They are good, but they must fight for playing time behind two experienced seniors. The leader of the group is somewhat a forgotten man on the team. But Jason Ford is in the best shape of his life and ready for a great season. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1100445.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1100445.html Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:31:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois The Fighting Illini football team is bracing for the possibility star running back Mikel Leshoure might decide to enter his name in the NFL draft. If he should leave, upcoming senior Jason Ford will be expected to carry the rushing load for the Illini next fall. Whether he shares the rock with Leshoure next year or not, Ford will prepare to have his best season. http://illinois.scout.com/2/1036784.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/1036784.html Tue, 04 Jan 2011 22:25:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Last year, the Fighting Illini football team struggled finding a consistent running attack. Injuries and inexperience, coupled with the loss to the NFL of star runner Rashard Mendenhall, all contributed to the problem. Now a sophomore, Jason Ford is working diligently to reverse that trend. http://illinois.scout.com/2/891743.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/891743.html Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:17:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Last year, the Illini football team used a "running back by committee." That may continue to occur this fall as four players are all competing for playing time. But freshman Jason Ford began to assert himself late in the year, and he is now in better shape and has the experience to get an abundance of carries. http://illinois.scout.com/2/856075.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/856075.html Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:59:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Illini head coach Ron Zook was in a much better frame of mind for his Sunday review of the Indiana game than he was last week after Minnesota. A satisfying win will do that for you. And the media questions centered on more positive aspects of the football team as well. http://illinois.scout.com/2/802904.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/802904.html Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:43:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Coach Ron Zook said the 2008 Fighting Illini would use running backs "by committee" to replace departed All-American Rashard Mendenhall. Four backs are competing for playing time, and each has made contributions this year. The Indiana game was freshman Jason Ford's coming out party. http://illinois.scout.com/2/802869.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/802869.html Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:13:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois A fired up Fighting Illini football team dominated a struggling Indiana outfit 55-13 Saturday night in Memorial Stadium. Wanting to eliminate the bad taste left from the Minnesota loss, they scored early and often, making few mistakes and taking advantage of opportunities. And another rookie had a breakout game. http://illinois.scout.com/2/802516.html 2047 Jack Lyman http://illinois.scout.com/2/802516.html Sun, 19 Oct 2008 05:44:00 GMT 1 169 Illinois illinois Today here at InsideIllini.com we had the chance to speak with the father of Jason Ford about his son’s decision to become a Fighting Illini.
