Since Kelly's arrival all his 1st year year QB's had success. Crist, Rees and Golson all started off very successful but as ND fans know all 3 of these ended quite badly. Every Qb under Kelly has regressed in their second year. Kizer had one of his worse games vs OSU despite OSU missing 3 starting Dlineman.
When Kelly has a 1st year qb he simplifies things and it goes well, the second year he opens up the playbook has the qb thinking too much and that is when disaster has set in. The QB's than start turning the ball over, holding onto the ball to long etc and making bad decisions.
I know Zaire will fight for the starting job but Kizer was great this year it will be difficult to take his job unless of course he regresses in his 2nd year as all of Kelly's QB's have done.
