* Is Irish offensive lineman Guerby Lambert out for the season?
* Will ESPN's College Game Day be at the Notre Dame - USC game if it looks like it will be the last game between the two rivals?

* Do the Irish have a field goal kicker?
* Should Notre Dame pursue more dual kicker/punters considering new roster limits?

There's even more to discuss and debate in Rapid Fire as well. See the list of topics below!
* Notre Dame and Arkansas will kickoff at Noon Eastern Time when the Irish visit the Razorbacks on Sept. 27th. Are you In or Out on the early start?

* Fill-in the blank: Notre Dame greats Todd Lyght and Manti Te'o are on the 2026 College Football Hall of Fame ballot and it's BLANK that Lyght is not already in the Hall.
* Is there any reason Te'o shouldn't be inducted this year?
* Fill-in the blank: It's BLANK that former Notre Dame women's basketball teammates Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles are among 21 players competing to make the Team USA roster for the FIBA AmeriCup Team.
* Fill-in the blank: Notre Dame men's basketball hosting DePaul in an exhibition game in September is BLANK.
* Major rule changes are on the way for both men's and women's college basketball this upcoming season. Both men's and women's coaches will now be able to challenge calls.

In the men's game, coaches will now be able to challenge: Reviewing 'out-of-bounds calls, basket interference/goaltending and whether a secondary defender was in the restricted-area arc.'
Teams will need to use a timeout to challenge and if the challenge is successful, they'll be allowed one additional review for the rest of the game, including overtime.
The NCAA says the changes in men's basketball aim to 'enhance the flow of the game.'
-Do you Buy or Sell it?
* In the women's game: Coaches will be issued a challenge, but their rules are different.
Coaches will be able to challenge 'ruled out-of-bounds violations, ruled backcourt violations, whether a change in team possession occurred before the ruling of a foul where free throws would be involved, and whether a foul was assessed to the correct player.

But for the women, teams will not need to have a timeout to challenge. But instead, if you lose your challenge it will result in a technical foul for 'an excessive timeout.'
-Do you Buy or Sell that?
* Oakland A's centerfielder Denzel Clarke went up over the wall on a Statcast-projected 398-foot drive hit by Anaheim's Nolan Schanuel to rob him of a home run. Do you Buy or Sell that catch as more impressive than Derek Jeter's more famous running catch when he fell into the stands at Yankee Stadium?
