Tell me about Clifford Kwaw-Mensah
- Thread starter boblaporte
- Start date
Looks like he scored five of Ames first six touchdowns, I'm guessing they sat their starters in the second half(if not before) otherwise his numbers probably would have been crazy.

Went to the game last night. Got to talk to his dad and brother. Really nice folks. They said he is interested in being a Cyclone.
His speed is hard to assess in the game because usually he is running past people who look like they are standing still. His TDs tend to come right up the middle, not around the ends where he needs to beat people in foot races. The O-line for Ames is not big, but they are athletic and they built an offense for this sort of result. It also helps that the Ames QB is a multi-threat himself. He is big and strong as a runner, but keeps defenses honest with his arm and a stable of good receivers. The threat of the pass helps open up the middle for Clifford's great runs.
He looks like a man among boys when he gets the ball. He doesn't juke around much, but is very shifty with great acceleration. Most of the time, it looks like he is leaning one way, then quick steps the other way and just blows right by defenders. He would do this 2-3 times on a TD run.

He is a big fish in a 4A pond. If not at running back there is still room for this kind of speed at ISU. Let’s go Paul, make an offer.
