<font size="3">2012 Senior Bowl: Tuesday South Practice Report </font>
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Mississippi State running back Vick Ballard burned Texas linebacker
Emmanuel Acho on an out route. Acho came back to have good coverage
against Florida running back Chris Rainey. Ballard dropped a pass after
getting a step on Florida State linebacker Nigel Bradham. Aside from
that drop, Ballard had a strong practice. In the team scrimmage session,
Ballard had a big run behind the right side of the offensive line.
About 15 yards downfield, he was popped by LSU safety Brandon Taylor and
taken to the ground on a hard tackle. That got scouts to "ooh" and
"ahh" even though Taylor wasn't supposed to tackle Ballard. The hard
tackle didn't phase him, as Ballard broke off another big run in the
11-on-11 scrimmage when he started to the left and slashed across the
field towards the right side for a big gain.
