Notre Dame Football Midweek Mailbag - Penn State Edition

Irish Breakdown

Wednesday means Irish Breakdown is answering listener questions about Notre Dame football on today's show. IB has plenty to talk about on the eve of ND's College Football Playoff Orange Bowl semifinal matchup with Penn State. Some of today's topics include:

* We start with Marcus Freeman's update on running back Jeremiyah Love's health status for Thursday's game.

* How important is Notre Dame losing a day of recovery after the Sugar Bowl delay last week?

* Will Penn State head coach James Franklin's Wednesday press conference comments make the Irish play more intensely?

* Thoughts on Jim Harbaugh and John Harbaugh.

* Should we be worried about Thursday's game against Penn State or is it overthinking it?

* Thoughts on the national narrative that Notre Dame can't win if Riley Leonard doesn't pass more effectively.

* If Anthonie Knapp struggles at left tackle will Charles Jagusah play?

* Thoughts on Freeman wanting the Irish to play with "violent intent".

* Will Notre Dame have at least one special teams trick up its sleeve in the Sugar Bowl?

* Have our expectations changed since the Irish won their first two playoff games?

* Rank the four remaining College Football Playoff quarterbacks.

* More!
