LSU's HC Les Miles, may have found someone who may help prop up the sagging ground attack.
Redshirt freshman Michael Ford rushed for 76 yards on 16 carries in the second scrimmage of the spring, and Miles said it could be a sign of things to come.
"Michael makes a nice natural cut, gets up into space and he comes out the other side if he can," Miles said according to the Shreveport Times. "He's a good runner, and he's going to give us some carries this fall.". LSU coach Les Miles particularly liked Ford's short-yardage efforts.
"He really took some really difficult snaps up in there for some short yards, 13 carries for 40 yards thereabouts," Miles said. "Both he and Stevan Ridley are competing very well at that spot, and they're dependable."
Ford rushed for 4,854 yards in his Leesville High career but was unable to earn a playing role last season as LSU was stocked at tailback with Charles Scott, Keiland Williams and Ridley. That could change in 2010 with Scott and Williams gone.
