Irish Breakdown answers subscriber submitted We In/We out questions about Fighting Irish football. Some of today's questions include:
* We In/We Out: Riley Leonard has more passing touchdowns than rushing touchdowns in total for the next 3 games.
* Jadarian Price bounces back in a big way after his fumble/benching against Louisville.
* A frigid sub-32 degrees game day is preferable to a sweltering 90 degrees game day. We in or we out??
* The most difficult part about maintaining success in modern college football is player focus and culture (as evidenced by whatever FSU is doing). We in or we out??
* Kenny Minchey sees the field for at least two more games this year, and Carr sees the field at least one more time this year. We in or we out?
* We in/ We out: Guerby Lambert gets playing time going forward and looks good enough to work himself in to the starting lineup.
* We in/We out: Mitchell Evans rebounds in the remaining games and goes from currently 10 catches to 30 , from 82 Yards to 320 and from 0 TD to 5.
* We In/We Out: Jeremiyah Love is currently averaging just over 11 carries a game. That goes up over the remaining games to an average of 18 per game.
* If Al Washington’s recruiting could match the work he’s done to get guys like Junior Tuihalamaka, Loghan Thomas, and Bryce Young ready to play meaningful snaps this year, then he would be a top 5 DL coach in the country. We in or we out.
* We In / We Out: The two most difficult remaining games are the two service academies due to style of play and location of the games.
* We in/out: Jordan Clark is the biggest positive surprise off season transfer! Oben is the most disappointing offseason transfer!

Notre Dame needs several offensive players to step up and dominate against Stanford, and it begins with the offensive line. But quarterback Riley Leonard and the pass catchers also need to step up.

The Notre Dame offense has struggled for much of the 2024 season, but Stanford presents the Irish with a unique opportunity. For the run game it is facing a really quality unit, which gives the Irish a chance to show their skills. In the pass game it’s about facing a weak secondary, one that should allow the offense to flourish. Bryan and Trevor go over ways the pass game can and must improve, and what it needs to see against Stanford.
