SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly would like to pick his starting quarterback after the first 19 practices. That way the Irish will have the final 10 days or so to get ready for their opener against USF on Sept. 3

The Irish quarterback derby will feature Dayne Crist, the starter last season until he hurt his knee and needed surgery for the second straight year; Tommy Rees, who started the final four games, all victories, including a win over Miami in the Sun Bowl; second-year player Andrew Hendrix; and freshman Everett Golson.

Kelly said he's like everyone else. He's not sure who the starter will be.

"It's really going to come down to the ability to run our offense at the pace and tempo we want to run it. So, Dayne and Tommy got the first shot at that because they got a little more experience," Kelly said Friday, a day before his second preseason camp begins.

UNC chancellor says sorry: Chancellor Holden Thorp said he regrets breaking NCAA rules by discussing a scholarship offer from fired football coach Butch Davis to Davis' son. Thorp told the Raleigh News & Observer and the Charlotte Observer he was disappointed the coach offered Drew Davis a scholarship without consulting Thorp or athletic director Dick Baddour. NCAA rules prohibit discussing recruits who haven't signed a letter of intent. In a statement, Thorp said the school reported the infraction, a secondary violation, to the ACC.

Tennessee: Senior defensive tackle Malik Jackson sprained his right knee. Coach Derek Dooley said Jackson likely would miss a couple of weeks of fall practice. He is the only returning starter among the team's defensive linemen and linebackers. He led the team with 11 tackles for loss and had five sacks and 48 tackles while playing in every game in 2010, starting 12.
