Notre Dame Football Quinn struggles in finale
The Courier News, IL - Jan 4, 2007
NEW ORLEANS -- Brady Quinn fell short again in the big game.

The surefire first-round draft pick couldn't find a way to get Notre Dame the big win he's been so desperate to deliver, failing for the third time this season against top-10 competition to complete more than 50 percent of his passes as Notre Dame lost 41-14 to LSU in the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday night.

...

Quinn was just 15-of-35 passing for a season-low 148 yards. His other games of completing 50 percent or fewer of his passes came against Michigan, when he was 24-of-48, and against USC, when he was 22-of-45.

He threw only seven interceptions all season, but three came against the Wolverines and two against the Tigers -- and nearly had another pass intercepted, but that was overturned when it was reviewed by officials.

Quinn leaves with a reputation of folding in the big game. Will it hurt his draft status?

I thought the game would hurt his status (certainly as #1 overall) but I did notice things in the game...like one of his pick bounced off the receiver and into the LSU players hands.

I think in the big games they have just run into better teams...I still like the kid...but that Russell kid at LSU has a big gun doesn't he?...he threw that 58 yarder on the run...got to like him too.
