Irish Breakdown answers subscriber submitted We In/We out questions about Fighting Irish football. Some of today's questions include:

* We In/We Out: Riley Leonard has more passing touchdowns than rushing touchdowns in total for the next 3 games.

* Jadarian Price bounces back in a big way after his fumble/benching against Louisville.

* A frigid sub-32 degrees game day is preferable to a sweltering 90 degrees game day. We in or we out??

* The most difficult part about maintaining success in modern college football is player focus and culture (as evidenced by whatever FSU is doing). We in or we out??

* Kenny Minchey sees the field for at least two more games this year, and Carr sees the field at least one more time this year. We in or we out?

* We in/ We out: Guerby Lambert gets playing time going forward and looks good enough to work himself in to the starting lineup.

* We in/We out: Mitchell Evans rebounds in the remaining games and goes from currently 10 catches to 30 , from 82 Yards to 320 and from 0 TD to 5.

* We In/We Out: Jeremiyah Love is currently averaging just over 11 carries a game. That goes up over the remaining games to an average of 18 per game.

* If Al Washington’s recruiting could match the work he’s done to get guys like Junior Tuihalamaka, Loghan Thomas, and Bryce Young ready to play meaningful snaps this year, then he would be a top 5 DL coach in the country. We in or we out.

* We In / We Out: The two most difficult remaining games are the two service academies due to style of play and location of the games.

* We in/out: Jordan Clark is the biggest positive surprise off season transfer! Oben is the most disappointing offseason transfer!
