Notre Dame Spring Football Midweek Mailbag

With Notre Dame's Blue-Gold Game just three days away, we answer plenty of listener and subscriber questions on today's show. Topics include:

* A Blue-Gold Game attendance prediction.

* A prediction on Notre Dame's passing yards per game this season.

* What could Gi'Bran Payne's playing time look like this season?

* Clarence Lewis and Ryan Barnes to safety? Lorenzo Styles to cornerback?

* Who will be Notre Dame's starting receivers and linebackers this season?

* Much more.

We have more in Rapid Fire. The full list of topics is below.

We begin Rapid Fire by discussing adjectives that have been applied to Irish receivers Chris Tyree and Braylon James this spring. Other topics include:

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that incoming Irish freshman running back Jeremiyah Love ran a 10.54 in the 100 meters last weekend.

* Do you Buy or Sell the NFL should hold its draft in the city that has the first pick every year. But if they trade the pick it would still be in that initial city?

* Fill-in the blank...Jalen Hurts became the highest paid player in NFL history this week and it’s BLANK that his agent Nicole Lynn landed Hurts as a client by initially sending him an Instagram DM.

* Golden State forward Draymond Green has been suspended a game in the playoffs for stomping on Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis after Sabonis grabbed his leg. Is it fair or foul that Sabonis isn’t also suspended?

* Major League baseball is being praised for all of its rules changes this season and they’re going to test a few more in the Atlantic League this summer...

One is a designated pinch runner rule that allows a player who is not in the starting lineup to be used at any point of the game as a substitute baserunner. The player who was subbed out, as well as the pinch runner, would still be able to return to the game.

The “double-hook” designated hitter rule allows teams to use the DH throughout the game as long as the starting pitcher throws at least five innings. If that doesn’t occur, the team loses its DH and the pitcher’s spot would bat for the remainder of the game.

There’s also a single disengagement rule, which means pitchers can only take their foot off the rubber once per at-bat to attempt a pickoff or reset the pitch clock.
