“Basically I had poor judgment on the test,” Golson told SI’s Andy Staples. “It wasn’t due to poor grades or anything like that.”
Golson made 11 starts in 2012, throwing for 2,405 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also ran for 298 yards and six scores.
Notre Dame lost to Alabama, 42-14, in the title game.
This season, without Golson, the Irish turned to veteran Tommy Rees. Rees completed 53.7 percent of his passes for 2,938 yards, 27 TDs and 13 interceptions.
Notre Dame (8-4) is playing in the Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 28 against Rutgers in Yankee Stadium.
