The Notre Dame vs Navy season opener is almost here and Irish Breakdown breaks out the white board to take a look at some of the Xs and Os of the matchup. How will the Irish defense defend Navy's triple option? What difference will the added passing game brought over by former Kennesaw State offensive coordinator Grant Chestnut make? How will the Irish offense fair against Navy's defense and how can they negate the "Striker" position, which had a big impact on last year's narrow Irish victory? 

We have much more to discuss in Rapid Fire as well. See the list of topics below.

Rapid Fire starts with thoughts on how center Zeke Correll's availability will affect the game. 

Other topics include:

* Marcus Freeman lays out the timeline for tight end Eli Raridon's return from last year's ACL tear. 

* How will you define a successful Notre Dame season?

* Thoughts on longtime college football writer Pat Forde saying Freeman many have been too nice in his first season as head coach. 

* Stanford, Cal and SMU are reportedly being seriously considered for ACC membership. What does it mean for Notre Dame?

* Besides quarterback, which position will improve the most for the Irish this season?

* How would you feel if Notre Dame doesn't cover its 20.5 point spread against Navy?

* The Irish still have a season over/under win total of 8.5 in Vegas. What would it mean if they don't go over?

* How into the Little League World Series are you?
