Today's Rapid Fire topics include:
* Fill-in the blank...The word that describes your anticipation for Saturday’s Notre Dame – Navy game is BLANK.
* Jeremiyah Love’s only 100-yard rushing game was against Purdue. Jadarian Price is yet to have a 100-yard game, while Riley Leonard had back-to-back 100-yard games against Purdue and Miami. On a scale of 1 to 10...What’s your confidence that either Price or Love will hit the century mark before Leonard does it again this season?
* Rank these teams in the order of how bad their current situation is: Auburn, Florida State, Michigan, Oklahoma, USC
* Better Friday night watching...USC-Rutgers or Game One of the World Series between the Yankees and Dodgers?
* If you could only get your NFL takes and commentary from either Colin Cowherd or Kyle Brandt from the NFL Network, who would you choose?
* Fill-in the blank...The word that describes your anticipation for Sunday night’s Cowboys – 49ers game is BLANK.
* There’s a Russian AI company that is paying users $200,000 for the rights to use your face and voice on their robots forever. Would you do it?

Irish Breakdown answers subscriber "We In/We Out" questions, including:
* We In/We out on either Jaden Greathouse or Beaux Collins having a 100 yard receiving day before the end of the season.
* Yankees Beat the dodgers in 6 games for their 1st World Series victory in over 10 years. In or out?
* Drayk Bowen Will have 12+ tackles with 3 tackles for loss. In or out?
* In or Out: The Notre Dame defense will force 3 turnovers (2 fumbles and 1 interception)
* Notre Dame basketball will make the NCAA Tournament. In or out?
* We in or we out: Marcus Freeman’s handling of the OC position has been very good considering the high turnover in his first 3 seasons. Look at Venables and Oklahoma and compare.
* Freeman was smart to go with a veteran portal QB especially since he was bringing in a new OC. Sometimes going young at QB with a first year OC can lead to disaster. See Oklahoma again. In or out?
* We in or we out: Giving Kris Mitchell and Jayden Harrison a ton of snaps at this point doesn’t make much sense. They aren’t overly productive; go young and develop KK Smith and Micah Gilbert. I think they can match the current production.
* Chad Bowden’s recruiting at WR has simply not been good enough. It was the most glaring hole on the roster when he took over the recruiting operation in 22. If he does not sign a major WR class in 26, ND should consider replacing him. It sounds drastic, but you cannot win a championship with a lackluster WR room.
* Navy TEs average 14 yrds per reception. That doesn’t not happen Saturday. We in/ We out?
* More!
