Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that Riley Leonard made a paid appearance at Dick’s Sporting Goods here in town Friday. It was supposed to be a solo paid NIL appearance, but instead he brought his offensive linemen with him and is letting them get paid in cash and Dick’s gift cards. * ESPN's Heather Dinich said this about Notre Dame's win over Texas A&M: "That was a signature win for Freeman. I was on the field when they lost to Ohio State last year. This was another fight to the finish, but the Irish got it done this time. Turning point?" Buy or Sell last week’s win over the Aggies as a turning point for the Notre Dame program? * Fill-in the blank…Here’s what Notre Dame’s wide receiver snap count looked like against Texas A&M: Collins 59, Greathouse 48, Mitchell 32, Thomas 23, Faison 20, Harrison 9. That means BLANK going forward. * With Jordan Faison out with an ankle this week, we will see more of redshirt freshman KK Smith. Do we expect Smith to be a factor against Northern Illinois? * What’s your confidence in Mitch Jeter after watching him boot three field goals last week? * Over/Under... 1.5 punts by Notre Dame this weekend. * NIU had 60-yard pass play and a 60-yard run play last week vs Western Illinois. Over/Under…20 yards for the longest play they will have this week against the Irish. * Fill-in the blank…Northern Illinois refers to games against Power 4 teams as “Boneyard” games and they have 18 all-time “Boneyard” wins dating back to 1983. * Buy or Sell Pat McAfee being good for College Game Day? Notre Dame/Northern Illinois game props: * Over/Under 205.5 passing yards, 1.5 touchdown passes and 42.5 rushing yards for Riley Leonard * Over/Under 67.5 rushing yards for Jeremiyah Love * Over/Under 31.5 receiving yards for Jaden Greathouse * Over/Under 48.5 receiving yards for Beaux Collins * Final game prediction!

0:20.2	Here we are. Here we are. So Riley Leonard made an
0:23.2	appearance at Dick's sporting goods today, right here in town. It was supposed to be a solo
0:29.6	paid NIL appearance for Riley Leonard. But he said, hey, offensive linemen, come along. And he let the offensive lineman take the money.
0:40.5	I guess they got, you know, both payment in cash and gift cards for the appearance.
0:46.4	What do you guys think of that? I think Riley Leonard must be doing well in the NIL if he's already, you know, passing along.
0:53.4	Giving it away. Passing along his gifts to the offensive line. But I if he's already, you know, passing along. Giving it away.
0:54.6	Passing along his gifts to the offensive line.
0:57.3	But I know he's got the one with Roeback.
1:00.4	I know he's got one with New Era.
1:02.5	Him and Hannah Hidalgo, I'm pretty sure, are the new era reps for Notre Dame.
1:07.5	And so, you know, Ryan Leonard, he's going to do just fine in the NIL.
1:11.6	And I don't even think at the end of the day it matters to him, right?

1:17.5	He's talked before about how he's, you know, a man of Christ and that sort of stuff.
1:21.7	And I think that goes a long way with him, too, being able to play at you know at a university like notre dame and in further you know connect
1:28.0	or get his connection with god um and so it's just a smart move if you're riley lured because

1:40.1	them to buy in and trust you more you say hey let's come along and take all my free gifts.
1:45.0	And so I think it's just, it's really smart of Riley Leonard. And I think he's a natural leader.
1:50.0	And that's ultimately what you need out of the quarterback position, what you need out of the
