Bryan and Vince discuss all twelve offenses on Notre Dame's schedule heading into the 2024 season. They rank them 1-12 and then dive into the top five teams more specifically.

The guys discuss that as well.

Today's Rapid Fire topics include:

* We hear comments from Notre Dame wide receiver Jordan Faison from his appearance on the Varsity House Podcast with former Irish cornerback Shaun Crawford. Faison discusses his learning process as a freshman walk-on lacrosse player playing wide receiver in last year’s fall training camp, facing Notre Dame cornerbacks in practice and if Fighting Irish lacrosse players challenged him at practice kind of like Caitlin Clark has been challenged by WNBA veterans as she entered the league this season.

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Riley Leonard and Jordan Faison both said Jaden Mickey would be the Notre Dame player to give himself a 99 rating in CFB 25.

* Fill-in the blank...Sam Hartman Tweeted a screen shot of him playing himself playing the new College Football 25 and it’s BLANK that he was playing as Wake Forest.

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Riley Leonard says the last song he listens to before a game is Amazing Grace. 

* The MLB All-Star Game is tonight. Do you Buy or Sell players going back to wearing their regular uniforms during the All-Star game rather than matching All-Star uniforms?

* Had you ever heard of Ingred Andress before she sang the national anthem at the MLB home run derby Monday night?
