Irish Breakdown answers a few subscriber submitted "We In/We Out" questions. Some of them include: * With the depth issues on D, the O should focus more on ball control to shorten the game and lower the number of snaps the D players need to be on the field. Our 2.5 cornerbacks don't need to be chasing guys for 70+ snaps. We in or we out? * The NCAA closing the 12 men on the field loophole less than a week after the Ohio state game is both impressive and hilarious. We in or we out. * Injuries on the defensive side of the ball late in the second or fourth quarter, authentic or factitious, generally are a negative for the offensive side. A penalty on the player for falsifying an injury is untenable: Officials cannot determine whether the player is faking an injury or is truly injured. Rather than imposing a 10-second runoff in the absence of a time-out, which unfairly penalized the truly injured player's team, a better solution might be adding 10 seconds to the clock. IN or OUT? * How many years will Marcus Freeman age after this season? Has to be taking its toll he looks like hell in the pressers. * Notre Dame manages to get through the rest of the season without losing another starter to injury… We In or We Out? * Riley Leonard has his first 300 yard passing game with the Irish this weekend… We In or We Out? * Leonard Moore gets his first INT of many in his ND career this weekend… We In or We Out? * In or Out: There will be more than 1 top 10 team that will lose this weekend? * WI/WO vs GT: -Defensive line gets 4 sacks -Leonard has another 3 TD passing game -Jaden Greathouse has 5+ catches -Leonard Moore gets picked on early and makes them pay with his first interception.
