That Notre Dame’s quarterback play in 2015 created another “good problem” is a credit to the depth Brian Kelly and his coaching staff have recruited. Because heading into the season, that depth looked, once again, under attack.
That’s what happens when your fifth-year quarterback skips town after spring practice, with Everett Golson deciding to play out his eligibility in Tallahassee. That left Notre Dame with Malik Zaire at the helm and the still-anonymous DeShone Kizer as a backup.
Things don’t seem all that bleak now—not with Kizer’s huge debut season and Zaire healthy and ready for spring.
