QB Pageant Down to Three Contestants

Finally some news from the home front! Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis has announced that the competition for the starting quarterback job has been narrowed down to three possible candidates: Jimmy Clausen, Demitrius Jones, and Evan Sharlpley.

This announcement leaves out the possibility of Zach Frazer, another QB hoping to get into the mix. Said Weis that other day, “Evan ran the operation the best, Jimmy threw the ball the best, and Demetrius made the most plays. For these reasons, they will compete for playing time.” We have a competition between men who represent different kinds of things you would look for in a college QB: accuracy (Clausen), speed (Jones), and decision making (Sharpley). If only we could combine these three to make one super quarterback…

No matter who gets the starting job, the race will surely be interesting, and you’ll want to check out StubHub.com for Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets to see whoever Weis chooses.
