Mike Ford

        The University of South Florida Football program is in mourning this week over the loss of former USF running back Mike Ford. Ford, who scored 23 career rushing touchdowns in his time at the University of South Florida, has passed away at the age of 38.

     Embodying a rugged running style, Ford had a breakthrough season as a rookie in 2007, leading the Bulls to an Associated Press Poll ranking of number two. Ford scored 12 running touchdowns to lead the squad.

     After his time at USF, Ford went on to play for Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
