IB Nation Sports Talk: The Notre Dame Quarterback Competition

Irish Breakdown talks about the top Notre Dame football storyline heading into Saturday's Blue-Gold spring game

Who will be Notre Dame's starting quarterback in 2023? Irish head coach Marcus Freeman was asked that question this weekend. We let you hear his answer and have plenty of conversation on Sam Hartman and Tyler Buchner's battle for the job on today's show.  We also discuss a narrative that Hartman has struggled this spring and hear more comments from Freeman on Irish wide receivers and the progression of the offense. 

We have more topics in Rapid Fire. See the full list of topics below. 

We start Rapid Fire with Freeman's explanation of receiver Lorenzo Styles experimenting with playing cornerback this spring. Freeman also said it was his idea for Styles to give defense a try. Does that make us feel any differently about the move? Other topics include:

* How does Kaleb Smith's retirement make us feel about the remaining Irish receivers?

* Notre Dame women’s basketball added 3-point shooting Fordham grad transfer guard Anna DeWolfe today. Meanwhile, Ven-Allen Lubin from the Irish men’s team announced he’s entering the transfer portal. Is it a bigger gain for the women or a bigger loss for the men?

* Some controversy in Chicago Cubs Cody Bellinger returning to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers this weekend. 

* How the Ted Lasso character "Zava" compares to Aaron Rodgers.

* Today is National "Blah Blah Blah Day"...A day to encourage people to listen to those nagging words from your loved ones or friends and to action them. What sports figure most needs to listen up and pay attention to the advice they’re being given?

* We also have a hypothetical question from a listener: Would you rather go 11-1 and lose a New Year's Six bowl with Sam Hartman as the starting QB or go 10-2 and win a lower tier bowl with Tyler Buchner as the starter?
