SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly finally let DeShone Kizer know on Wednesday hes the guy at quarterback for the 18th-ranked Fighting Irish.With that, the competition between Kizer and Malik Zaire came to an end, at least for now. The news didnt come as a surprise after Kizer thoroughly outplayed Zaire in a 50-47 season-opening loss to Texas. The only surprise was it took until Wednesday for Kelly to let Kizer know he wouldnt be sharing time with Zaire when the Irish (0-1) face Nevada (1-0) on Saturday.He told me Id take the first snap for sure and then he kind of congratulated me on fighting through the process and encouraged me to maintain the same mind-set and assured me Id be the guy on Saturday, Kizer said.Kizer threw for five touchdowns and ran for another and guided Notre Dame within field-goal range two other times on 13 possessions against Texas. The Irish failed to score on the three possessions Zaire played.Kizer was 15 of 24 passing for 215 yards with a pass efficiency rating of 206.5 and rushed for 77 yards on 13 carries. Zaire was 2 of 5 passing for 23 yards with a 78.6 pass efficiency rating and had no yards rushing on three carries.Kelly did not talk with the media on Wednesday. On Tuesday he said he would announce a decision after talking with the quarterbacks. Zaire, the starter last season until breaking his right ankle in the second game, didnt speak with the media on Wednesday.Kizer said he believes the competition with Zaire helped him become a better quarterback by making him focus more on each play.In the last eight months I learned quite a bit about myself as a quarterback, as a leader, as a teammate, he said. From that hopefully I developed into somebody I wanted to be for this season. Malik really challenged me and he will continue to challenge me. Im really grateful for the situation.Kizer, who led the Irish to nine victories and a No. 11 ranking last season, said being able to take all the snaps with the starters should help him prepare better for Nevada.It helps with your mind-set, he said.Fjallraven Kanken No.2 Backpack .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later.

Wall is healthy again after having surgery on each knee, and Beal is fresh off signing a $128 million, five-year contract that ranked among the richest in the NBA this offseason.Wall conceded during the summer that he and Beal have a tendency to dislike each other on the court. Its a point of tension but one they say wont create cracks in the Wizards franchise foundation.Were just two competitive people, Wall said recently. Whenever you have your two best players and they both want the game-winning shot and want those type of plays, youre going to have disagreements on the court. But other than that, were fine.Wall and Beal are coming off career highs in points and a low in team success as Washington finished .500 and missed the playoffs after two consecutive postseason appearances. New coach Scott Brooks is in the midst of installing a defense-first mentality and is counting on Wall and Beal to set the tone there.To be leaders defensively, Wall and Beal have to be on the same page. They say they are, even if sometimes they argue like brothers.We both realize that thats whats important here: us winning games, us being leaders of a team and us growing as a backcourt together, Beal said. Im going to be here another five years; hes going to be here for hopefully the rest of his career, as well. We have a great system, a great team, our chemistrys great. Me and John are fine, and were going to be in the rankings of the best backcourts.The Wizards dont usually make those rankings, and being overlooked is something that motivates Wall and Beal. Brooks, who doesnt minnd healthy disagreements and believes they are a sign of a strong team, wants his top players to be fueled by slights but not distracted by them.ddddddddddddYou still want to play with a chip on your shoulder, Brooks said Tuesday. Every team has talent and every team has a lot of skilled players, but when you have a guy like Brad and John, you want that. You want that in them. Thats what gets them going.Wall and Beal push each other as much as anything, even if that can cause friction. Wall just wants to downplay the effect that friction has on the Wizards success.With Brad, people want to put words in your mouth and make it seem like its worse than what it was, he said. Nah. We all knew Brad was going to get paid a certain contract and he deserves it. All I said is the same thing I did -- when I got paid, everybody said oh I didnt deserve it. We just got to go and prove it.I think when hes healthy, hes proven that he can play in this league. He can be an all-star, he can be one of the best two-way players.Wall will get eased into another prove-it season and expects to play around 32 minutes in the Wizards opener Thursday at the Atlanta Hawks. With Brooks wanting to keep Walls minutes in the low-30 range, hed also like the 23-year-old Beal to take over some more of the ball-distribution responsibilities and create for teammates as much as he looks for his own shot.We have a lot of players that can make plays, Brooks said. I think Brad has really improved in that area. Thats one of the things Ive challenged him when I first took over the job in May is to be a better playmaker. I think he can be one of the best two-way off guards in the league. That growth has to happen. ' ' '
