Lucky Number Seven has a special place in Luck of the Irish lore.
Jimmy Clausen wears it well, as have many before him.
Three Notre Dame All-Americans have donned the number seven jersey. So did one of the school's seven Heisman Trophy winners.
I've researched the seven best Irishmen to put on the navy No. 7, and endeavored to place Clausen in the proper position among those legends. Obviously, the task is incomplete, as is Clausen's college career. However, I believe his performance to date warrants inclusion on this list.
And the fact that he wears the seven across his chest is reason enough to turn an eye to the Irish history books.
We'll count them down from seven-to-one, even though all the greats will be accompanied by the No. 7.
