Today's Rapid Fire topics include:

* Notre Dame wide receiver Jayden Thomas recently about what his time at Notre Dame has been like: ”I’ve had three receiver coaches, two head coaches, three OCs, two DCs, two special teams coaches - it is what it is. You come to a place like Notre Dame for Notre Dame. It’s not just because of a coach, but a culture and family. And the brand of football. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world." That says what to you? 

* Irish defensive coordinator Al Golden said this about having the right players on the field to defend Navy Saturday: “It's really not about the guys that rushed the passer well, or the guys that played well last week, or the guys that played well versus Texas A&M. It’s, the guys that play this defense well, and obviously that play against this offense and how they operate well, I think that's the most important thing.” We discuss if we think we could see new faces and/or defensive players shuffled to different positions this week. 

* There’s a lot of talk about college football playoff chances and predictions going on right now. On a scale of 1 to 10...What’s your legitimate concern that Notre Dame could miss the playoffs with one loss?

* Fill-in the blank...It would be BLANK if Indiana makes the playoff with a first-year head coach.

* Jason Kelce says goal posts should be narrowed because kickers are too good and influencing games these days. Do you Buy or Sell it?

* Who wins: Michigan or Michigan State?

* Who wins: LSU or Texas A&M?

* Bigger TV genius: Larry David or Vince Gilligan?

Notre Dame's 31-13 win over Georgia Tech wasn't always pretty, but it was impressive. The manner in which Notre Dame earned the win showed the program's growth since the early season, but it also showed the team's talent and resilience.
