| 0:00.0 | It's hour two of Budweiser's weekday sports meet with Irish Breakdown.com. |
| 0:23.0 | Glad to have you with this on this Tuesday as we roll into Rapid Fire time. |
| 0:30.7 | If Jesse is with me, I don't know exactly. |
| 0:34.2 | There he is. |
| 0:35.9 | Started to get scared there. |
| 0:37.0 | You had the screen shield |
| 0:38.6 | up ready for rapid fire i got to unmute myself first but uh i am ready for some rapid |
| 0:47.0 | fire i this day just keeps firing on and on is that good or bad i know it started bad. Is it at least better now than it was an hour ago? |
| 0:59.5 | It is better. It is better. All right. All right. Let's see how it goes then. See if we can keep that rolling. Fill in the blank. |
| 1:08.3 | Jeremiah Love became Notre Dame's first Heisman trophy finalist in the last 13 years this season. It's blank. Jeremiah Love became Notre Dame's first Heisman trophy finalist in the last 13 years |
| 1:13.0 | this season. It's blank that neither of Notre Dame's last two Heisman trophy finalists were |
| 1:19.4 | quarterbacks. I'm going to go sad. And the reason why it's sad is because unless you're a |
| 1:25.7 | quarterback, you're not going to win the Heisman. So let's get that off the table right now. And then I also think it's sad because it really |

| 1:53.3 | And I think you can say, you know, for lack of better terms, it's the reason why they haven't won a national championship as well. |
| 2:00.4 | The college football, college football is largely revolves around quarterback. I mean, let's look at IU. Let's look at, |
| 2:08.1 | you know, all these really good programs over the last, any of these Alabama teams, Clemson teams. |

And it's saddening that the last, you know, Notre Dame's last two Heisman finalists were a running back and a linebacker. That's right. I think we're along the same lines in this kind of what we're thinking. Because Brady Quinn was the last Notre Dame quarterback who was a Heisman |
| 2:35.2 | trophy finalist. And it's amazing. That's that's been almost 20 years ago, two decades at this |
