Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Vyper defensive end Jordan Botelho says he’s dropped close to 20 pounds and is weighing between 250 and 255. * Notre Dame running backs coach Deland McCullough says freshman linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa is one of the toughest Irish defenders for his backs to block on blitzes. We hear McCullough's comments on KVA and react accordingly. * Notre Dame defensive lineman Howard Cross shared his thoughts on the importance of "consistency". We hear them and react.  * Notre Dame athletic director Pete Bevacqua recently told The Athletic that despite USC head coach Lincoln Riley’s recent doubt about the ND-USC series continuing going forward, the Southern Cal administration is “gung ho” about keeping the series going forward. On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that the series will continue? * Southern Cal has a season over/under win total of 7.5. We predict their record for Lincoln Riley’s third season.
