Not so much because it's Clausen, but because of what is says about how we're going to play the game.<BR/><BR/>Chan Gay came out and said they had a separate D package ready to go for DD and as soon as they knew he was starting it was a go; their entire D just pinned their ears back and teed off.<BR/><BR/>The State Penn won't have that luxury. They also don't have a defense as dynamic as GT. Powerful, talented, and great? Yes. As dynamic as GT? No.<BR/><BR/>Add to that the fact that our entire offense won't have to be preparing for THREE different offensive "packages" this week, and I give them a lot better chance at success. The talent is there; I just think CW stretched it a bit overcoaching that first game.<BR/><BR/>I think we have a <I>chance</I> at surprising a helluva lot of people and providing the upset of the week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15561288.post-26608800386044197202007-09-04T16:33:00.000-04:002007-09-04T16:33:00.000-04:00He couldn't start Clausen, because he couldn't rep...He couldn't start Clausen, because he couldn't rep him with the 1st team to install the game plan.<BR/><BR/>I still think he should have started Sharpley with a game plan designed for Clausen, and kept Sharpley on a short leash, subbing in Clausen if we started to tank.Wackohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573984468865704789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15561288.post-61828334117341267022007-09-04T16:19:00.000-04:002007-09-04T16:19:00.000-04:00I recall hearing Charlie (I think it was his post-...I recall hearing Charlie (I think it was his post-game) say Clausen not being ready physically until the week of the game, and that since coach wanted to be fair to the two QB's who were taking the most reps, that Clausen was 3rd string.<BR/><BR/>This seems inconsistent with what he says today. Or at least his logic is inconsistent.<BR/><BR/>If Clausen is the most gifted physically and mentally, and was ready last week, he should have started last game. Perhaps I'm misreading or understanding what he is saying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
