Irish Breakdown has plenty of Notre Dame and other football topics heading into Saturday's game against Louisville. Topics include:
*Thoughts on the play of nose guard Howard Cross III
*Notre Dame will be facing its third straight ranked and unbeaten team this week and likely a fourth next week as well.
*How much will the Irish miss Jordan Botelho when he's suspended for the first half of this week's game after last week's targeting penalty against Duke?
*Is the criticism of Kirk Herbstreit for his call of last week's Notre Dame game fair or foul?
*Thoughts on the reported Urban Meyer flirtation with Michigan State.
*Fill-in the blank: It’s BLANK that Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark will reportedly not be at the Texas-Oklahoma Red River game this weekend but SEC commissioner Greg Sankey will be there.  
*Notre Dame-Louisville game props.
