FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Everett Golson's first love is basketball. Music would seem to be second on the Notre Dame quarterback's list.

He's not too bad at football, either.

A season that started in Ireland and had plenty of tests along the way ends in Miami on Monday night, when Golson and the top-ranked Fighting Irish take on No. 2 Alabama in the BCS title game.

He's made 10 starts this season and won them all, one away from matching the Notre Dame record for consecutive victories to open a career. Of course, tying that mark isn't exactly the biggest prize that Golson will be chasing when the Irish face the Crimson Tide.

Says Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chuck Martin: ``He's pretty good at his hobby - this being his hobby.''
