After Saturday's win against BYU, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly suggested that sophomore Everett Golson would regain his starting job for this weekend's game against Oklahoma.

"We feel like we’ve got a kid now that’s 100 percent ready to go for Oklahoma," the Irish head coach said. Golson was relegated to third quarterback duties against BYU following a concussion suffered against Stanford. Tommy Rees did nothing to steal the job away in his start against the Cougars.

Notre Dame starting sophomore QB Everett Golson was cleared to practice on Wednesday, setting him up to start Saturday against BYU.

Golson completed proper concussion testing and has been cleared by doctors to resume on-field activities. The sophomore suffered the injury in the closing minutes of last weekend's win over Stanford and was replaced, one again, by junior Tommy Rees. Expect Golson to be the starting quarterback on Saturday.

Everett Golson - QB - Fighting Irish

Notre Dame starting sophomore QB Everett Golson suffered a "mild concussion" against Stanford but is expected to be cleared in time for Saturday's game against BYU.

Junior Tommy Rees had to once again fill-in for Golson on the team's final possessions. "So our general protocol is we expect him tomorrow to be able to pass his cog test. If he does that, then we begin light exercise. If there’s no reoccurrence of any headaches then we clear him," head coach Brian Kelly said. We still aren't sure what a "mild" concussion is.

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly announced that sophomore Everett Golson is and will remain the team's starting QB.

"He is getting better. There's so much development that's takng place that's not on Saturdays. He's learning how to practice and communicate," Kelly said. Junior Tommy Rees led the Irish on a game-winning drive to beat Purdue after coming off the bench, and he entered the game against Michigan after Golson had a slow start.

Despite projected offseason starter junior Tommy Rees returning from his one game suspension, sophomore Everett Goilson will remain Notre Dame's starting QB.

"Tommy Rees will be competing to be the No. 2 quarterback job this week, not in play at all as the starter when the Irish host Purdue Saturday in the home opener," Eric Hansen of the South Bend Tribune wrote. Golson was a much better passer than expected, and obviously offers an added dimension as a running threat. Hansen added that if Golson continues to ascend, freshman Gunner Kiel will likely redshirt.

Everett Golson - QB - Fighting Irish

Everett Golson completed 12-of-18 passes for 144 yards, one touchdown, and an interception in Notre Dame's opener against Navy.

Playing primarily from the pocket in a conservative, run-first game plan, Golson was credited with just one rushing attempt (loss of eight). Golson looked comfortable for a redshirt freshman who's never played a snap, displaying good zip on throws on the move while Theo Riddick and George Atkinson III dominated in the ground game. Golson was pulled for Andrew Hendrix in the second half with Notre Dame pounding Navy. Golson's starting job looks very secure heading to Week 2 against Purdue.

Head coach Brian Kelly officially named sophomore Everett Golson Notre Dame's starting QB for their opener against Navy.

Kelly said the decision was a tough one but "we would not name (Golson) the starter unless we felt this was the next step toward moving our program forward." Projected offseason starter Tommy Rees is suspended for the first game due to his involvement in a bar fight. Rees was not overly impressive in any of his opportunities last season, so Golson may permanently lock down the job with a solid performance.

Notre Dame sophomore Everett Golson appears to be the leader to start at QB for the school's opener.

Projected offseason starter Tommy Rees is suspended for the Irish's first contest due to his involvement in a bar fight. Golson has worked his way from fourth string to first in less than a year and made a statement during the team's spring scrimmage, completing 11 of 15 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns. Notre Dame opens their season against Navy on September 1 in Dublin, Ireland.

Everett Golson concluded the spring with a strong showing in the Blue-Gold game.

Golson, Andrew Hendrix and true frosh Gunner Kiel have been and will continue to compete to be the primary backup to starter Tommy Rees. Hendrix had the job last season, but Golson could have only helped his chances with an effort that included completing 11-of-15 attempts. Golson redshirted a year ago and was outstanding on the scout team.

Everett Golson - QB - Fighting Irish

Notre Dame’s Everett Golson has developed to the point he could be in the mix at quarterback in 2012.

Andrew Hendrix ultimately became the backup to starter Tommy Rees this season. That left Golson to take a redshirt and, after struggling with being on the outside looking in, acquitted himself well on the scout team and even won an award for his work in that role. If Rees (2,708 yards and 19/12) cannot nail down the top job heading into 2012, which is something he could do with a strong showing against Florida State in the Champs Sports Bowl on Dec. 29, then the door will be left ajar for Hendrix and Golson.
