How does friction affect the rotational inertia and angular velocity of a hollow cylinder rolling down an inclined plane? Assuming the cylinder isn't slipping

Why do you think friction would affect the rotational inertia of an object?
Friction does exert a torque on the cylinder and thus produces a rotational acceleration.
