SAF Paris Ford, Pittsburgh Panthers

Ford isn’t a Big Ten prospect, but he’s facing a big test this week against a top-5 ranked Notre Dame team. The Irish are physical and can run the football against just about anyone, so Ford’s hitting prowess and run fits will be on display in this game. He’ll need a big game if Pitt is going to be up to the task of upsetting the Irish, so look for this performance to be a potential “resume game” for Ford. If he flounders, however, it will be tough to bounce back.
