SOUTH BEND, Ind. — As spring practice at Notre Dame comes to a close, the only thing the Irish can still be sure of is that they have two starting caliber quarterbacks.
Which one starts — senior Everett Golson or junior Malik Zaire — remains a mystery, but at this point, it is probably just a technicality. Both will play, and as Saturday's performance suggests, both have the potential to play very well when the Texas Longhorns come to town to open the season on September 5.
Golson, who led the Fighting Irish to the BCS National Championship Game in the 2012 season, got the start on Saturday after losing that spot to Zaire in the 2014 Music City Bowl.
