Wednesday is Mailbag Day on IB Nation Sports Talk and Irish Breakdown is answering questions from listeners on today's show. There's plenty to talk about, from quarterback Riley Leonard to Marcus Freeman and more. After starting with some thoughts on where we were when the events of 9/11 happened, we get into Notre Dame football topics, including:

* Would we have an issue if Leonard doesn't start since Notre Dame didn't list him on its injury report this week?

* Thoughts on Steve Angeli's readiness to play and the ineffectiveness of punter James Rendell so far.

* How pivotal was Jaden Greathouse's drop last week?

* What responsibility does quarterback Gino Guidugli have for the lack of development of Irish quarterbacks the last two years?

* Which defensive position had the most trouble last week?

* What's our confidence Notre Dame will beat Purdue?

* What questions will the Irish answer this Saturday?

* What would put Marcus Freeman on the hot seat?

* What would happen with Notre Dame quarterbacks this year if Leonard ended up redshirting this year?

*More!

Today's Rapid Fire topics include:

* We start with Notre Dame offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock's response to questions about Riley Leonard's reported injury. 

* We hear and react to comments from Northern Illinois head coach Thomas Hammock who had a lot to say about Irish head coach Marcus Freeman in an interview this week. 

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Hammock says Jayden Harrison is Notre Dame’s best player.

* We react to comments from Irish defensive coordinator Al Golden, who was asked this week about iPads being used during games but his answer went in a different direction.

* The great James Earl Jones died this week. His sports movie credits include Bingo Long’s Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings, Field of Dreams and Sandlot. Which was his best?

* From a listener: What do we think the storylines for Top Gun 3 will be?

* From a listener: Will last week's blocked field goals affect Mitch Jeter's confidence going forward?

Today's Rapid Fire topics include:

* We hear and discuss comments from Marcus Freeman on what he sees for Riley Leonard this season.

* On a scale of 1 to 10, what are the chances an Irish quarterback not named Riley Leonard plays against Purdue this week?

* Thoughts on a post on Twitter/X by ESPN's Dan Orlovsky on Irish freshman quarterback CJ Carr.

* Fill-in the blank...Texas got a big road win at Michigan last weekend. It’s BLANK that Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkesian warned his team not to fall into a “Notre Dame scenario” this week when they host UT San Antonio.

* Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price combined for 15 carries last week vs NIU. What’s the minimum number of combined carries those two should have in a game?

* A listener asks if we would rather Notre Dame win 10 games with Riley Leonard this season and then start over with a new quarterback next year or win eight games with freshman CJ Carr to build off his experience going into next season.

* With all the drama after the Irish loss, we haven’t had a chance to talk about new NBC play by play announcer Dan Hicks calling the game. What did you think of him and the broadcast?

Irish Breakdown starts today's show with discussion of a report that Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard may have injured his non-throwing shoulder in last week's loss to Northern Illinois. What could it mean for his availability this weekend at Purdue? Could we see Steve Angeli this week? We also have thoughts on both the offense and defense after last week's loss and what needs to happen going forward. We hear Irish head coach Marcus Freeman's thoughts on his interior defensive line and how NIU had success running the ball against Notre Dame. We also take a look at some offensive plays on the Whiteboard.
