Podcast: Will Brian Kelly's quarterback gamble pay off?

Share

In planning on playing both DeShone Kizer and Malik Zaire against Texas Sept. 4, Brian Kelly is taking a big risk -- but one that could have a big reward at the end. 

Conventional coaching wisdom is to pick a quarterback and stick with him, or to run a dual-quarterback offense with two players of differing skillsets (i.e., pass-first and run-first). But Kelly is rolling with two players in Kizer and Zaire who run the same offense, with the biggest difference being that Kizer is right-handed and Zaire is left-handed (offensive lineman Mike McGlinchey said the handedness of whoever is in doesn't affect how the offense is run, for what it's worth). 

So what could Notre Dame's two-quarterback system look like? And what are the chances of Kelly's gamble paying off? I broke that down with Mike Monaco on the Still Independent Podcast this week:
