Tom142 Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 (edited) plus they have got to keep the Clausen family happy so Jimmy will come to the hill in '07... but I agree with gotmilk Ainge will start, Shaffer will transfer, Clausen will be backup and have Crompton as redshirt... 825505971[/snapback] Actually the Knoxville News Sentinel quoted him after the Cotton Bowl and Schaeffer said he wasn't going anywhere, but things may change.

coach15 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 unless Schaffer is going to play another position he might as well leave unless he wants to the 2nd maybe 3rd string quarterback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgovols Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Shaeffer will wait until after signing day to make a decision is my guess. I say if Crompton commits, Shaeffer leaves. Ainge should be and will be the starter, but Clausen II will get a look. They'll look at 40-50 yard bombs vs 60-70 yard spirals and Ainge will get the nod! Rick will be a decent backup which is all that Sanders ever was or Dickey for that matter. The guy with the brain that won't get you beat is the backup.........the guy with the rocket launcher for an arm gets the QB job. That's just how it is..........

bhsOL Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 You didnt watch the Notre Dame game did you? 825511108[/snapback] You didn't watch Fulmer's press conference after the game did you? Fulmer said that Clausen did not even take one snap in practice the whole week of the ND game. That's probably why he was rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why he was rusty. 825511609[/snapback] So just because he hadnt taken a snap all week, thats what caused him to make a bone-headed play and try to throw the ball when someone had him half way on the ground? Besides he looked like he had some decnt throws in the game, so dont makes excuses for a dumb play! Dont get me wrong, I think Rick did a great job for UT this season, but he has to cut those bone-headed plays out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redthunder6 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Yea, but there was NO excuse for him trying to throw that ball! 825512806[/snapback] He was trying too much. I understand what he did. HE is a third string qb trying to show coaches what he can do. it was his first signifcant action all year.

Purple & Gold Standard Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Another bone-headed play was Ainge trying to make a play there at the end of the first half against Notre Dame....After the bad snap,he should have fell on the ball and he wouldn't have gotten hurt.....But then again the whole sideline experienced brain-freeze...He should have knelt down anyway...
