Golson to start at QB for Irish

Anonymous Associated Press Tue Oct 23, 2012, 10:26 PM CDT

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said quarterback Everett Golson did well during a full workout and will start for the No. 5 Fighting Irish at No. 8 Oklahoma on Saturday.

Kelly said Tuesday Golson is at 100 percent. Kelly benched Golson against Brigham Young last week as a precaution, saying he wanted to give him more time to recover from a concussion sustained in a helmet-to-helmet hit again-st Stanford.

Kelly said Golson is feeling confident heading into the game against the Sooners (5-1).

Golson has struggled at times for the Irish (7-0), but Kelly said he is making progress. Kelly says Golson had his best four plays against Stanford just before he was hurt.

Golson has completed 79 of 135 passes for 968 yards and four touchdowns. He has a pass completion percentage of 58.5 percent.

He has rushed for 81 yards on 42 carries for a 1.9 yard per carry average and two touchdowns.

The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. kickoff and will be televised by ABC.

It’s Notre Dame’s first trip to Norman since 1966. The Irish are a perfect 4-0 at Owen Field, including a 7-0 win in 1957 which broke OU’s 47-game win streak.

Maciel's dream still alive and kicking
J.P. Maciel wants college scouts to know he still is kicking ... and available.
Maciel, 21, who re-wrote the Enid Plainsmen football single-season and career kicking record books in his lone season on the gridiron in 2010, even showed off his leg strength Tuesday at the site of his past glory, Selby Stadium.
Fresh off an 8-hour shift from his job at Roberts Ranch, Maciel connected on 12 of 14 field goals, including nailing it from 50 yards, and was perfect from within 40 yards, and in 90-degree weather.
Such numbers would surely turn the heads or grab the attention of scouts out there. Yet, it’s been a frustrating time for Maciel since he graduated from Enid.
But his confidence has not wavered.
“Coaches don’t want to waste money (scholarships) on a kicker, but when they lose, it’s like, ‘oh man, I wish we had a kicker,”’ Maciel said, reflecting on why he remains sidelined.

Hearing delayed in Gundy, contractor suit
It’s the case of contractor and the coach.
On March 21, 2011, trim carpenter Brent Lee Loveland of Choctaw wore a gray shirt with red lettering that read “Oklahoma Baseball” to Oklahoma State University football coach Mike Gundy’s home, which was under construction near Stillwater.
Gundy and his wife, Kristen, found the shirt offensive and the OSU coach fired Loveland on the spot.
Loveland filed a breach of contract lawsuit in August 2011 against the Gundys in Payne County District Court.
A pretrial hearing scheduled Monday in Logan County has been delayed until July 29 or 30, Loveland’s attorney Edward White of Edmond said Wednesday.
