'07 CA QB Jimmy Clausen (Signed LOI to Notre Dame)

GoldenDomer · Dec 22, 2014

In '09 we lost 6 games by an avg. of 4.6 points... Ouch

phgreek · Dec 22, 2014

Good luck Jimmy...go light 'em up.

Jerry · Dec 22, 2014

Clausen out this week with concussion. Sucks for Jimmy.

Henges24 · Dec 22, 2014

Damn. Tough break for him. He played very well yesterday too. Hope he gets his shot next year.

...was it that hit from Ansah? Good Grief! Hang in there Jimmy.

nlroma1o · Dec 22, 2014

A few things on that play:

1. Man did Jimmy take a shot. I was watching it live, and to me, it was pretty clear he got nailed in the head. Then when you watched the replay, it only further confirmed that it was a nasty, dirty hit.

2. Why are the refs so inept? Isn't there an official up in the booth who would look at the replay and tell the field refs they need to review to see if there was targeting? The NFL is fukin clueless. That play looked like a text book scenario as to when a player should be ejected for an illegal blow to the head. How the hell did they miss that one?

3. I was shocked the Bears staff didn't pull Clausen from the field after that hit. He may have popped right up to yell at Ziggy, but there's no way he wasn't a little rattled from that.

4. I almost forgot. If that was Tom Brady, Ansah would not only have been ejected, but he would be suspended.

A new Brady rule. Any helmet-to-helmet hit on a QB while scrambling results in automatic retirement for the defender.

The coaches probably assumed JC was fine since he popped right up. He certainly didn't seem woozy at the time. I saw Schefter tweeted that JC didn't have symptoms until after the game, and didn't think he was concussed until Sunday night, so who knows if testing on the sideline would've done much good.

I am no expert with concussions but I do remember experts saying that it is repeated blows to the head. I hear many times that when teammates hit their own teammates helmets for congrats can give produce a concussion after a huge blow to the head. Even just playing and taking a hit not in the head can cause further brain injury after the initial blow.

True, but those losses were to:

Michigan (5-7)
USC (9-4)
Navy (10-4 but it's Navy)
Pitt (10-3 and that game was rather lopsided until Tate got them back into it)
UConn (8-5)
Stanford (8-5)

Of those, only really USC and Pitt were true quality losses. Navy had a good year, but they were still Navy. UConn was an average Big East team, though playing with heavy hearts, Stanford was meh, and Gerhart tore ND's defense to shreds. Not to mention, Tate f*cking Forcier.

Jerry · Dec 23, 2014

The independent trainer looked at Clausen after the hit and after the game and said that he didn't show any concussion signs. It wasn't till Sunday night that he said he started feeling symptoms. I was surprised he got up from that too.

Navy was pretty good that year. 2pt conversion away from tying Ohio State with a couple minutes left and waxed Mizzou in their bowl game. Won 10 games.

Dirty, dirty play. Typical Lions stuff.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't read that bit.

Looks like Jimmy just got hitched. Her name is Jess Gysin.....

ND NYC · Feb 16, 2015

Floyd, tate, jonhathan stewart, Rudolph were at the wedding...not a bad fantasy football lineup if your dealing with bye weeks.

How many of our five this year were true quality losses?

USC and that's it.

lol seriously - how quickly we forget. ASU wasn't bad this year either...

Oops forgot about that game.. on a 12 hour shift. Sorry.

IrishJayhawk · Feb 17, 2015

I would say that all but Northwestern were "okay" losses. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't or couldn't have won all of them. But FSU, ASU, Louisville, and USC are all good teams.

We knew the schedule would be rough coming into the year. Maybe it wasn't quite as tough as it initially seemed, but it was still a gauntlet compared to most FBS teams.

ulukinatme · Feb 17, 2015

The sad part is we were in every game this year except for USC. We easily could have gone 11-1 in the regular season, but it went 7-5 instead.

Thank goodness we schedule the way we do and beat ourselves before the season even starts, I mean, with S.O.S now mattering so much if we scheduled like tOSU does we'd go 11-1 all the time and never make the playoffs,......

Oh wait...

Rumored to be getting the start against Seattle

(oh, and with total 20/20 hindsight: would we have rather have had Jimmy for one more year in 2010, or Dayne Crist for 3??)

Ouch, he may not survive the first half vs Seahawks.

If I recall, I believe his last start was against the Seahawks as well.
