This is from the LA Daily News UCLA linebacker Bruce Davis has never met Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, but he can't wait to greet him Saturday. "He's a good kid, a good quarterback," Davis said. "But I haven't met a freshman that I wasn't able to get inside their head yet. You should expect the first play of the game - whether it's run, pass, whatever it is - you'll see me in his face. I'm just going to give him a friendly hello and let him know that it's going to be a long day for him. That part of it will be taken care of early. Our defense is going to get there." Every team that has played the Irish (0-5) has gotten to its quarterbacks. Notre Dame's offensive line has allowed 29 sacks and paved the way for an embarrassing rushing output of 30.4 yards per game. Both statistics are the worst among the 119 schools in DivisionI. Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis has said Clausen is the probable starting quarterback if he's healthy. But it might not matter who's behind center, Davis said. "Jimmy Clausen is one of the better true freshman quarterbacks I've seen the whole time I've been here," Davis said. "Unfortunately, his O-line is just falling apart. They can't block a soul. That's going to hurt your team. That's going to hurt your offense. That's going to get you to 0-5."

"Cant block a soul" thanks for the bulletin board material Davis.
John Latina
EXACTLY, that is why I keep wondering how Latina has kept his name out of the headlines. He has done a miserable job coach this line, as well as last year's line, which was mostly upperclassmen.
I hope those comments are in the heads of everyone who may be on the Irish offensive line Saturday. Perhaps it would be appropriate for someone to "pancake" Bruce Davis a number of times.
Will somebody please post this comment on the lockers of every offensive lineman. Hopefully it will spark a fire under their butts!
Are Bruce Davis and Mark May the Oracles. Truer words have never been spoken. Jeeze...
Hmmmn…a rather blunt view of what he views as the most deficient part of the ND football team, that is to say, the O-line. Notwithstanding his rather scabrous announcement, the fact remains, that both on a quantitative and qualitative basis, he is absolutely correct. Improvement counts only when you have actually turned the situation around, and until then, is merely a subject for those of us involved in the punditocracy of this blog.

Well, if this isn't bulletin board fodder for the o-line, then I don't know what is! How much more ridicule and incentive do they need than this!
