Jimmy Clausen Has His Starting Job Back
On Tuesday of this week I told you that Charlie Weis was trying to figure out who was going to be his starting quarterback this weekend against Air Force. I also said that it would be Jimmy Clausen because the Irish have nothing left to play for, so they might as well see let Jimmy Clausen get some time in before next season.
Turns out I was right-I'm as shocked as you are, probably more so-because the Irish named Jimmy Clausen the starter again.
Freshman Jimmy Clausen will start at quarterback for the Irish against Air Force on Saturday, Notre Dame announced Wednesday.
Irish coach Charlie Weis did not make himself available for comment but a team spokesman said Weis would address the choice Thursday evening. Jimmy Clausen was not available for comment Wednesday.
Of course, like I also said on Tuesday, the change won't make any difference.
Notre Dame's problems this season aren't just relegated to the quarterback position. The entire team is a weak spot. The defense played well to start the season( though the final scores would lead you to believe otherwise), but all the time they've had to spend on the field this year is starting to catch up to them. They gave up 46 points to Navy for Touchdown Jesus' sake!
Teams like Michigan and USC ought to feel ashamed of themselves for only putting up 38 points against this team.
