Feed Ford?

Through 4 games, Jason Ford is averaging 3.5 yards per carry. Donovonn Young is averaging 7.9 yards per carry. Troy Pollard 10.4. Granted, Ford has been getting the bulk of the work -- the we-need-2-yards-on-third-and-one work -- so the feature back will always see his ypc lowered a little. But 3.5 yards per carry is 3.5 yards per carry -- that's not what we were hoping for in Ford's senior season.
