Today's Rapid Fire topics include:
* We react to comments from Marcus Freeman that CJ Carr and Kenny Minchey have been splitting scout team reps.
* We have comments from Freeman on freshman defensive end Bryce Young and discuss our confidence in the strong side defensive end position if Josh Burnham is out this week. 
* Which side of the ball do you expect the best performance from this week: Offense or Defense?
* Notre Dame and Purdue played every year from 1946-2014. Do you miss the yearly rivalry?
* Which team do you feel more differently about now compared to two weeks ago: Florida State, USC or Notre Dame?
* Is Northern Illinois more likely to run the table this season or lose four games like Marshall did two years ago?
* Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State are going to join Oregon State and Washington State in the Pac-12 beginning in the 2026-27 academic year. What do you think of the move? 
* Was Texas A&M a better win or was Northern Illinois a worse loss?
