Irish Breakdown

Irish Breakdown discusses several Notre Dame football topics, starting with a listener question about whether Tobias Merriweather and Deion Colzie's receiver snap counts could change.

* Do you Buy or Sell Sam Hartman as Notre Dame’s best quarterback since Joe Montana?

* Fill-in the blank....It’s BLANK that when Jack Kiser spoke with the media after yesterday’s practice. He said starters sat in first class for their flight to and from Dublin while Marcus Freeman at in economy while Sam Hartman gave up his first class seat to Holden Staes on the flight home.

* Thoughts on a Notre Dame NIL initiative that was started by NBC Sports. 

* A bar in Green Bay, Wisconsin is going to pick up the tab on some NY Jets games this season. If you arrive 15 minutes early... open the bar tab and stay for the entire game that Aaron Rodgers starts for the Jets...they’re going to pick up your tab if the Jets lose. Who’s going to come out on top?

* AMC Theaters is partnering with ESPN to show 75 ACC football games and the NY Six bowls this season. Would you go watch a college football game in a movie theater?

There are some big games this weekend, but also some games that might not get as much fanfare that I'm intrigued by. Others are being talked about but might not be marquee, but we'll learn a lot about teams from them. I break them down in this portion of this week's run down.

Games discussed:

Notre Dame is just one game into the season, but there are things we can know with certainty about this team from what we saw against Navy and also saw from this team in camp. There are also things we still have to learn. In part two of this week's run down I look at what we know, and don't know, about the Notre Dame defense.
