Wednesday is Mailbag Day on IB Nation Sports Talk. We answer listener/subscriber questions about Notre Dame football and more on today's show. Some of today's topics include:

* Would you want Notre Dame to play Penn State or someone else in a Shamrock Series game if they weren't playing Army this year?

* Will Notre Dame's running backs lead the nation in touchdowns this season?

* With Noah Grubbs, Deuce Knight and others at Notre Dame's Irish Invasion camp, could Notre Dame charge $10 admission for fans to watch?

* How different will the Notre Dame offense look this year?

* Will new offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock emphasize getting the ball to outside receivers more?

* Is there less margin for error for Ryan Day at Ohio State with Chip Kelly as his new offensive coordinator?

* Will Notre Dame run more fake punts with Australian James Rendell as the punter?

*If a quarterback and a wide receiver from the same team are both up for the Heisman Trophy, who wins?

*More!

There's more to discuss in Rapid Fire as well. See the list of topics below!

Rapid Fire topics include:

* Will Notre Dame recruit Deuce Knight be willing to sit behind CJ Carr for two years if he signs with the Irish?

* What's the No. 1 thing Irish head coach Marcus Freeman must improve this season?

* If Riley Leonard wins a Heisman and a national championship in his one season at Notre Dame, how should he be considered among Irish greats?

* Will three Notre Dame receivers combine for at least 2,000 yards this season?

* Carter Karels from GigEm247 joined Sean Stires Tuesday on the show to talk about Texas A&M. Karels predicts a 9-6 score when Notre Dame visits College Station on Aug. 31 for the 2024 season opener and also said the thing the Irish should be most concerned with is A&M's defensive line.

* So first, it would be BLANK if it is a 9-6 game like Karels predicts.

* Who would a low scoring game like that favor more?

* Karels said A&M’s defensive line vs Notre Dame’s offensive line should be Notre Dame’s biggest concern. It would be BLANK if that’s A&M’s only real advantage.

* We talked a little yesterday about depth and the heat down there in College Station in late August. Would you Buy or Sell the idea of Notre Dame bringing in one of its guards to rotate for a series or two to try to counter some of that defensive line depth Karels talked about?

* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the NFL is going to implement optical tracking systems for yardage rulings during preseason games...and if it goes well they will carry it over into the regular season.

* Which kickoff time do you prefer for a college football game: Noon or prime time?

* Our top-4 favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.
