After reviewing the highlights of the game on Extremeskins I am convinced that we got more from Portis than we expected . I saw Portis knock Al Wilson on his ass on several play action passes. I also saw Portis run,catch and run some more. Aside from his efforts to get in the endzone, he has stepped up as a leader of this team. He was dejected after the loss because he knew the fumble was a key play that turned into points. I'm sticking with Clinton for the long haul.
