For the last five months, Brian Kelly and the Notre Dame coaching staff have been trying to determine whether DeShone Kizer or Malik Zaire should be the starting quarterback.
On Wednesday, Kelly revealed the answer. Kind of.
According to Chris Goff of the Journal Gazette, the seventh-year head coach said both Kizer and Zaire will play against Texas in the season opener on Sunday, Sep. 4.
Kelly previously said he anticipated making a judgment call, per Evan Sharpley of 247Sports. However, the competition was too even. Kelly said in 257 combined reps, Kizer and Zaire tossed a total of two interceptions, per ESPN's Matt Fortuna.
