December 25, 200817 yr Final from Hawaii. Big win for the Irish and big game for Clausen going into the offseason.
December 25, 200817 yr When I saw how easily Notre Dame was going down the field in their first couple drives, you knew the game was over. Not that I'm shocked by the result, Hawaii just isn't very good. Notre Dame wanted to make a statement and they did. Not sure how much that statement means, but they made one. :lol:
December 25, 200817 yr Personally, I'm disappointed to see Notre Dame snap their impressive streak of consecutive losses in bowl games. :irked:
December 25, 200817 yr I think I heard on ESPN this morning that over 80 schools had won bowl games since the Irish last won one in 1993.
December 25, 200817 yr Author I think I heard on ESPN this morning that over 80 schools had won bowl games since the Irish last won one in 1993. 88 or 89 I think. They also said that CW was saying red shirt freshman Dayne Crist would compete for the QB job in the spring. Highly doubt that now...
December 25, 200817 yr 88 or 89 I think. They also said that CW was saying red shirt freshman Dayne Crist would compete for the QB job in the spring. Highly doubt that now... One game means nothing. Claussen has been so inconsistent all year. The qb position will be an open competition next year. From what I've heard, Claussen would rather party than work on his game. By Weiss saying there's a chance for someone else to take over the starting spot, hopefully it will cause Claussen to wake up.

Yeah I would hope he does too. He has all the tools, just needs to work. Dayne Crist I have heard is like Brady Quinn in size, speed, arm strength, and smarts. He could give Jimmy a run for his money, especially if he is more consistent. I was just saying that with this game will make it hard for CW to talk about QB compititions.
December 25, 200817 yr As an Irish fan I thank you have to be pretty happy if you saw the game. We all want to be in the National hunt but ND has been so bad + terrible in the bowl games that a win was good. A win in the fashion they got it was outstanding! That is as good as I've seen them play in a long time. Lots of young faces and hopefully the confidence Clausen needed heading into the off season. I'm not lowering my expectations but I am realistic. This was a very good win for ND by playing the way they did with the young guys. Be interesting to see what Weis does next year. He was in the booth from surgery for this whole game and it's the best the offense has clicked.
December 25, 200817 yr Hawaii really stunk this year and this game show how much they have dropped since last season.
