Everett Golson: Notre Dame Starting Quarterback
By Jason Lisk
Golson has generated a fair amount of praise, with some saying he reminded them of a young Charlie Ward before last season when he arrived as a true freshman. Tony Rice, the national championship quarterback in 1988 and fellow South Carolinian, says that Golson will be better than him. He likely secured the job not only based on his playmaking ability as a runner in a read option spread offense, giving Kelly an element similar to how he had success at Cincinnati, but also his ball security. As we know from 2011, turnovers – often of the mind-numbing variety – were a big issue.
According to one report, Kelly stated that Golson only threw one interception in 130 attempts in camp, and was the only quarterback who did not have an interception in the spring game.
