I passed this info on to Eric Sondheimer re Clarkson's Air7 quarterback camp. (Is it now DeBartolo?)
Steve Clarkson (#7) played for San Jose State for four seasons: 1979-80-81-82, all under the late Jack Elway. Jack's son John and one of his sisters wanted him to play under their dad, but John's mother thought he'd be better off a Stanford.
The Jack Elway-Steve Clarkson seasons at SJS went like this:
1979: 6-4-1 Lost to Stanford 29-45 (SJS QB Ed Luther)
1980: 7-4-0 Lost to Stanford 21-35
1981: 9-3-0 Beat Stanford 28-06 (SJS QB Steve Clarkson, Stanford QB John Elway)
1982: 8-3-0 Beat Stanford 35-31 (SJS QB Steve Clarkson, Stanford QB John Elway)
John Elway himself said he'd wished he'd gone to San Jose State to play for his dad. Would he have beaten out Steve Clarkson?
(Does anyone know who the starting QB was for Elway in 1980? Did Clarkson start as a soph that year?)
