Podcast: E43: Burning Questions as Notre Dame Prepares for the Fiesta Bowl Answered
Greg and I got together to podcast and a Q&A session broke out thanks to our wonderful listeners. We dove into a number of questions regarding the Fiesta Bowl and Notre Dame’s quest to end the major bowl drought.
- Injuries at RT and CB and their potential impact on the game
- What to expect from Blake Fisher in his first game back
- How big of a game is this for Notre Dame and what is on the line beyond just a 12th win in 2021
- Will Tommy Rees unleash some chaos on the game without Brian Kelly around to meddle in the offense?
- How much will we see Tyler Buchner
- Who could return at WR and how that will impact numbers in 2022
- How will the carries be split at RB with Kyren Williams out and will he be missed most as a blocker?
- How big of a loss is Jim Knowles for Oklahoma State and is his loss bigger than that of Brian Kelly’s for this game?
- Gameday snacks and beverages of choice for Frank & Greg
- How bad has the safety recruited been the last decade?

Very good Music Bowl….a big loud crowd, teams are into it, lots of big plays…and an ACTUAL Irish QB having a good day!
Game coming down to the wire.
…being offset by excessive, pointless replays; ESPN goobers pretty much in the tank for Tennessee; and players faking injuries to slow down the offense.
