Clausen was rather unimpressive until this year, in fact he was benched several times his first 2 seasons at ND. I will admit that he did have a great improvement this season. That doesn't make me want him, ESPECIALLY at #4.
Ok, you probably want me to quote some stats:an impressive 28-4 td-int ratio senior year, you don't want me to quote the rest. Bradford 36-8 FRESHMAN, 50-8 sophmore.
I'm sorry I just get a feeling about these two, one good, and one, ehh just don't really feel it for him...

I think the 2007 Navy loss by Notre Dame was an Evan Sharpley start. I think Clausen was injured for that one.

Not that it would have changed much.
