No surprise, but Kelly confirms QB battle won’t end this spring

Brian Kelly confirmed what many of us knew all along. No resolution to a spirited quarterback battle is coming soon.

On Wednesday, Kelly caught up with the media to talk about the progress made during the Irish’s first 10 spring practices. And with all eyes on the quarterback battle between Malik Zaire and DeShone Kizer, Kelly acknowledged that they weren’t close to deciding anything.

“I don’t think we’ll make a decision after spring,” Kelly said.

And with that, a battle that we thought might go all the way up until Texas week just essentially got extended until at least fall camp—with Kelly explaining in one sentence why the decision is a difficult one.
