IB Nation Sports Talk: Notre Dame Football We In Or We Out

Irish Breakdown

Some of today's We In/We Out questions include:

* Marcus Freeman gives up the offensive reins to Mike Denbrock completely, therefore: CJ Carr is made the No. 2 QB and Carr starts & wins at least 2 games due to minor injuries to Riley Leonard. We in or we out?

* The 2024 national champion will come from one of the 8 teams without a first round bye. We in or We out?

* We in/we out:

(1) Leonard will have a better statistical year this season under Denbrock than Jayden Daniels had in 2022 in his first season at LSU?

(2) Leonard will have a better season running the football than Daniels had in 2022?

(3) Leonard will have a better overall year (any way YOU choose to measure it) than Daniels did in 2022? To clarify, you can choose the criteria. It include W/L record, subjective evaluation, the offense’s performance overall, or any other factors or criteria you decide is most important.
