Both teams suck.

To put up that many points against a good defense is great but they still have some work. </div></div>

I watched the whole game and Clausen had a pretty dang decent game. Mich defense isnt nowheres near past years, but both teams arent that good. But the Irish have and are improving greatly, should be fun to watch them this season unlike the last one.

That hit on Weis looked nasty

Tore his ACL and MCL..and still was on the side lines after. Must have hurt like a [censored] though.

I was too.. They're on the right track, but I still think Clausen is horrible.

Haven't even watched them enough to get a good picture of how he performs. I know one thing's for sure: To be the #1 ranked QB in the country at one time, he was MASSIVELY overhyped when I did watch him.

How did he perform vs. Michigan, and what made him seem terrible from what you saw in that game? I really wish I could actually watch some of these games, but I don't get home until 7:30-8 PM usually so I miss most of 'em.

Someone already uploaded a video of it on YouTube . . the way his left leg looks following the fall is definitely not very pretty.

Here it is (please ignore the idiotic text, music, etc. in the video; unfortunately, this is the only one I could find):

Trust me, it does.

Sounds like Phil Robbins at Richlands in 1988...got both ligaments in his knee torn and the knobs broken off his thigh bone at the knee as well in the 2nd Quarter after he was undercut trying to slow up a Richlands defender going out of bounds. Ol Phil stayed on the sideline with an air cast/splint on his knee...hobbled to the field house at halftime, and hobbled back to the field for the 2nd half. They took him straight to Hulvey and Gardner in Abingdon after the game..and Barry Jones rode back with the players. The rest of the season Phil spent practice and games in a wheelchair. Like him or not, he's a tough SOB.
