Sharpley attempted only two passes in 2006

which is exactly the same number of attempts that Samardzija had. One was while we were getting blown out by Michigan and the other was against UNC. The rest of the time he was on the bench or handing off the football to run out the clock.

If the plan in 2007 was to start Sharpley and bring Clausen along slowly, it wasn't something that was considered prior to the end of the 2006 season. Otherwise, I have to believe that Sharply would have been sent in to run the offense more often during some of the blowout wins of 2006.
