there are not too many guys who converted 2 third downs for us last night. also he converted in the redzone.
I saw those runs, and they were pretty much gifts from the OL. I am pretty sure I could have made it through those holes - (although I might not have been able to get up afterwards.)
I'd like to see him break some tackles or run over someone like I know Ford can do before my confusion over the order of selection goes away.
Let's be clear - if Blue is better than Ford, I do NOT begrudge his playing. But that should be pretty evident in the coming games. There needs to be some outstanding play by Blue to erase the expectations a lot of us have from Ford - either that or seeing Ford NOT be able to produce.
Let's play the best players ==== no problem with that.

did you read any of that post? he is used in situational opportunities. i seriously doubt you would have converted those runs. why is everyone treating this kid like shite? some have never heard of him...who cares?.......shut up. the kid has come in to LSU and practiced one summer and has earned a spot on the field. why is that his fault?
ford is a feature back........competing with ridley. blue is a short yardage back. he is not flashy....he gets in there and runs hard where he is supposed to run. he will get you those 5 yards. he will plow his way forward. very unselfish, disciplined runner who can also block. he has a role that he has earned so far. ford will have to beat out ridley and murphy. he had the chance to do so and hasn't so far. he will get more carries and be an excellent back, but lay off of blue. kid is just doing his job, which most people don't seem to understand.

yeah thats the ticket, the coaching staff has to prove to you that Blue is better than Ford because of why?
