Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * We share our thoughts on Riley Leonard's comments that he is not afraid to get injured when he's running the ball.  * We hear Marcus Freeman's thoughts on freshman safety Kennedy Urlacher and discuss how he could help the Irish.  * Fill-in the blank…It’s BLANK that Jeremiyah Love is only averaging 11.6 carries per game...but he’s on pace for 1,116 rushing yards in a 12-game regular season. * Notre Dame plays its second MAC opponent of the season this week. It's the first time the Irish have ever played two MAC teams in the same season. Would you Buy or Sell them just schedule more mid to lower tier Power 4 teams like Purdue in the future instead of MAC level opponents? * Travis Hunter is averaging around 130 snaps a game playing cornerback and receiver for Colorado. What’s more likely: Hunter wins the Heisman Trophy or he opts out before the season is over?  * Fair or Foul: Georgia falling to No. 2 in the AP Poll this week after a narrow win at Kentucky over the weekend? * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the ACC has reprimanded Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi for saying “Wow. We beat West Virginia in the Backyard Brawl, and we beat the officials, too, in one game."  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://ibstore.irishbreakdown.com/  Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com  Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com​ Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/irish-breakdown/id1485286986 Like and follow Irish Breakdown on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishbreakdown Sign up for the FREE Irish Breakdown daily newsletter: https://www.subscribepage.com/irish-breakdown-newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.
