I happen to be watching a nice Monday afternoon game between Texas Tech and SMU and I can't help but notice that both teams go up and down the field, even with their complex offenses. I see that SMU has a very athletic QB that is very exciting to watch, and can't help to wonder to myself, "Why didn't Notre Dame play Jones like this guy (Williams is his name)?" And then it hit me, Demetrius Jones is not our QB.

The last 4 years we have watched one guy at QB for the Irish, Brady Quinn. He took over fulltime duties as the starter in 2003 week 4 I believe. We now have the same opportunity with another QB that could break all of Quinn's records, Jimmy Clausen.

Johanathan brought up a great point while we watched the game and stated that Clausen just knows how to win. He knows what winning feels like and he knows what it takes to get the job done. As a point of reference, Johanathan said that, "He never lost in high school, he's a cocky little SOB, and I like that and want that!" I agree.

We will wait until Tuesday when Weiss informs us all who the QB will be. I hope that as soon as he announces Clausen as the starter, he comments on how much more he's going to be getting the ball into Armando Allen's hands. Can we say spitting image of Reggie Bush???

And one more thing, you'd better believe that Penn State watched the film and will be all over their defensive scheme this week.

And if you are reading this Charlie Weiss, remember this: "Jimmy Clausen" to the tune of the "by Mennon!" commercials!
