Jimmy Clausen: Undefeated in a visor.
It’s obviously his helmet visor…or complete lack thereof since he began his career at Notre Dame. I’m not one to make outrageous claims, but it’s a proven fact that playing with a helmet visor makes you a completely better player. Let’s look at the facts: (1) While at Oaks Christian, Jimmy was 42-0 as a starter, and he wore a helmet visor the whole time (refer to the picture). He was part of Oaks Christian’s 46-game winning streak. (2) While at Notre Dame, Jimmy has not once worn a helmet visor, with a record of 5-7 as a starter. His longest college winning streak to date is 4 games. I don’t think it gets much clearer than that. Jimmy needs to start wearing a visor if ND is to get where it needs to be.
Jimmy without his visor is like Samson without his hair.
Let’s look at some other notable visor wearing athletes. First of all, pretty much anybody who playe at Miami while Bustch Davis was coaching and Larry Coker’s first few years. Remember how incredibly good those teams were? Remember how many of those freakish athletes wore helmet visors? Let me remind you:
Ed Reed was a force to be reckoned with, both then and now. Just look at this mo-fo:
At the running back position, Clinton Portis wore a visor, and he was badass too: 
Also playing for Miami was Willis McGahee. You might remember the story about how he was some third-string fullback, then made his way to the top of the depth chart and was the best running back in college one season. What they don’t tell you is that he only made that ascencion once he started wearing a helmet visor: 
Just so you know that this phenomenon is not only at the college game, just look at LT, who is the greatest fantasy football running back of the past 10 seasons.
Also, it’s not completely out of the question for quarterbacks to wear visors in college. Why, just this past weekend, Oregon was losing to Boise State 37-13, and went on to their 5th-string QB who just happened to be wearing a visor. The result? When he entered the game on the last play of the third quarter, Oregon went on a 19-0 run, as he threw for 210 yards and 3 TDs in his first ever appearance as a true freshman. The comeback attempt failed with 2 minutes left when Oregon couldn’t convert an onside kick (the kicker wasn’t wearing a visor).
So there you have it. The solution to all of ND’s offensive woes: More Visor.
Soon we will discuss the impact that headbands can have on players, once I research it more (tgiab.com is very pro-headband).
Headband with a visor: a "fashion yes"
Could headbands bring a Superbowl to ND? Probably

i think the thing that’s wrong with jimmy clausen is that he’s our starting qb. the amato family is calling for crist.
Crist is also a visor wearing QB. I think we need to petition Charlie to let his players wear them.
Imagine how much more ‘unstoppable’ Golden Tate would be if DB’s couldn’t see his eyes.
According to NCAA Rule 1, Section 4, Article 5, points r and s (Rule 1.4.5,r-s): Visible bandannas worn on the field of play or end zones and Eye shields that are not clear or made from molded or rigid material are illegal.
And in case Kuntz was thinking about it, Rule 1.4.5,a prohibits the use of artificial limbs to gain an advantage.
Great. Clear eye shields for everyone.
Sean Taylor also wore a visor while he played for a Miami and the redskins and he was a BAMF
