It's "We In/We Out" day on IB Nation Sports Talk! That means Irish Breakdown is answering questions about Notre Dame football and more, with all questions submitted by our Champions Lounge premium board subscribers. Today's questions include:

* ND will have at least one wide receiver earn at least 3rd team All America honors from at least three of the five “official” all America lists. We in or we out?

* Notre Dame's combination of young and inexperienced OL give up 6 pressures or less week 1 against an elite DL and stellar defensive mind in Mike Elko. In or Out?

* So Joe Alt was an elite pass protector before Joe Rudolph came to coach at ND. Taking Alt out of the equation, ND’s OL pass protection grade as a unit was a C+ or better last season. We In or We Out? 

* It’s reasonable for a fan to believe – as I do — that A&M has at least a 50% chance to beat ND due to: home field advantage, their QB being way better than anyone realizes, the ability of A&M’s DL to potentially dominate our OL week 1 (when was the last season ND’s OL looked good week 1 against a defensive unit with above-average talent, and the overall positive vibes in the program with Elko and the excellent coaches he’s hired. We In or We Out?

* There will be at least 2 true freshmen in starting lineup or rotation for USC. We In or We Out?

* Kyngston Viliamu-Asa wil be the starting Mike LB by late October. We In or We Out?

* CJ Carr will be backup by season end? We in/ we out?

* We In or We Out on having a succession plan instead of a national coaching search?

* As it currently stands, there is no actual trap game on the 2024 football schedule. Are we in or are we out?
