Under the Dome ATTENTION IRISH FANS ✦ Gimme Five The game of football has changed dramatically, and where it might be most manifested is in quarterback statistics because of today's much more emphasized and advanced passing attacks. Entering his senior year, Tommy Rees' 34 touchdowns passes are already more than those of legendary former Irish national title quarterbacks such as Terry Hanratty (27), Tom Clements (25), Joe Montana (27) and Tony Rice (13), never mind quarterbacks from the 1940s. Rees is also currently Notre Dame's all-time completion percentage leader, Here is the top five at Notre Dame based on those who have attempted at least 150 passes in their careers. Almost all are of recent vintage: Quarterback Att. Comp.Pct. 1. Tommy Rees (2010-) 624 403 .646 2. Jimmy Clausen (2007-09) 1,101 695 .626 3. Kevin McDougal (1990-93) 180 112 .622 4.
