Today's Rapid Fire topics include:
* Fill-in the blank...Colin Cowherd threw gas on the fire by saying this over the weekend: “don’t be surprised if a very, very well-known college quarterback transfers to Notre Dame.” That led some national recruiting guys like Steve Wiltfong to report that Notre Dame has no plans to add another transfer portal quarterback this offseason. All of this is BLANK.
* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Charles Jagusah practiced at right guard when we were able to watch the first 30 minutes of Notre Dame’s final on-campus practice before the bowl Saturday morning.
* We hear Irish linebacker Drayk Bowen's thoughts on the lessons learned from giving up two late touchdowns in Notre Dame's first round playoff win over Indiana.
* We react to comments from defensive coordinator Al Golden on if Marcus Freeman ever checks with him before calling a fake punt.
* Comments from special teams coordinator Marty Biagi on his "swinging gate" play that forced Indiana to burn a timeout.
* Cam Ward threw three touchdown passes in the first half of Miami’s Pop Tarts Bowl loss to Iowa State and then took himself out of the second half after becoming the Division One all-time touchdown pass leader. A lot of people have a lot of feelings about this. We share our thoughts on how Miami and Ward handled the situation?
* Buy or Sell the Pop Tarts Bowl being in the College Football Playoff rotation?
* Fill-in the blank...Your biggest takeaway from Notre Dame women’s basketball’s 95-54 win over Virginia Sunday is BLANK.
