Are you ready for rapid fire?

0:16.2

Let's do this.

0:17.2

Covering it up.

0:18.4

There's a lot of meat on the bone in this rapid fire.

0:23.4

I thought so as well. ESPN.com says cj car is notre dame's x factor this season is there any other answer for the yes but

0:30.4

it's not as strong as cj car i'll play a little bit of devil's advocate here okay okay okay i still

0:35.5

think jeremiah love is an x factor on this season. You need

0:38.2

him to perform well at a Heisman level. He needs to shoulder majority of the load on the offensive

0:43.2

side, especially when C.J. Carr and the offense is struggling. You know, he's still a first-time

1:34.7

If Notre Dame wants to make this run again.

1:37.1

Needs to play at least at the same level.

1:39.9

Exactly, exactly.

1:41.4

And so we just, none of that is given at the end of the day are guaranteed.

1:45.0

We don't know that that transition from Al Golden to Chris Ash is going to be perfect and the defense is going to be, you know, at the same level or maybe even better than what they were last year.

1:55.2

So my other X factors are Jeremiah, I love just because he's a Heisman contender and Chris Ash because he's replacing a really
