Northwestern named their starting quarterback yesterday, and we’ve been pretty confident all along that Clayton Thorson would win the job. Now it’s official. We came to this conclusion in the same manner that one solves a geometric proof. Because of A you have B, and then B precludes C, and then C leads to D etc.

Anyway, here’s the Clayton Thorson podcast:

So I guess you can call me “Bankstradamus” with this prediction here. We’ll see how Thorson does versus Stanford, but Fitz no doubt made the right call. Also check out the profiles we did on the second and third string NU QBs. (Links are below)
