re: Why no ODB33...

The game dictated how much we passed. In a close game we will pass more. In a game under control, we will run almost exclusively. Noticed when Florida scored and went for two, we started throwing again and scored quickly. Then we went right back to pounding the ball.

No, he's not.
Blue is playing well, and I'm happy for that. He has earned some carries for sure. However, Ford got one carry. You can't say that Blue is outplaying him when Ford gets one carry.
It is pretty obvious that Miles is trying to communicate something to Ford. What that is, who knows. I think we can only speculate. Maybe it's as some have suggested that his blocking has been subpar.
Blue is a fine back. He's got good body lean and he plays hard. Ford is a different kind of runner, though, because he is a threat to score every play. Only other back on the team with that kind of ability is Shepard (if you call him a "back").

You can't say one, then say the other.
We don't know why Blue is playing, and Ford isn't. McGee had more carries than Ford yesterday.

1. We can safely assume that Les wants to win the game
2. We can also assume that each back has some deficiencies and some positive skills.
3. We can further deduce that since the coaches are more in contact with the players (in practice, off the field,etc..) they know their abilities better than the fans do.
4. Instead of looking at it as a punishment for Ford - it could be thought of as a reward for Blue.
5. Since there are a lot of good RBs - and Ware sat out the Kentucky game, (given that the game was in hand) Ford could have been kept aside for the Tennessee game
6. Conspiracy theory - maybe couple of the visiting recruits are being hosted by Blue and Magee

I think our lack of passing yesterday was more due to how we were running the ball. We were getting at least 4-5 almost every play it seemed with a few exceptions of course but for the most part we were running over them

Ford can't block worth a damn, do know this.

I don't get the support for one productive player over another one, Blue is getting it done, this is not a deal where Blue is getting carries and not producing.
Ford is solid, he will get his shot but instead of worrying about why he or Beckham did not get touches how 'bout praising Blue and Randle and what they did when they got the ball?
Holy shite...someone who gets it...
