IB Nation Sports Talk: Notre Dame's Stretch Drive Offense, Pitt's Irish Flavor

In this story:
Irish Breakdown takes a look at the Notre Dame offense coming out of the bye week and into the stretch drive of the final four games of the season. We look at the tendencies they showed against Louisville and compare them to what they did against USC. We also discuss former Irish players Phil Jurkovec, C'Bo Flemister and Shayne Simon, who return to Notre Dame with Pittsburgh this weekend.
There's more to discuss in Rapid Fire. See the list of topics below.
Rapid Fire topics include:
* Fill-in the blank: Notre Dame is a BLANK team with four games to go this season.
* Thoughts on Rico Flores Jr. passing Tobias Merriweather on the depth chart.
* Fill-in the blank: t’s BLANK that during is press conference this week Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi was asked about penalties being called both ways and decided to reference what he thought was a missed pass interference call the last time his team visited Notre Dame five years ago.
* Do you Buy or Sell Michigan’s sign stealing scandal as a big deal?
* Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho says Caleb Williams should consider sitting out the rest of the season to protect his draft stock. Do we Buy or Sell it?
* Alex Rodriguez says he’s upset that the Yankees didn’t retire his number 13 and allowed Joey Gallo to use it when Gallo played for the Yankees in 2021. A-Rod says his comments about the Yankees as a TV analyst likely kept it from happening. Do you Buy or Sell it?
* The social media platform formerly known as Twitter may start charging users $1 a year to post on the platform. Would you pay it?
