0:00.0	Jesse, are you ready for rapid fire.
0:17.3	Let's continue this monumentous rapid fire.
0:21.6	Let's do it.
0:22.8	Marcus Freeman said earlier this week that Nosegard Howard Cross will be back for
0:28.3	Notre Dame's college football playoff matchup against Indiana.
0:31.2	Scale of 1 to 10, how important is getting Howard Cross back for this game?
0:39.9	Yeah, it's got to be 10 out of 10. He's, you know, a guy who preseason had aspirations and is on, you know, he is probably going to be

1:15.8	run option first. You have to be able to take away, you know, essentially the ability to run. So I think
1:21.8	that's where Notre Dame is going to really start to press IU. So having him back is really essential for
1:27.2	both of those things,
1:27.9	creating pressure and also eating up double teams and getting into some of those run lanes.
1:34.5	Before I answer my question,
1:36.7	and you had some great points that you made right there,
1:40.7	someone just pointed out,
