ND's lousy year really hurt Clausen...

[armchair]

with respect to the Heisman competition. The guy had a HUGE year--signficantly better than McCoy--and doesn't even make the final five.

Clausen's stats for the year: 3,722 yards passing, 28 TDs, 4 Ints, QB rating of 161+

McCoy's stats: 3,500 yards passing, 27 TDs, 12 Ints (!), QB rating of 147.

Clausen was a signficantly better QB. I think Golden Tate got screwed too--he, too, had a monster year. And I'm not a ND fan. ND's bad year hurt these two, which is too bad for them...

Tate would have had consideration too.

Well ESPN just sent out a text from Chris Mortensen that Brian Kelly will leave Cincinnati for Notre Dame but neither School has confirmed it yet....

won't hurt them that bad in the draft

Clausen is the first QB on Kiper's board. I think he'll be fine. It's a shame that he's not getting any heisman love though.

Why would we care about Clausen!?!?!? I heard he deserved the punch he got!

Heisman has never been about being the best player in college football more about who is the best player on a top 5 team which is sad really.

Strength of schedule was equally problematic.

if stats were the end all, be all, Case Keenum would be a lock. He threw for 1700 more yards, 15 more TD's and 5 more INT's than Clausen.

Heh. ND was a team that if not for an awful overturned call would have lost to Washington at home.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Tejas's strength of schedule sucked too.

If it were any other player, I'd be crying foul, but since it's Jimmy, I laugh and move on.
