Late last month, Les Miles, speaking about LSU’s inability to have any kind of sustained success running the football the past two years, said the school will head into the 2010 season “with a renewed affirmation and feel and want to run the football.”
Based on one scrimmage at least, 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.”
