He is currently suspended and with his absence Everett Golson emerged as the Irish’s new quarterback. Freshman Gunner Kiel was also in the mix for the job as well.

However when it was all said and done, Golson came out on top:

Everett Golson is expected to be named the Notre Dame starting quarterback today, according to Keith Arnold of NBC Sports, as the team prepares for its opener in Dublin, Ireland next week against Navy.

I don’t think Notre Dame will be in the title picture, but maybe Golson can make it an exciting season. He is already drawing comparisons to Charlie Ward.

Tommy Rees and a teammate ran into the police and things got ugly:

Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees was pepper sprayed and arrested early Thursday morning after an alleged physical altercation with South Bend police, who had responded to a report of a loud party.

The 19-year-old Rees, who will be a junior in the fall, is accused of underage drinking and running from police outside a home at 716 N. Notre Dame Ave. about 12:30 a.m., police said.

Notre Dame linebacker Carlo Calabrese also was arrested at the home on suspicion of disorderly conduct in response to Rees being arrested.

Rees, from Lake Forest, Ill., was charged Thursday by the St. Joseph County prosecutor’s office with two counts of resisting law enforcement, both Class A misdemeanors; battery, a Class A misdemeanor; and illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor, a Class C misdemeanor. Rees was originally arrested on suspicion of battery on a police officer, which would have been a felony.

Rees posted $250 and bonded out of the St. Joseph County Jail Thursday afternoon.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly released a brief statement Thursday regarding the incident.

“I am aware of (Thursday’s) incident involving two of our football players,” the statement read. “I am of course very concerned given the nature of the allegations, but I am still gathering information. I’ll withhold judgment until I can collect all the facts and speak with both Carlo and Tommy.”

Tommy Rees, Alfonzo Dennard, and every one else out there: if the police are trying to bust up your fun time, TAKE THE L and live to party another day.
