Let The Speculation Begin


Notre Dame released the format and rosters for this weekend's annual Blue-Gold game this morning. What immediately struck me is that the teams seem to be separated by first-team offense and first-team defense. One the Blue team you have Travis Thomas, Armando Allen, and Luke Schmidt in the backfield, David Grimes and George West at receiver, and John Carlson at tight-end. Meanwhile, the Gold team has Zibby, Maurice Crum, Lambert and Wooden, Toryan Smith, and Trevor Laws.

The big story, as has been the case all spring, is that the Blue team's quarterbacks are Clausen and Jones while Sharpley and Frazer will lead the Gold.

Given the lean towards offense on the Blue team, I can't help but speculate that Weis has Clausen and Jones as his #1 and #1a at the point, in no particular order. According to the release the starting QBs will be determined by a coin toss prior to the start of the game...

UPDATE: The results of the coin toss are in and it appears that Clausen and Sharpley will be the starters...

Looks like ND is getting Dayne Crist, the #1 rated QB this year out of Cali, and probably the country. Can you say QB U.
