It doesn't bother me at all getting no recognition.
We could have the Patriots roster and be picked 12th, all the prognosticators see is the WF on the helmet. Who cares any more anyway?
Yep. No respect. But that black and gold helmet is the best looking one in the conference, so there's that. :thumbsup:
On the challenge being tougher being in the Atlantic Division of the conference
Clawson: “Why would you say that? (laughs) We haven’t done it yet (beat Clemson). I think it’s good that they’re in our conference and our division. The rising tide lifts all ships. Right now they’re the gold standard in all of college football. They’re the measuring stick. If we’re shooting for that, it makes our program better. If we didn’t have a Clemson in our division, maybe we don’t get some of the things we just got to make our program better.”

I'm watching last season's State game. It was an impressive showing...probably the most encouraging game of last season. The play of the offensive and defensive lines was really strong against a more talented, or at least a much higher rated team, and gives a lot of encouragement for this season. One of my chief concerns is the loss of Glenn. He was such a good and aggressive tackler. I had become so accustomed to defensive backs failing to make one-on-one tackles; but not with Glenn. But the strongest encouragement, to me, was Newman. We were obviously being very conservative in the way we used him, but he was both tough and clutch.
Early last season I would not have believed that we would have ended the season optimistically. Now if we can just avoid the injury bug.
Unless Newman is just really struggling in preseason camp the starting job should be his come the Utah State game. I like Sam, I think he's going to be good for us, but Newman showed me enough last year that unless he's for some reason taken a big step back, he should be the guy.
Too bad you aren't the coach. Clawson will put the guy out there that puts the team in best position to win. By every indication it is an open battle. I have no dog in the Newman vs Hartman fight.
It appeared as though Newman had the 'pulse' of the team at the end. However, provided Hartman's arm strength is back, I'm okay with either one; his arm looked dead against Syracuse. I also hope Clawson will factor in the QB's behind Hartman. Hartman is the clear back-up, but if we can keep him to four or less games played, I like the thought of having him for another three years beyond the upcoming one.
There's no doubt that this scenario has been considered IF this is how the season plays out. But as Clawson always says, they haven't made it through a season without having to use 2 QBs.
Clawson will play the QB who will best give them a chance to win. If its Newman and he succeeds, stays healthy, and the season progresses, there will be no reason to jeopardize Hartmans RS if its a matter of putting Bowers in to take a few snaps to finish the game because we are crushing Louisville and Duke.
