IB Countdown To Kickoff - Notre Dame vs Central Michigan

Notre Dame and Central Michigan go head to head on Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium in Notre Dame's second home game of the season and Irish Breakdown has the preview.

We start with the significance of last week's win over NC State and ND's 29-game ACC regular season winning streak, Sam Hartman's 2-minute drill prowess and Marcus Freeman's growth as a head coach in a short amount of time. We then turn to the first ever meeting with Jim McElwain's Central Michigan Chippewas and discuss what Notre Dame's plan at linebacker will be without captain JD Bertrand. We take a whiteboard look at what Notre Dame's offensive plan could look like and when some of the reserves could see the field.

There's more to discuss in Rapid Fire as well. See the list of topics below.

Rapid Fire topics include:

* Buy or sell Sam Hartman as a Heisman Trophy candidate right now?

* Would Notre Dame be left out of the College Football Playoff if they go undefeated?

* Fill-in the blank...NC State’s home field advantage last week was BLANK.

* If we only talk about one coach the rest of the season that’s not currently at Notre Dame, should it be: Brian Kelly, Deion Sanders, Jim Harbaugh, or Tommy Rees?

* Notre Dame game props and player props for their Central Michigan game.
