I wonder if this is what Jimmy Clausen looked like after getting punched in the face on Saturday night?

What did Jimmy Clausen get after the Notre Dame Fighting Irish lost to the UConn Huskies on Saturday night? According to this report from David Kaplan of WGN 720 in Chicago, Clausen got two black eyes in a bar fight.

Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen was involved in a fight outside a South Bend bar early Sunday morning, according to a report Monday evening by WGN-AM’s David Kaplan.

According to Kaplan, Clausen has two black eyes from the altercation at around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. The incident comes on the heels of the Irish’s overtime loss to Connecticut, their fifth of the season, leaving Notre Dame at 6-5.

I can’t say I blame whomever did this to him but was it really necessary. After what happened with UConn cornerback Jasper Howard, you would think football players would be a little smarter about the situations they put themselves in.

Apparently Clausen misread the situation like he did with his receivers a few times on Saturday.
