Irish Breakdown takes an inside look at two plays that could impact Notre Dame football this season. The first is a running play that Texas A&M, Notre Dame's season opening opponent in 2024, offensive coordinator Collin Klein used at Kansas State last season. The second is a key touchdown run by Irish QB Riley Leonard had against Clemson when he played at Duke last year.

Rapid Fire topics include:

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Phil Steele Magazine has Notre Dame’s wide receivers ranked as the No. 10 unit in the country heading into this season.

* If you could have made one USC football player to play for Notre Dame what player would you pick? 

* A few Notre Dame game lines on Fan Duel right now:

+1.5 vs Texas A&M

-9.5 vs Louisville

-4.5 vs FSU

-3.5 vs USC

Which two of those are you most confident the Irish will cover? 

* Which polarizing team is under the most pressure to win a championship: The Yankees, the Lakers or the Cowboys?

* Monday was the 20th anniversary of the Derek Jeter catch at Yankee Stadium where he ranges behind third base and into foul territory to catch a pop-up and then falls into the stands. Do you Buy or Sell it as the most overrated play in baseball history?

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Under Armour has signed the Cavinder twins, Haley and Hanna, to a three-year brand ambassador partnership.

* The latest Tik Tok travel trend is airplane passengers sharing their stories of sitting silently and screen free for long hours at a time during their trips. That means no phones, no ipads, no music, no sleep....nothing. It’s known as “raw dogging” a flight. What’s the longest you could go on a flight with no form of entertainment?

Rapid Fire topics include:

* We did some wide receiver predictions last week. One of our listeners sent us a message saying we’re sleeping on Deion Colzie and KK Smith because we didn’t have them in any of our predictions. Where do we stand on that?

* Fill-in the blank...Notre Dame commit Noah Grubbs winning the accuracy challenge at the Under Armour Future 50 over the weekend is BLANK.

* Riley Leonard on has thoughts Notre Dame 2025 quarterback commit Deuce Knight.

* Most of college athletics is run by the NCAA, which has one president who runs the entire show. College football runs a little differently, because its championship is run by the College Football Playoff, which is separate from the NCAA. Buy or Sell that each college sport should have its own commissioner?

* Penn State has a season over/under win total of 9.5. We look at their schedule and predict their record.

* If you received a championship ring and it had an error on it would you send it back to get it fixed or just keep it?
