Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Notre Dame will add one of the most experienced quarterbacks in all of college football to its offense in 2023 in Sam Hartman. They return an experienced and improving offensive line, a stable of excellent running backs and an improving group of wide receivers on offense as well as a ton of experience defensively. Irish Breakdown discusses what it could all mean for the Irish next season.

We also discuss Monday's announcement that former Notre Dame All-American linebacker Michael Stonebreaker will join the likes of Tim Tebow and Reggie Bush in the College Football Hall of Fame.

We have plenty more topics in Rapid Fire. See below for the rundown.
