Today's Rapid Fire topics include: USC athletic director Jen Cohen issued a long statement on Friday regarding the football program's non-conference scheduling going forward. She referenced - but never mentioned Notre Dame - in the statement. We discuss what it could mean for the future of the ND-USC series. We have thoughts on Irish linebacker Drayk Bowen saying the team has a chip on its shoulder because of the sentiment that the Irish don't deserve their current CFP ranking, what kind of day will Jeremiyah Love have against the Pittsburgh defense, how many sacks will the Irish have on Pitt QB Mason Heintschell, predictions on the ND-Pitt game and other top ranked matchups this weekend, and thoughts on Gus Johnson's call of the deciding touchdown in last week's Indiana - Penn State game.
