Not a good way to start your college career. Evidently they kept this a secret for a year.

This is horrible news. I hope him a speedy recovery, and please be healthy enough to start September 8th.

[Severe Punishment]

Redshirting is never a bad thing for a freshman.

[moc182]

ND doesn't red shirt players.Doesn't sound too serious, I doubt he would have started at the beginning of the season anyway, this just makes it even less likely.

[Michigan]

PLEASE let Clausen be healthy by the time Notre Dame comes to the big house.

Ron Pawlus anybody?

Honestly if he's injured, I'd rather see what we have in Jones at QB and let Clausen redshirt for a year, 22 year old freshman.

For the record, ND kind of redshirts, but all the players are on a four year graduation path, so most of the better players just leave after their "junior RS" year, like Fasano last season. Carlson will be a redshirt senior this year.

too me clausen just seemed like a kid who threw short passes and had his recivers take them to the house persoanlly....but ive onyl see like 20 min of game tapes on him so i dunno. but they will survive i mean hes only 20 he has all the time in the world doesnt he haha!!!

[Space Ghost]

bahahahahahahahahhaha. I really don't care. I hate Notre Dame football. I also hate Jimmy Clausen because he looks like he has the haircut of a grade 4 kid or at least he used to. He looks like a punk ***** too.

wait, Clausens a JUCO?

[volman88]

wait, Clausens a JUCO?

Not sure if your are serious but no

[JPLUFF]

Was he even guaranteed the starting spot at this point anyways? I know Frazer and Jones were both highly recruited and can compete with him, even though Clausen is probably older than both of them.

[YAYareaRB]

Demetrius Jones! YAY!

[OhioState]

this is kind of funny. all of the nd fans on here are touting him as their savoir and now they will have to wait to see him play. it makes me laugh because i had Notre Dame football as well

[constant cough]

That Mallet kid is better anyway.
