Notre Dame makes quarterback change

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has made a change: Tommy Rees will be the starting quarterback for Saturday night’s game at Michigan.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has made a change: Tommy Rees will be the starting quarterback for Saturday night’s game at Michigan.

Kelly announced the decision Tuesday, three days after benching an ineffective Dayne Crist in Saturday’s lackluster 23-20 loss to South Florida in the season-opener. Rees played well in the second half but an Irish rally fell short.

“I want to win right now and believe Tommy gives us the best chance to win against Michigan,” Kelly said.
