until Sean is in a game winning / losing situation, we won't be able to make comparisons. Clifford may be a more prototypical NFL type QB (taller, more accurate passer with a stronger arm), but Trace has / had intangibles that are best demonstrated when the game is on the line. Like when he threw the walk-off game winning TD to Juwan Johnson a few years back in Iowa! Or when he brought us back from a 21 point deficit against Wisconsin to win the B1G title game. Or the bowl game against UK where he almost single handedly brought us back from a big deficit to just come up short at the end, with a bum leg! Therefore, we need to see if Clifford has that "It" factor like Trace showed us, before we can compare their talent levels. I think and hope he does, as he will certainly be put to the test at some points over the rest of this season, possibly starting tomorrow night. I do think he will come out on fire and give us a big lead that Iowa won't be able to catch up though! I'd rather have that and relax a little more than the other way around !
