Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * On a scale of 1 to 10: What's our confidence in Irish head coach Marcus Freeman through the first four games of the season? * Freeman got on safety Adon Shuler after the unsportsmanlike penalty late in the first half Saturday that kept the Irish from getting the ball back. We discuss Freeman's response in the moment as well as his explanation afterwards. * Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price alternated possessions in Saturday’s game and ended up with a little more than 20 snaps each. Should they start out alternating RBs on possessions right away or should Love stay in there to try to get in more of a groove? * Adam Zucker of CBS and Rece Davis from ESPN didn’t include Notre Dame in the top 25 on their ballots for this week’s AP football Poll. Fair or Foul? * Fill-in the blank...Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank putting himself into the team’s ring of honor is BLANK.  * Start, Bench, Cut these three as broadcasters: Tom Brady, Pat McAfee and Nick Saban.

Trevor, are you ready for rapid fire?

0:16.9

Sure I am. Let's do it then. So we did some confidence rankings earlier in the show. This is the big one. It sits at the top of the totem pole. We're going to start rapid fire with this, excluding anything that has to do with recruiting. Scale of 1 to 10, your confidence in the head coach, Marcus Freeman right now.

0:38.5

Five.

0:39.2

How he handles this weekend is going to show me a lot with the trajectory of this program

0:44.4

and where he's going to take it.

0:45.7

But right now, five.

0:48.1

Yeah, I'm at a six right now.

0:52.6

This weekend is going to show me a lot as well, especially in terms of a

0:56.7

potential, excuse me, full circle type moment because, you know, we don't have to rehash all of it,

1:04.8

but Marshall and Stanford, year one, 10 men on the field at the end of Ohio State. And it's like, okay, you know, how much of that is on the head coach?

1:14.8

How much of that is on the position coach? We're not having the right group of guys out there for the city.

1:19.8

You know, all those different things. Okay. But then total letdown, total meltdown at Louisville.

1:29.6

And, you know, again, a lot of it had to do with the turnovers that were being committed,

1:34.4

Sam Hartman's first real just a kind of day as a Notre Dame player.

1:40.8

But as Louisville fans will remind you, they saw that before when Sam Hartman was

1:45.4

at Wake Forest, and they were kind of expecting that. But like Notre Dame didn't seem like

1:51.7

they were in the right frame of mind in that game last year either, and how much that played a part

1:57.3

in it. They didn't look like they got out coached at Clemson last year.

2:02.1

And it is really curious to me that Notre Dame played their worst games last year,

2:11.7

albeit against some at least decent teams on the road, whereas so far this year, you've got four games. They've played

2:19.4

better in the two road games than they've played in the two home games against what are

2:24.4

supposed to be inferior opponents against Mac opponents. So this is a really big test in a lot of
