He has done a lot with little. Definitely no Floyd or Tate. On the other hand did he get sacked 50 something times? Playing in the MAC doesn't get you a lot of attention because they play a low level of competition. Clausen for all his sins, has played against tougher competition and has most or all of the QBs ranked higher (larger number) in that list. I looked at the schedules and the NCAA rankings of defenses. Dillingham would have looked good against Tennessee Tech. They were the 105th pass defense. No, not out of the 120 Div 1 teams. TenTech was 105th out of 118 Div AA teams. Which makes they like the 220 ranked pass defense. USC was #1, BC was #7 and didn't Jimmy results in those games agree with those rankings.
Hiller faced one team Ball St ranked better than the Top 50. Clausen faced 6 who were all ranked better than Ball St.
I'll root for your alma mater against the Wolverweasels although I'd prefer them to fat and overconfident after they avenge their MAC loss to Toledo. I don't want Robinson re-tooling the D to fix the exposed holes. I'd rather Tate and Floyd found those holes all day long.
