Some of today's We In/We Out questions include:

* We in/we out – Riley Leonard, Jeremiah Love, and Jadarian Price will all score a TD on Saturday.

* We in/ we out – The Notre Dame defense will force 2 turnovers on Saturday.

* Notre Dame will win by 2 Touchdowns but score less than 30 points against A&M. We In or We Out?

* The storyline coming out of the A&M game will be something other than the OL, weather, or atmosphere at Kyle stadium. We in or we out?

* A&M will be concerned with the run and mobile QB that they will try to run stop and blitz, which will open up a passing game everyone doubts. Leonard completes 65% of his passes and lights them up through the air.

* We in we out that Love will catch a pass and run touchdown the game vs A&M?

* We in we out that Love will have 100 yards receiving and 100 yards rushing?

* We in we out that Leonard will have 300 yd passing and 75 yd rushing?

* We in we out on the ND defense will out score A&M offense?

* Jordan Faison, if not the most productive, becomes the most valuable receiver on the team and is catapulted into national recognition by the end of the year

* IF Notre Dame wins a championship, Irish fans, after years of outside abuse and self-doubt, become unbearable to the rest of the nation.

* We In We Out: the young O line plays better than expected (doesn’t get dominated). No one is talking about the defense and D line the O line has been going against all camp. If the O line hasn’t been a complete disaster in camp (how could it, Offense won jersey scrimmage), why would it be at tam?

* We In, Out: the defense gives up at least two + 20 yd runs, with missed tackles and busted run fits

* We in/ we out Riley Leonard’s QBR will be greater than Wiegman’s.

* We in we out/ Anthonie Knapp will hold his own against Nic Scourton and end up a freshman all-American.

* In/Out: The Leonard/Mike Elko saga will be brought up more than “You Suck!” from Leonard’s mom?

* In/Out: I win my 20 leg parlay that I put 20 bucks on and win 10,000.

* In/Out: Jeremiah Love catches a receiving touchdown against A&M.

* There will be 2 Texas A&M turnovers during this game.

* We in We out: A Qb not named Riley Leonard will start 2 games this season for the Irish.

* We in We out on Love being a finalist for the Doak Walker Award and being top 5 in the country in all purpose years.

* We in or We out: I’m hearing & reading from Texas A&M fans that they belive their Secondary will be a strength right out of the gate. But they also admit their lack of proven LB depth and they are worried about our TE’s. With Denbrock’s x&o abilities he will be able to exploit the middle of the field and in turn make A&M’s safeties cheat enough inside that it leaves their corners in no man’s land. Which will lead to a dynamic passing attack for Leonard and the new improved ND WR room.

* We in or We out: Christian Gray will have his moment like Benjamin Morrison did against Ohio St in 22! With 1 INT, 2 PBU & under 50 yards allowed against him.

* We in we out : Knapp will not give up a sack on Saturday.

* We In/We out – Notre Dame defense has more than 9, 3 and outs against Texas A&M.

Notre Dame and Texas A&M both have players that can take over this weekend’s game. Bryan dives into the Notre Dame players that can and must be that type of player, and the A&M players that Notre Dame needs to make sure don’t do that.
