Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * We discuss comments from Irish head coach Marcus Freeman on the penalty that brought back Jordan Faison's fake punt touchdown against Virginia. * Game etiquette has become a topic in Notre Dame games the last few weeks with all the lopsided scores. We have comments from Freeman on that and discuss Virginia calling a timeout with less than a minute to play to score its last touchdown. * Fill-in the blank...This Tweet from USA Today writer Dan Wolken is BLANK...”Imagine telling everyone you don’t think you can break the glass ceiling at Notre Dame because of recruiting so you go to LSU and get worse.” * Fill-in the blank...Indiana signing first-year head coach Curt Cignetti to an eight-year, $64 million dollar contract extension is BLANK. * On a scale of 1 to 10...What’s your confidence Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter will win the Heisman? * The Chicago Bears are now 4-6 with four straight losses after falling to the Packers. You are on the record as being anti-Caleb Williams. If you put the blame for this season on a pie chart between Williams...head coach Matt Eberflus and the general manager Ryan Poles how would you divvy it up? * Thoughts on the Mike Tyson - Jake Paul fight and the Netflix streaming debacle.

0:00.0	I will ask you again. Are you ready for rapid fire?
0:17.6	Let's go.
0:19.0	All right.
0:19.9	So ready.
0:20.7	I've got a feeling we'll probably come back to some of that stuff.
0:23.0	Yeah, you might.
0:24.0	So Marcus Freeman talked a little bit today at his press conference about Jordan Faison's fake punt that was called back.
0:31.0	Here is what he had to say.
0:33.4	The thing was it was not a kicking formation.
0:37.0	So if it's not a kicking formation, you have to have five guys on the line between the numbers of 50 and 99.
0:43.3	You know, we going into the game, we believe that it was a kicking formation.

1:33.1	I know it didn't count for seven points, but we're going to celebrate that fake punt.
1:36.9	I can't wait to show them because there's been a lot of work put into that.
1:40.5	We obviously had it ready.
1:41.8	You guys might not know this, but we had it ready for the
1:44.6	bowl game, didn't get a chance to run it, and we brought it back out after Georgia Tech. And for weeks,
1:51.4	when you practice something for weeks, the players are dying to run it. Just the opportunity
