Jimmy Clausen (Baltimore Ravens)

I bet ND nation is relieved because this might have slowed down winning 4 heismans and might have limited him to 3.

early reports from the spring show that he can't handle a good pass rush. He tends to look at the rush instead of the receivers. Kinda like Quinn used to do.

who did ND scrimmage that had a good pass rush?

Ha ha, seems like their OL is even worse. Talked with a ND guy who said they'll be happy that ND goes 3-5 to open the season.

LOL. I'm sure one of the more prominent high school teams wouldn't mind upgrading the defensive pressure for them every once in awhile.

Anyone else notice that Phil Steele's 2007 preview lists Clausen as only the 5th highest rated high school QB?

ESPN - Irish QB Clausen has medical procedure on elbow - College Football

A source close to Notre Dame freshman quarterback Jimmy Clausen said Wednesday that Clausen underwent a medical procedure on an elbow.
Notre Dame spokesman Brian Hardin said that Clausen would be ready when the team begins fall practice on Aug. 6.
Hardin said he could not add any further information.
In January, the Miami Herald reported Clausen had bone spurs in his right, throwing elbow. In March, Clausen's father, Jim Clausen Sr., told the Chicago Sun-Times that his son had played through a non-specificied arm injury during his senior year of high school and that various options would be considered if discomfort continued.
Clausen was held out of winter 7-on-7 drills but participated in Notre Dame's spring practice. In the Blue and Gold scrimmage, Clausen was 3 of 7 for 23 yards, splitting repetitions with three other quarterbacks.

Any bets that Clausen transfers before his sophomore year?

A 30-pack of Natural Light? - He should be benched for bad taste.

Please, Natty Light is the official college drinker's beer :) it's like $25 for a keg sometimes.

That is the only way the ND fans will ever admit he is not the second coming.

Weis claims the California Golden Boy didn't know the law.

Weis calls Clausen being cited a case of ignorance of the law
By TOM COYNE, AP Sports Writer

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said Monday that quarterback Jimmy Clausen's citation for transporting alcohol as a minor is a simple case of ignorance of the law.
"I think it's out of ignorance -- and by ignorance I mean lack of knowledge," Weis said. "I don't think he was defiantly trying to get himself into trouble with the law."

Charlie, wake up man, do you want your rep to be this? "Weis, recruiting dumb people everywhere."
