Irish Breakdown brings out the whiteboard to take a look at the Notre Dame defense's success against Duke as well as a closer look at the play of Howard Cross III and Marist Liufau in that game. We have some thoughts on what it will take to shut down Louisville's offense this weekend as well. Before that, we check out the video from Fighting Irish Media that highlights Notre Dame's comeback against the Blue Devils.

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

Rapid Fire topics include:

* Fill-in the blank: It’s BLANK that Fox’s Joel Klatt says ND’s win over Duke was all guts.

* ABC went to the Riley Leonard’s mom in the crowd shots at the end of the fist half during their broadcast the other night. We have thoughts on that.
