Heard on ESPN Radio that Weis has announced the freshman guy will start against Penn State. Jimmy Clausen - is that his name? Anyway, it was Colin Cowherd saying that he'll start - so he may be making it up.

Well seeing as he burned his RS for a few snaps in a hopeless blowout, thats about all CW can do at this point. That kid is going to get abused. This will illustrate very clearly why CW isn't a college coach imo. Claussen is not only going to take a beating from opponents, he's going to be treated by his own coach like Parcells would treat a veteran NFL player. Not to mention ND nation if it goes as badly as it looks like it could. Good luck kid, your going to need it.

Good move on Charlie's part.
This season is a wash, might as well let the kid take his lumps now. |

And he will take many lumps....

But you're right about him getting abused. Unless he's a big guy or can otherwise take a good beating, I don't see what the point is in starting him at this point. But who knows? If Notre Dame comes away with a win, I'll have to admit that Weis is smarter than I give him credit for.

I'm taking this as Weis's chance to help deflect some of the blame for not making a bowl game this year and giving his future star quarterback a ton of reps through a trial by fire. By Weis's thinking, Brady did it and he turned out just fine, right?
Genius. |

Well, Clausen did seem to be the most consistent of the three QBs, might as well get the kid out and let him learn the ropes. If Charlie goes 5 and 7 this year losing on an average of 30 points though this kid's life will be hell.

Excellent write-up in the San Jose Mercury News - Jon Wilmer Wasn't he one of the questionable poll voters last year?
Projects a 7 or 8 game losing streak to begin the season. Quote:

So much for not throwing your quarterbacks to the wolves (his justification for not naming a starter last week). Apparently Charlie thinks that members of the media can cause more damage to Clausen than opposing defenses. Genius!

Charlie had better hope Claussen is tougher than belt leather...make that Weis' belt leather...beacuse he'll never live it down if he sticks that freshman in there against an A-level defense and he gets hurt playing behind what is obviously a D-level offensive line.
