Remember Jimmy Clausen? Golden boy, superstar, future No. 1 pick Jimmy Clausen? The guy who got sucker-punched after losing to UConn? You know, that Jimmy Clausen.
Of course you do. Clausen’s time with the Irish coincided with the end of Charlies Weis’s reign of terror in South Bend, and while he left Notre Dame as one of the most prolific quarterbacks in recent memory, he’s mostly remembered (or forgotten, depending on how you look at it), for his 16-18 record as a starter and his reputation for being immature and hot-headed.
