on here about RS not getting more carries, so Ford has to suffer.

I just don't get what's wrong with Ford, he has great talent but he don't block, catch and he misses the holes. I thought he would be the superstar not Ware or RS.

It's easy to see why Hill is getting the bulk of the carries he has great vision and catches and block very well. He's an every down back. This is pretty amazing for a freshman. I hope he lives up to the hype for next year.

Ford has a level of speed that no other RB on the roster has.

He should get Ware's carries. Ever since he was suspended, he has never been the same.

Who???

I'll give you Hill, but no other back on this roster is clearly better.

To say Hilliard and Ware are clearly better is ridiculous. The guy gets 5 yards every pop it seems and has breakaway speed unlike the rest

While valuable, at some point a running back has to...you know...run.

when he starts running to the hole, not the sideline and he shows he can block and make smart decisions with the ball he will get more carries. he broke one kickoff today, more because arky totally overran their coverage....two others were near disasters and put us in horrible field position. the kid is talented but it takes more than talent to get the trust of the staff. if he keeps working hard I can see him becoming more involved in the game plan. JMO.

I don't see any reason why Hillard would be getting carries over Ford. I think that Ford has proven to be our third best back (not counting Blue) this season. He has speed to get around the corner and is running tough inside. Also why was Hillard taking touches away from Shep today?

you really have to wonder why any four or five star offensive player would want to come here. It's a career killer. Defensively we can hold our own with anyone, but offensively we suck big donkey balls in developing players .
