Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, talking with reporters for the first time since arriving on campus last January, confirmed Friday he underwent arthroscopic surgery this past spring to remove a bone spur from his throwing arm. He wouldn't comment any further on his injury but said he is competing to be the starting quarterback.

I hope he does get the starting position. He looked pretty good at the Army Game and I want to see that action in the UM game.

I hope Jones gets it because he gives ND the best chance to win.

i think clausen should wait a year before he starts.dimetrious will help the team out better as a whole.he's alot more mobile than brady was and will still be able to make throws when he has to.

I still think Jones will start and he fits the offense that Weis is running this season.

I think the most improved unit on the team this year will be the Defense. Hopefully the offense can put some points up.

Hey Tennesseeguy, you saw two Clausen's at U.T. it could be three for three cause if this kid doesn't pan out . . .

I honestly believe that Weis needs to redshirt this kid and start Jones, or Sharpley (but I prefer Jones) this season.
