BRB, running through brick walls.

 

[Rewster]

How long before someone here tells us all that was only 100lbs and they could lift 5x that amount.

 

[Palatine]

I'm pretty sure that 315 pounds times 4. Dude is strong. Who is it?

Its Mensah...

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I’d like to see the guys blocking for him putting up that much

 

[Chin Diesel]

First assshoolllleee in to say I'd rather see an RB squatting 600 lbs than benching 315.

Pencil us in for the Super Bowl.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Easy. Back in the day, I did that weight and more, yet no one confused me for a quality running back. I would have been a terrible running back, not even a discussion. Point is, he needs to have more of the T. Cauley, Donald Brown, J Todman in him. The 315 is just a small ingredient that makes up running back.

He rushed for 1000 yards last year on an awful team who was always playing from being down by multiple touchdowns. He’s solid

He had a terrific year last season. Hopefully he can build on it

With Mensah, Thompkins, O'Reilly, Scott and Black. The best depth UConn has had in a number of years.

Go Huskies

Combine that depth with an experienced offensive line and they could be pretty damn good. That defense will need them to chew up as much clock as they possibly can.

 

[huskysupporter]

No doubt the run game will be a strength. Should have an above average run blocking line and Mensah and Thompkins should be a great tandem. I just hope it isn’t wasted, just need a qb who can manage a game and hit open receivers. The offense will often see 8 men boxes so there will be opportunities for the passing game.

Or the offense can outscore opponents.

Let's not put the cart before the horse. We don't even know who our QB will be. A strong running game will be a good start.

 

[uconndogs]

To my eye Mensah is as good a back as we've had since Todman. Not nearly as fast as Todman, but he's solid and if he can catch the ball out of the backfield that will be a big help with a young QB.

Of course, if our defense can't stop anyone what difference does it make? But that's a different matter.........I guess.........

I think that’s Eli Thomas in the frame there?? Looks like he’s back in the weight room. Awesome. Not sure who was squatting there

DL Caleb Thomas

Not to put tooo fine a point on it. But he owes the offensive line most of the credit. He didn't break many tackles or make many miss. He needs to create yards after contact. Hopefully, if he's stronger he doesn't go down as easy.

He is more like McCombs than Todman.

Mensah isn’t a back who is going to create yards after contact. He is an excellent one cut and go runner. We don’t need him to be anything else.

I don’t think he is like Todman or McCombs (he is way better than McCombs)

You forgot to mention that since his butt comes off the bench, none of the reps count
