Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * ESPN has wide receiver as Notre Dame’s biggest question mark this season. What do you have as the team’s biggest question mark? * This question comes from IB subscriber/listener Andre Tonsil: What if Notre Dame is ranked #4 team in a country with the record of 11 - 1 and the College Football Playoff committee seeds them 7 or 8 because the teams that lost power Four conferences championship games lost in close games? What do you think of this possibility? * These are the college football programs that have the most all-time wins without ever winning a national championship: Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Utah, North Carolina, Missouri, Purdue, Oregon, Baylor, and NC State. Which is the most surprising? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Minnesota Vikings rookie JJ McCarthy only threw 34 total passes in the fourth quarter for Michigan last season. * With NFL training camps under way, we’re going to start doing this question with each division: How many teams from the AFC North can win the Super Bowl this season? * Jim Leyland was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this weekend. Who’s the next manager who should get the call? * Notre Dame alum Arike Ogunbowale earned MVP honors with 34 points to lead the WNBA All-Stars to a 117-109 win over Team USA in the All-Star Game. On a scale of 1 to 10...How worried should the US team be heading into the Paris Olympics?

0:00.0	Are you ready for rapid fire?
0:18.2	Let's do it.
0:19.1	I feel like this is a good segue to where to where we're going because
0:23.1	ESPN has wide receiver as notre dame's biggest question mark heading into this season so my question
0:31.2	is what do you have as notre dame's biggest question mark wide receiver i think the line, while it's young and inexperienced, will find its way.
0:41.2	I think they have a quarterback that as long as he stays healthy is going to produce.
0:46.1	I feel more confident about Jeremiah I love and Judarian Price than I do, you know,
0:50.9	than this wide receiver room as a whole.
0:53.3	And listen, there's, there is, it shouldn't be a coincidence that, you know,
0:59.2	the recent wide receiver struggles in terms of recruiting parallels, you know,
1:05.2	what ESPN also thinks is Notre Dame's kind of biggest question mark going into the season,

1:24.6	offense.
1:25.1	And that's essentially what it is, is Marcus Freeman really hasn't
1:28.2	had an identity on the offensive side since being the head coach at Notre Dame. I think he's found
1:33.9	some consistency in Denbrock and he's going to provide consistency at quarterback, offensive scheme,
1:39.5	wide receiver room. All of these things are naturally going to work out over the next couple
1:42.7	years. But it always takes that first class to kind of sway things, to show people,
1:47.6	hey, this is what this offensive is capable of accomplishing.
