Jimmy Clausen starts 2009 & 2010 Heisman campaign
Jimmy Clausen had what people like to say his "coming out party" last night instead I think he just announced he would be campaigning for the 2009 and 2010 Heisman trophies by lighting up the Hawaii defense. With the teams Notre Dame will play next year Jimmy has the skills and players around him to make a run at the Heisman trophy.
I think he will have a year like Brady Quinn's had in his junior year. Brady had one of the best seasons ever for a Notre Dame QB by setting 15 records which inlcude touchdown passes (32), passer rating (158.4), and passing yards (3919). Brady did come up just short in the Heisman race behind college greats Reggie Bush, Vince Young, and Matt Leinart. Brady Quinn had arguably a better year then all of those guys.
Clausen has had better stats his Freshman and sophomore than Quinn did. Clausen has had better passing percentages both years.
By watching Jimmy Clausen against Hawaii we have all seen he has the skills to be as good has anyone if not better than anyone in college football. Yeah yeah..I know Notre Dame was playing Hawaii but all of his throws were right on target, right on stride.
The Hawaii head coach Greg McMakin had some things to say about clausen. “Clausen was accurate as I’ve ever seen” and he also said “He could have beaten a lot of people today. He’s going to be a Heisman Trophy guy.”
