I think Kiper's really underselling the quality of the Notre Dame offense. Yeah, that 2007 season offered nothing in terms of skilled players or line protectoin, and Clausens overall numbers are somewhat weighed down by that season, but he had two years of a strong pass protecting OL, and with the exception of some injuries to players in 2008, it's hard to argue that the skill position players weren't better than what Quinn had (which, admittedly, was also a very strong offensive unit, independent of the quarterback).

If nothing else though, you don't have a toughness issue in Clausen. In Bradford...who knows, really?
