Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson is expecting a lot more of himself and the Fighting Irish offense next season.
Coaches bailing out on their teams is nothing new. Neither is saying one thing and doing the opposite. It's practically an occupational hazard.
One of the last things Manti Te'o remembers Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly telling his team before the BCS title game was about the importance of four particular segments of play.
Eddie Lacy, AJ McCarron and the No. 2 Crimson Tide rolled top-ranked Notre Dame 42-14 for the BCS championship Monday night, locking up a second straight national title and third in four years with another laugher of a title game.
Nick Saban has a charity called Nick's Kids Fund.
Everett Golson's first love is basketball. Music would seem to be second on the Notre Dame quarterback's list.
When No. 1 Notre Dame lines up on offense Monday night in the BCS championship, the team on the other side of the ball will look a little familiar.
Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart runs the stingiest defense in the country when it comes to yards allowed, but sees a bunch of challenges in preparing for Notre Dame.
When Everett Golson sees a piano, he usually sits down and starts entertaining. He plays several instruments, keeps a keyboard in his room and loves to sing.
The BCS championship is going old school.
If Manti Te'o's career at Notre Dame has seemed like something straight out of a Hollywood script, perhaps it's fitting the linebacker is cast as an underdog in the final two scenes of his collegiate career.
Thanks, Notre Dame.
Theo Riddick rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown, Kyle Brindza kicked five field goals, and No. 1 Notre Dame secured a spot in the BCS championship game with a 22-13 victory over Southern California on Saturday night.
Brian Kelly appears to be the coach with all the right answers.

Golson said being "crushed and blown out and basically getting embarrassed" by the Crimson Tide has led him to work harder this offseason.
"Mostly because it amazes me is those guys getting the ball off at the rate that they do," Golson said. "Drew Brees, his big thing is his footwork. He's very exact. Letting his footwork take him through his reads and his progressions. So just watching him helps me a lot."
