The play against UL Monroe where he drops a toss on the option, picks it up, and reverses it for a TD

You see the speed, power and athleticism that has everyone all excited, and you see him just drop a toss with no one around him, and you can see maybe why he sin't our starter.

ALl i know is if he ever puts it all together, whatever is missing, he will be amazing.

Best observation i've read yet! I think he will light it up on the option this year! If they don't get called back for holding like most did last year!

It's not impressive against a team like ULM. They're there for target practice.

It is unbelievable how strong Ford is. I like him as a bruiser. He will definitely bring some pain to the defense.

I know ULM isn't good and that is the point. he made it look easy which is exactly how is should look against ULM. YEt at the same time he made it look insanely hard by fumbling for not reason against ULM.

Good post Sammy, I think most will agree with you about Ford. I just hope we don't end up with another KW. Ford has to much talent to watch him struggle to find himself for 4 years.

Oh you've seen the way he dodges around defenders on the way to the end zone instead of running straight at them to show his virile manly toughness. It almost as if he doesn't want to be tacked.

McFadden+Jones 2.0

Ware will do most of the legwork, and Ford will bust off gains of 20 and 30 plus yards.

We are going to gain stupid silly amounts of yardage on the option this year.

Honestly I am hoping to not see the option very much this year unless its to the wide side of the field

Saw a article somewhere. Had Ford as one of the toughest players in College Football. Was surprised to see his name on there.

Miles seems to like his RB by committee idea. Just doesn't seem to know how to do it right. A Ware/Ford combo could be possibly one of LSU's best backfield duo's in a long time. Tho I don't seem him using them right or effectively.

I see. Run up the middle. Run up the middle. Crossing route across the middle short a yard. Punt on 4th and 1.

You see into the future, eh?

Got a lot of faith in Krags, I see.

Definitely a mental issue with Ford right now.

I'm not getting my hopes up. When I see production I'll believe it. Last year Billy G was brought in to bring life to the passing game. I don't think we were that effective.

Ford is one of my favorite recruites ever and im a member of mike fords biceps fan club. I hope he can get a decent amount of carries this year.

Is it weird hat one reason i am a fan is that he doesn't where gloves, wristband or really anything? Really stand out. It looks like he just walked in off the street and got thrown in some pads.

You really cant compare the impact a OC has against a positions coach who we just thought would basically be an OC.
