And the starting quarterback for your 2015 Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be….you know that wasn’t going to happen today. And the two kept pace with each other in that battle in today’s Blue-Gold game, with neither creating any breathing room in the race. But the Gold team (defense) came away with the win on a sack on the final play of the game for the 36-34 victory.
Malik Zaire made the big plays, including a 68-yard touchdown to Will Fuller as he finished the day 8-of-14 for 137 yards and two touchdowns. But you can’t read too much into the numbers, as Everett Golson‘s side of the offense was geared around the zone-read–in which he did a fine job of running and protecting the ball.
