D Jones to D Kalb

Demetrius Jones, the starting quarterback for the Georgia Tech game who was pulled before halftime after two fumbles, did not make the bus for Ann Arbor and is reportedly enrolling at the Northern Illinois University. As I speculated recently, DJ's prospects at quarterback are looking dim with Clausen's performance and the offensive woes. I'm sad to see him go, because he what I have read about Jones paints a picture of a very talented and likable guy. I also think he could have had a good career at ND, although probably not at QB. The move seems sudden, but I am guessing this had been considered during the spring competition and he is trying to get into the fall semester in order to achieve his transfer year requirement in the 2007 season. I will wish the best to DJ unless something more sinister motives are forthcoming; I hope this decision leads to a great career, because he is sacrificing a Notre Dame diploma and a valuable collegiate experience that will be unmatched at NIU (no offense).

And with that, please meet your new third string quarterback, senior Darrin Bragg.

Only two missed blocks from starting!
