Flames, Meet Fuel: The Notre Dame QB Situation

Well, you had to figure that someone in this whole soap opera that wasn’t (really, it’s all be pretty subdued up ’til now) would talk. And if anyone is going to get someone to talk, it’s Dennis Dodd, right? I mean, when I think of serpents and forbidden fruit, Dennis Dodd always comes to mind.

I just didn’t expect it to be Zach Frazer’s father. (HT: Fanhouse)

“From what we know Sharpley is going to be the guy,” David Frazer told me from his office in Harrisburg, Pa. “Jones will be put in for a few trick plays. Clausen won’t play this year.”

Huh.

“The way Charlie described it, he doesn’t think he has the passing game this year,” David Frazer said. “He wants somebody to throw it five yards (downfield). They’re going to run it more.

“I think the problem is they thought they were going to get (five-star receiving recruit) Arrelious Benn. With (Jeff) Samardzija and Rhema McKnight gone, they really don’t have go-to receiver types.”

Mmm hmm. Mmm hmmm. I see. I see. Okay.

Of course, if we’re all going to believe that Charlie is nothing if not a robot genius, then it’s seems pretty clear that Charlie planted this little seed as a ploy to throw off Georgia Tech’s defensive coaching. Right? Because Mr. Frazer wouldn’t just go off and start talking to the press as though he’s got some sour grapes. That hasn’t been his M.O. thru this entire journey. Why would it change now?

My money is on Mr. Frazer having excellent taste in people, and thus giving total B.S. quotes to egg-heads like Dennis Dodd just to get him to stop asking the same damned question like the trained chimp that he is.
