Brian Kelly is a big fan of playing both his quarterbacks. Whether it's an itchy trigger finger or merely trying to find a spark, he's not against switching Tommy Rees in for Everett Golson when the going gets going for Notre Dame.
Tommy Rees vs. Everett Golson: Brian Kelly would be bad at ‘Deal or No Deal’
Tommy Rees is in for Everett Golson again. [UPDATE: Golson is already back in.]
Matt Cashore-US PRESSWIRE
With the Fighting Irish still down to Pitt midway through the third quarter, Kelly made a change once again. Rees came in for the Golson, who was 9 of 15 for 88 yards before being pulled. I’m sure Golson will come back in; this seems to be a recurring theme.
DOES ANY MEDIA OUTLET TRACK QUARTERBACK FLIP-FLOPPING? BRIAN KELLY HAS TO BE APPROACHING THE BALL COACH FOR ALL-TIME LEADER.

Rees hasn’t been awe-inspiring, completing 6 of 10 passes for 65 yards, and the important thing is the interception he threw leading to a Pittsburgh score, pushing the Panthers’ lead to 17-6.
Kelly has found some magic in Rees this year in critical moments, but the switch today could prove costly.
