Here's a QB comparison between Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer '18 and Florida State's Everett Golson '15 -- against their only common opponent this season -- Georgia Tech:
KIZER'S 1st COLLEGIATE START vs. GEORGIA TECH: WIN!
- Passing: 21 for 30 for 242 Yards -- 1 TD & 1 Interception
- Rushing: 5 for 6 Yards -- Longest rush: 13 yards
- ND Total Offense: 30 points / 457 yards
GOLSON'S 32nd COLLEGIATE START vs. GEORGIA TECH: Loss
- Passing: 20 for 30 for 210 Yards -- 0 TD & 1 Interception
- Rushing: 7 for -12 Yards -- Longest rush: 7 yards
- FSU Total Offense: 16 points / 280 yards
Pretty amazing that a QB (Kizer) who would have been 3rd string to Golson had he not transferred -- had similar, if not better numbers in his first ever collegiate start...
