Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...With the national championship game just days away, the word that best describes Notre Dame football is BLANK. We react to talk show host Rich Eisen, who's a Michigan alum, telling Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard he's cheering for Notre Dame against Ohio State. * We react to comments from former Irish coach Brian Kelly, who says he is pulling for Notre Dame to win the national champion and also says his comments about leaving Notre Dame for LSU to have a better chance to himself win a title have been misinterpreted by fans and media. * We hear comments from former ND quarterback Brady Quinn about how Kelly's comments after leaving Notre Dame impacted Quinn's NIL fundraising efforts. * The College Football Coaches Association is exploring a solution to curtail players faking injuries during games. One possibility they're looking at is requiring any injured player to miss the rest of the drive. A coach could use a timeout to get the player back in the game.

Should Colorado be worried? If Coach Prime got an NFL job, would it even be possible for him to wind up with the team that lands his son Shedeur? Or is this all a plot to drive YouTube numbers (for shows like ours; Coach Prime's numbers are great as-is) and give the morning debate shows something to talk about?   Miami coach Mario Cristobal finally explained the second half of the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Monday. Had he said in his postgame press conference what he said Monday, it probably would have kept Cam Ward's name from getting dragged for two weeks by people who don't understand how football works.   Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are returning to Penn State, which is going to run for a lot of yards next season.   Finally, we revisit Andy's 2024 season predictions from July to see just how badly he missed. Ari wasn't working at On3 yet, so he'll be spared this time. But all his 2025 predictions will be catalogued.   Watch us on YouTube instead! https://youtube.com/live/z9eLjhvyUO8 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari Wasserman Producer: River Bailey

Irish Breakdown discusses several Notre Dame football topics after the Orange Bowl win over Penn State in the College Football Playoff semifinals. Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * We hear from Riley Leonard what Marcus Freeman's halftime message to his team was when they were trailing 10-3 in the Orange Bowl * Freeman was asked on the field afterwards about how his team was able to overcome and win. We hear and discuss that comment. * Fill-in the blank…Jeremiyah Love saying “We want to play Ohio State” after beating Penn State is BLANK. * Which Irish win is bigger: Georgia or Penn State? * Fill-in the blank...It's BLANK that Penn State didn't have a wide receiver catch a pass against Notre Dame. * From the Champion's Lounge: To start the second quarter, Penn State settled for 3 on 4th and Goal at the 2, after Nick Singleton dropped a low pass in the open from Drew Allar on 3rd down. The four points were ultimately the difference in the game. Would Freeman have gone for it? Was the FG the right call at this point in the game? * Fill-in the blank…It's BLANK that James Franklin is now 1-15 against AP top 5 teams as head coach at Penn State.
