Golson threw two TD passes in Notre Dame spring game.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Everett Golson threw for two touchdowns in Notre Dame's quarterback competition during the Fighting Irish's spring game Saturday.
Tommy Rees, Andrew Hendrix and Gunner Kiel each had an interception. Coach Brian Kelly elected to rotate Rees, Hendrix and Golson on alternating possessions in the first half and then allowed Kiel to run all the plays in the 16-minute running clock second half. Kiel was 5 of 9 for 57 yards.
Golson, a redshirt freshman out of Myrtle Beach High and 2-time WPDE Zoneman winner, completed 11 of 15 passes for 120 yards and ran for 25 yards on six carries. Rees was 7 of 14 for 84 yards and Hendrix was 4 of 9 for 51 yards and a touchdown. George Atkinson III ran for 124 yards but fumbled twice.
Notre Dame had six turnovers, not what Kelly wanted to see after emphasizing protecting the ball all spring. Golson was the only one of the four quarterbacks who did not throw an interception.
