    LSU coach Les Miles says RB Michael Ford cleared to play Saturday, LB Tahj Jones out


    BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU coach Les Miles says running back Michael Ford has been cleared to play against North Texas in the No. 3 Tigers’ opener on Saturday night, but he is unsure when linebacker Tahj Jones may be able to return.

    Ford and Jones both had appealed unspecified problems with their academic standing which placed their eligibility in doubt earlier this week.
    Ford was LSU’s leading rusher in 2011 with 756 yards and seven touchdowns. Miles says Alfred Blue and Kenny Hilliard remain the top running backs heading into the game against the Mean Green, but he expects Ford to get some carries and possibly play on special teams.

    The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Jones was a projected strong-side starter. Luke Muncie is now expected to start in his spot

    Losing Tahj hurts. Any chance this gets resolved this season?

    There is always a chance, but since they cleared Ford and did not clear Jones, it means they have more serious issues with him. That ain't good.

    Ford actually had a family friend attorney put together his appeal. Which likely sped up the process too. Not sure what the issues are with either but many feel that Jones has the bigger issues.

    son of a bitch. why not just let Mett go to a bar and grab some asses, have Brad Wing go kick someone in the skull, Mingo and Montogomery get arrested for something stupid and Bennie Logan quit. Losing Jordan Jefferson and some special teamers at best is nothing compared to what we have lost this year in 2 players.
