They discuss the outstanding pitching outings of Andrew Johnson, Caden Aoki and Brodie Purcell as well as the offensive prowess of the Trojans' catchers. Shotgun and Kasey also look at how USC has been getting contributions from up and down the roster. The podcasters also try to find three negatives from the impressive weekend. They land on one conclusive one and stretch to find two others. After a break, USC junior college transfer Richard Tejeda joins the show to talk about his baseball journey going from the junior college ranks to being the primary backstop for a Big Ten-contending Trojan squad, including how he dealt with a big slump to start his Division I career and what adjustments he's made to be hitting .417 over his last nine games. Tejeda also discusses his connection with the pitching staff and starters Caden Hunter and Caden Aoki and what it was like catching Aoki as he came close to throwing a no-hitter Saturday. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans stand after winning another Big Ten series, improving their RPI to No. 38.

The guys will also talk about the different feel of spring practice this year, with increased buzz thanks to the new personnel staff inviting tons of top prospects from Southern California and all over the country.

Andy Stankiewicz on where USC baseball stands heading into final month
The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's 3-1 week that featured a series win over Gonzaga and a dominant midweek win over Long Beach State. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action, looking at the positives of the Trojans improving to 26-14 with an 11-7 mark in Big Ten play and a fourth-place spot in the standings behind only two ranked teams and Iowa. They discuss the play of Adrian Lopez powering the offense all weekend against the Zags as well as Ethan Hedges seeming to get back on track after a rough spell. Shotgun and Kasey also look at how the Trojans were able to bounce back after dropping the opener against Gonzaga with some uncharacteristically sloppy play thanks to the bullpen stepping up throughout the week. The podcasters also look at three negatives, including Kevin Takeuchi reinjuring his left shoulder during Tuesday's win at Long Beach and the RPI hit that one poor game can have as the Trojans start looking toward the postseason. After a break, USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz then joins the show to talk about how the Big Ten schedule, including the back-and-forth travel, has treated his team and how his players have handled and adjusted to the differences and challenges. He also discusses how the Trojans have tried to deal with a spate of injuries with multiple pitchers lost for the season as well as Takeuchi's shoulder issues. Stankiewicz then takes the listener through some strategic thought processes of how he tries to use late-inning opportunities in blowout games as well as how he handles his star players being in a funk, especially later in the season. The Trojan head man chats about Hedges, Lopez, Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek, Caden Hunter, Andrew Johnson, Jack Basseer and others. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans stand after winning another series and taking a peek at where the Trojans could wind up in the postseason. The podcast then previews USC's upcoming week of action with the Trojans heading to Minneapolis to take on an injury-riddled Minnesota team that continues to battle despite 11 significant injuries, including five of the season-ending variety.

Final week of spring ball plus Trojans add a Big Ten linebacker from the portal
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the addition of former Penn State linebacker Te'Mere Robinson from the NCAA Transfer Portal. The 6-foot-3, 223-pound Robinson gives the Trojans' linebacker room some much needed depth. Robinson didn't play much on defense in his two years with the Nittany Lions (107 total defensive snaps), but he was having a solid spring camp in Happy Valley prior to entering the portal. USC also lost another player to the portal, redshirt freshman Jarvis Boatwright out of Clearwater, Florida did not see any action in 2024 and will now try his luck at another program for 2025. The guys also discuss all of the news and notes from spring practice including what Lincoln Riley had to say about the starting quarterback situation, the depth at defensive line and wide receiver and Trojan legend Troy Polamalu showing up at practice this week.

Trojans win series at Penn State; Adam Thackery joins the show
The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's 3-2 week that featured a midweek win over Loyola Marymount and another Big Ten road series win for the Trojans before USC dropped a midweek against Hawai'i that they couldn't close out with the lead. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action, looking at the positives of the Trojans improving to 23-13 with an 11-7 mark in Big Ten play, bumping up to fourth in the standings behind only two ranked teams and Iowa. They discuss the play of the Cadens (Hunter and Aoki) at the front of the weekend pitching rotation as well as Big Ten Player of the Week Abbrie Covarrubias and the bounce backs of a couple of players, who were unfazed by a poor performance early in the weekend. The podcasters also look at three negatives, including the continued black hole that is USC's Sunday starting pitching role and not being able to close out a couple of winnable games because of mistakes and free bases. USC director of baseball performance Adam Thackery then joins the show to talk about his transition from football strength and conditioning at USC to working with the Trojan baseballers. He talks about what he thinks it takes to win a national championship having been the strength coach for the 2021 national champion Mississippi State Bulldogs, gives his favorite Mike Leach story and discusses the intricacies of training two completely separate groups with pitchers (and the differences between starters and relievers) and hitters. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at where the Trojans stand after winning another conference series and take a peek at where the Trojans could wind up in the postseason. The podcast then previews USC's upcoming week of action with the Trojans hosting a surging Gonzaga team that has won 15 of 18 in a Thursday-Friday-Saturday Easter weekend series before having a midweek matchup with Long Beach State.

How active will USC be as the spring NCAA Transfer Portal opens
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the highly anticipated opening of the spring NCAA Transfer Portal Window and how active will the Trojans be? Head coach Lincoln Riley has said USC would do their portal evaluations and add the "right couple of guys" to help them get ready for the season. With the House settlement potentially passing, allowing athletic departments to share revenue with student athletes, will that make this spring portal a Portal Palooza or more of a Portal Passivity? All eyes will be on the quarterback position, where following the season many thought the Trojans would be in the market for a signal caller. It still isn't out of the question that USC brings in a QB, but it just doesn't seem very likely at this point. We have heard the Trojans aren't interested in former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava , but with Tennessee now scouring the country for Nico's replacement, that could cause a domino effect that opens up a potential quarterback poaching opportunity for Lincoln Riley . The guys also discuss all of the news and notes from spring practice including tight end Lake McRee shutting it down for the rest of spring due to an undisclosed injury and redshirt freshman defensive end Lorenzo Cowan entering the portal.

Coach Harvey Hyde assessing USC's quarterback situation following the Nico Iamaleava fiasco
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together taking a detailed look at USC's quarterback situation and the potential national QB shakeup with Nico Iamaleava and Tennessee parting ways. The Trojans are in good shape with returning starter Jayden Maiava , five-star freshman Husan Longstreet and former five-star prospect Sam Huard occupying Luke Huard's quarterback meetings, but should head coach Lincoln Riley look to get in on Iamaleava ? Coach Hyde and Ryan give their thoughts on the entire QB picture for USC and what this stunning NIL development means for the future of college football. Coach Hyde also discusses who he feels is the current face of the Trojan football program, what areas he feels this team has improved on this off-season, if the offensive philosophy has or should change going forward, how tough will the Big Ten be in 2025 and why is spring football such a big secret all of a sudden.

Midseason All-American Ethan Hedges joins after Trojans rally to sweep Ohio State
The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's 4-0 week that featured a midweek win over San Diego State and the Trojans' first Big Ten series sweep after they rallied late in back-to-back games to finish off Ohio State. That included being down to their final out Sunday before Brayden Dowd hit a game-tying home run, and USC won on a Dean Carpentier walk-off. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action, looking at the positives of the Trojans improving to 20-11 with a 9-6 mark in the Big Ten with their comeback ability and the clutch gene of Dowd. The podcasters also look at three negatives on each side, including the continued black hole that is USC's Sunday starting pitching role. USC two-way star Ethan Hedges then joins the show to talk about his transition to being on the mound this season after being exclusively a hitter his first two seasons with the Trojans. He discusses how he's been able to unlock his power potential, hitting 11 home runs already this season after having just four combined in his first two seasons. Hedges also chats about the 'one-more-run' mentality the Trojans have this season and how that's helped them come from behind in multiple games this season. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at where the Trojans stand after winning another conference series, including multiple players ranking amongst the Big Ten and national leaders. The podcast then previews USC's upcoming week of action, beginning with a midweek matchup at their home away from home as the Trojans will be the road team against Loyola Marymount at Page Stadium where USC has been playing its midweek 'home' games.

Peristyle Podcast - Coach Harvey Hyde on what he wants to see the USC football team accomplish this spring
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the highly anticipated start to spring football 2025, where head coach Lincoln Riley and the Trojans have 15 practices to acclimate the new players and coaches in preparation for the upcoming season. As a former division one head football coach, Hyde talks about what he would like to see this team get done in the spring in order to get the program going in the right direction, competing for conference championships and a spot in the College Football Playoffs. USC lost a lot of close games last season, including five where the Trojans had a fourth quarter lead. Coach Hyde talks about what he feels this team needs to do in order to be prepared for the end of game scenarios, turning those close losses into victories (and ensuring the game isn't close against overmatched opponents). Coach Hyde also gives his thoughts on the new-look roster with some prominent names missing and some promising new faces roaming the sidelines. From a deep and talented running backs room to a bigger and more athletic defensive line, the guys discuss where they think this team will be better on the field and where they feel they still need to improve. He also talks about the traditional spring game being removed and what Riley had to say about the reasoning behind it. CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's advancement to the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season and the monumental cost that came with USC defeating Mississippi State, 96-59, in the Round of 32 matchup. Shotgun and Connor recall their immediate reactions of JuJu Watkins ' devastating knee injury and discuss the impact the injury will have not only on this year's NCAA tournament but also on the future of the Trojans' program. They also talk about the charged-up atmosphere inside the Galen Center and debate whether or not the home crowd took it too far in their booing and jeering of the Bulldogs. After a break, USC freshman point guard Kayleigh Heckel joins the show. She talks about the Trojans' bouncing back from the loss of their teammate to go out and pummel Mississippi State for the rest of the game as the Trojans outscored MSU 83-57 after Watkins went down to the floor in pain. Heckel discusses how the team dynamics change without Watkins' presence and discusses the freshman class she is a part of that will need to step up the rest of the way this postseason. She chats about the bond the freshman group has as well as her relationships with some of the older players, including Kiki Iriafen and Watkins, who helped recruit Heckel to USC. Shotgun and Connor then look at where the Women of Troy stand heading into a Sweet 16 matchup with No. 5-seed Kansas State and debate who needs to step up the most for the Trojans to continue their season.

Pitching coach Sean Allen, Friday starter Caden Hunter join the show
The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's strong week that featured a midweek win in a raucous environment at Arizona State and a Big Ten series win over Nebraska that ended up being a bit of a disappointment. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action, looking at the positives of the Trojans going 5-2 against all Power 4 opponents over a 10-day stretch and the impressive bounce back by freshman starter Grant Govel. The podcasters also look at three negatives on each side, including defensive struggles in center field leading to a pair of big innings and not being able to get a sweep despite vastly outplaying the Cornhuskers. USC pitching coach Sean Allen then joins the show to talk about his impressions of the Trojans' pitching staff as the season approaches the halfway point. Allen discusses how Caden Hunter and Caden Aoki have both been successful despite attacking things in two different manners and chats about his mound visit philosophy. After a break, Hunter, the Trojans' Friday starter, joins the show to discuss his recruitment to USC and why the program's challenges of being forced to practice off campus during current major stadium renovations and having to play away from their home field actually helped the Trojans land Hunter. The junior lefthander also breaks down his recent development of a cutter and how he's tried to implement it into his repertoire. Following Hunter's appearance, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at where exactly the Trojans stand after getting another conference series win. The podcast then previews USC's upcoming week of action, beginning with a midweek matchup against a ranked UC Irvine team before a weekend trip to Indiana to take on the Hoosiers.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and new podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's first Big Ten wins after the Trojans take series in Ann Arbor where they won handily, rallied for a one-run victory and then got run-ruled to drop the finale. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action, looking at the positives of the Trojans stopping their losing streak behind Adrian Lopez again coming up with a big hit while Brayden Dowd and Caden Hunter helped set the tone to the weekend. The podcasters also look at three negatives on each side, including the black hole that has becoming the Sunday starting pitcher role and the uncompetitive fight of USC on Sunday. After a break, sophomore outfielder Brayden Dowd joins the show to discuss his homecoming trip to Michigan, where his sister was a volleyball players and where he had a bevy of family and friends coming out to watch him play in his home state. He talks about how he expected to get away from the Midwest with his commitment to Trojans...only for USC to announce its intentions to move to the Big Ten a couple months after Dowd's commitment. Dowd is quick to heap praise on the rest of his sophomore class and also discusses how he's adapted his approach since moving into the leadoff spot in the lineup. Following Dowd's appearance, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at where exactly the Trojans stand after getting a road conference series win, including USC's record, conference mark, RPI and in the national rankings for key statistics. The podcast then previews USC's upcoming week of action, beginning with a stopover in Phoenix to take on familiar former Pac-12 rival, Arizona State, before a weekend set against a scuffling Nebraska team down in Irvine.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: USC baseball starts 2025 season with a bang; Andy Jenkins joins the show
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a much different start to the 2025 USC baseball season than last year's 0-5 start when the Trojans scored only seven runs. This year, USC wasted no time getting the offense going, scoring 10 runs in the opening frame of what would become a three-game weekend sweep of George Washington. After scoring 15 runs in the season opener, the Trojans put on a power display the final two days, pummeling five home runs -- more in the opening weekend than they had in any 2024 weekend. Long Beach State transfer Adrian Lopez got the power party started with a first-inning grand slam Saturday. But the weekend's most important home run came Sunday when Brayden Dowd hit a go-ahead three-run dinger after USC fell in an early 5-0 deficit. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming matchups during a five-game week after they talk with USC assistant coach Andy Jenkins about the Trojans’ strong opening weekend. Jenkins also talks about USC’s catching situation as the Trojans replace Jacob Galloway this season and the vibe from the team after a much different start to this year.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz previews another road warrior season for the Trojans in 2025
The Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, returns after a lengthy hiatus as the college baseball season approaches. Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith are back to break down the latest news and developments around the USC baseball program, including the continued rebuild of Dedeaux Field and the move to the Big Ten Conference, which means the Trojan road warriors will be playing even farther from home this season. The podcasting duo look at the different angles of a second season on the road and the move to the Big Ten Conference, where the Trojans have been picked anywhere from fourth to 11th in an unofficial poll of other Big Ten coaches. They also look at what USC needs to do to get over the hump to make a regional after being oh so close in each of the first two seasons under head coach Andy Stankiewicz. Shotgun and Jack also take a look back to the 2024 season to assess what went well, where the Trojans are set up for success in 2025 and where they'll have to make improvements with a roster that saw a lot of turnover. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz then joins the Dedeaux Download to talk about another season of unique challenges for the Trojans, but one that should come with a little more familiarity than last season when there were adjustments routinely being made on the fly as USC played at Great Park in Orange County and LMU's Page Stadium. Stankiewicz talks about how the program has to keep progressing forward rather than taking a step back, no matter what challenges they face. He also discusses building a non-conference schedule, the challenges the Big Ten move will present and the hire of experienced pitching coach Sean Allen, who will give the Trojans a little more familiarity when they enter Big Ten play and have to travel east to Michigan, Indiana, Penn State and Minnesota.

USC solidifies its defensive staff by extending D'Anton Lynn and hiring Rob Ryan
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about how the USC Trojan defensive staff has come together, with defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn sticking around and getting an extension after Penn State made a strong run at him and the hiring of new linebackers coach Rob Ryan , the longtime NFL defensive coordinator. With so many defensive improvements made in 2024, it was extremely important for head coach Lincoln Riley to keep that side of the ball going in the right direction. Losing Lynn, especially to a conference rival, would have been a major setback to the Trojans defensive revival. The guys also give their thoughts on the Ryan hire and how well they think he can replace Matt Entz , who moved on to become the head coach of Fresno State. USC did lose defensive assistant Taylor Mays to Washington and they discuss the significance of that loss. The portal activity has slowed down significantly with the latest news being defensive back DeCarlos Nicholson getting an extra year of eligibility, entering the portal and then withdrawing his name from the poral. They also discuss how the USC incoming freshmen performed at the Polynesian Bowl including co-offensive MVP Husan Longstreet and the potential issue on the NIL front where Title IX could require male and female athletes to be compensated similarly, which could take away a significant amount of revenue share resources earmarked for football players.

After discussing the last week in game action, USC women's basketball assistant coach Willnett Crockett joined the hosts to share more about her journey from Narbonne High School to UConn as a player. Crockett also offered her thoughts on what it's like to work with USC's post players and how special it is for her to coach a local program with such high expectations.

Breaking down the Trojans roster updates, coaching staff moves and GM search
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio to share their thoughts on how this Trojan football team has updated its roster and coaching staff in the early stages of preparation for the 2025 season. The big surprise came following USC's Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M, with offensive lineman Emmanuel Pregnon entering the NCAA Transfer Portal. Pregnon had previously committed to the Senior Bowl before changing his mind and deciding to come back to play for the Trojans again. But at the last minute, as the portal closed for USC players 6 days after the bowl game, Pregnon changed his mind once again and jumped in the portal. The Trojans did get some help on the offensive line with Syracuse interior offensive lineman J'Onre Reed picking USC as his landing spot. The 6-foot-3, 316 pounder that likes to be known as 'Big General,' started 25 games at center over the last two years for the Orange. With Zach Hanson moving from tight ends coach to offensive line coach, head coach Lincoln Riley brought in Chad Savage from Colorado State to coach the tight ends and outside receivers. Savage was known for his recruiting with the Rams, rated the top recruiter in the Mountain West Conference by 247Sports over his three seasons. The guys also talk about USC's continued plans to hire a general manager to help Riley manage this roster in this crazy world of NIL, revenue sharing and of course the NCAA Transfer Portal.

The No. 4 USC women's basketball team is 15-1 on the season and remains perfect in Big Ten after getting a hard-fought win when it seemed like everything was against them.

Shotgun and Connor look at all aspects of the top 10 victory, briefly discuss the Trojans' 50-point win at Rutgers and look at the USC men's back-to-back losses to Michigan and Indiana that played out in similar fashions with a short-handed Trojan squad fading down the stretch.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together giving their end of the season evaluation following the Trojans 49-35 loss to Notre Dame Saturday afternoon in the Coliseum. Coach Hyde is not happy with the way the season played out and really wants to see head coach Lincoln Riley do a detailed evaluation of his entire program this off-season, from his coaching philosophies to his staff, players and even how he interacts with boosters, the fans and the media. The guys start off talk about how this game played out, in similar fashion to the other losses the Trojans have endured in 2024. Coach Hyde wants to see more from this offense than throwing fade routes, a strategy that worked most of the game but then cost USC late with Notre Dame's game-sealing pick-6 in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. Coach says Riley is reluctant to run the football, thinks this team shouldn't be throwing it 50 times a game and when they do pass, he wants to see more variety by taking advantage of the middle of the field, something Riley avoided for most of the game against the Irish. Coach also wants to see improved line play, a lesson can be learned just from watching how Notre Dame dominated the trenches Saturday. On his season evaluation, Coach Hyde agrees with what some of the former players like Matt Leinart , Matt Barkley and Jake Olson have said on social media, this team doesn't have an identity and they should be better than they are in year three of a rebuild. Coach Hyde also feels like if the team continues to lose close games, that means it is more than just the players, it is the coaching. You can have bad fortune and lose game or two late, but not half of the schedule with most of the losses coming against lesser talented teams. Coach Hyde also talks about quarterback Miller Moss entering the transfer portal on Monday and what he would have liked to have seen for a better sendoff for the lifelong Trojan.

Tunnel Vision: Pair of pick-6s doom the Trojans comeback bid against No. 5 Notre Dame
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith , Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") are back for the final recap show of USC football's regular season, a 49-35 defeat at the hands of No. 5 Notre Dame. After playing an even first half, the Fighting Irish looked to be in control late in the game before the Trojans, down 7, had a first and 10 at the ND 21 with under 4 minutes on the clock with a chance to tie the game. Then Cornerback Christian Gray squashed the Trojans comeback dreams, snatching Jayden Maiava's pass out of the air before returning it 99-yards the other way. The guys talk about how this game was a microcosm of the Trojans entire season, with chances at success that ultimately ended in failure. USC played well enough to win in all three phases of the game, but couldn't bring it all together and make the plays to finish the game, a common theme throughout the season.

Triple-Double Podcast: USC basketball teams head to Acrisure Classic in Palm Springs
The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the latest action from the USC women's and men's basketball teams, including the Women of Troy being harassed from start to finish by a Notre Dame team that showed USC has a lot of work it needs to do to reach the big expectations and aspirations for this season. Shotgun and Connor also look back at USC men's 80-69 victory over Grambling State that was a struggle throughout until the Trojans closed strong, finishing the game on a 13-2 run to improve to 5-1. The podcasters look at where the men and women's programs stand after three weeks of action with plenty of concerns still needing to be addressed by both teams as they try to jell with so many new faces on both rosters. Shotgun and Connor also preview the upcoming weekend of action in the desert as both teams travel to Palm Springs to play in the Acrisure Classic tournament. The Women of Troy try to shake the blues and get back on track against a couple of blue teams in Seton Hall and Saint Louis. The Trojans bested Seton Hall last year around the same time of year when playing in a tournament in the Bahamas, but both of these teams have completely revamped their roster with nine new players. The men face their toughest non-conference matchups this season, taking on perennial West Coast Conference-contender Saint Mary's and either Arizona State or New Mexico, who are both off to strong starts this season. The podcast duo close out the show discussing what they are thankful for this year heading into the Thanksgiving holiday.

Coach Harvey Hyde on the Trojans victory over the Bruins in the Rose Bowl
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing the late Saturday night clash in the Rose Bowl between crosstown rivals USC and UCLA. The stakes for this game weren't as high as both programs would have hoped, but a chance to play in the postseason, the Victory Bell and of course Los Angeles bragging rights were still on the line for the Trojans and the Bruins. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on USC's 19-13 victory over UCLA, evaluating how quarterback Jayden Maiava performed and how the Trojan offense did overall against the Bruins defense. He also goes in-depth on the performance of D'Anton Lynn's defense, holding UCLA to just 13 points and denying all three 4th down conversion attempts for the Bruins. The now bowl eligible Trojans have one tough test remaining, a visit from No. 5 Notre Dame Saturday afternoon in the Coliseum. The guys talk about the opportunity for USC to match last year's regular season total of 7 wins and potentially knock the Fighting Irish out of the College Football Playoffs.

Tunnel Vision The Trojans secure the Victory Bell with a 19-13 win over UCLA
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith and Ryan Abraham are back from a late night in the Rose Bowl where they witnessed USC's first ever Big Ten road victory, taking down crosstown rival UCLA 19-13. It wasn't the prettiest game in recent memory, but head coach Lincoln Riley and the team will take the conference win regardless. The Trojans are now 6-5 and bowl eligible with an opportunity to knock Notre Dame out of a playoff berth next week in the Coliseum. This was a far from perfect performance by the Trojans, only scoring one touchdown while struggling in the red zone and allowing over 100 yards rushing to a UCLA squad that struggled to run the football this season. But USC did shutout the Bruins in the 4th quarter and closed out the game on a high note, outscoring UCLA 10-0 in that final period. New quarterback Jayden Maiava didn't turn the ball over and give the Bruins easy scores like he did last week against Nebraska, despite having a flu outbreak on team throughout the week leading up to the game. The guys talk about some of the issues they had with this game including some of the play calling, specifically in the red zone where USC kept throwing low percentage fade routes from inside the 5-yard line instead of just handing the ball off to the offensive MVP Woody Marks (Of the 9 plays the Trojans ran inside the UCLA 5-yard line, Marks only got one touch). Despite having no turnovers and amazing starting field position of USC's own 42 yard line, the Trojans could only put up 19 points, easily the worst offensive performance of the season. Luckily the other side of the ball may have played its best game, picking up three sacks on Ethan Garbers and only allowing 13 points while ending the game forcing two straight four-and-outs.

Tunnel Vision: Recapping USC's 28-20 win over Nebraska plus left tackle Elijah Paige joins the show
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Jack Smith are in studio recapping how the Trojans got an important 28-20 victory over Nebraska and the positive first start for UNLV transfer quarterback Jayden Maiava . After losing four of the last five games, the Trojans were able to get back on the right track and finished the game strong against the Cornhuskers. Now USC just needs one win over rival UCLA or Notre Dame to become bowl eligible and get an extra couple of weeks of practice to help prepare this team for next season. On the defensive side of the ball the Trojans really played well, allowing only 13 points to the Nebraska offense and only 10 points that were not the direct result of USC turnovers. Before the guys give their thoughts on the game, they welcome in the USC left tackle Elijah Paige who played one of his best games against Nebraska, helping Woody Marks run for 146 yards and allow Maiava to complete over 71% of his passes. The interview with Paige was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's much-needed win, the play of Jayden Maiava & huge QB flip
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together with the rare opportunity to talk about a big Trojan football victory, following USC's 28-20 win over Nebraska Saturday afternoon in the Coliseum. Both teams came into the game desperate to get a win, with the Huskers losing three-straight and the Trojans dropping four of the last five. The victory brings USC's record to 5-5 with a win over rival UCLA in the Rose Bowl or Notre Dame in the Coliseum necessary to qualify for a post season game. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on how USC played following the bye week and what he liked and didn't like from the offense after head coach Lincoln Riley inserted UNLV transfer Jayden Maiava as the starting quarterback. Maiava started off slow but then got things going, finishing with three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown, but also an ugly pick-6 and fumble deep in USC territory. Hyde talks about his arm strength and his ability to extend plays and pick up yardage with his legs, and how all of that helped Woody Marks and the run game get going. Defensively this USC defense did its job against a struggling Nebraska offense. The Trojans had five tackles for loss including two sacks and picked off a pair of Dylan Raiola passes including the final play of the game. Coach talks about what he saw from that side of the ball and how that can translate to the final two games of the season. CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!

The guys will try and focus on previewing this extremely important matchup with Nebraska, with both teams fighting desperately for the privilege of playing in a bowl game. The Huskers are riding a 3-game losing streak, the second-straight Big Ten opponent to have entered the Coliseum after losing three-straight, while the Trojans have dropped four of their last five games. They will also discuss the major offensive changes both programs made during the bye week, with USC benching Miller Moss in favor of Jayden Maiava at quarterback and Nebraska promoting newly hired offensive analyst Dana Holgorsen to offensive coordinator, calling plays for freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola . The early signing period is quickly approaching and the Trojans top-10 recruiting class for 2025 is already taking hits, most notably the de-commit of four-star edge rusher Hayden Lowe . The guys weigh in on this recruiting failure and where USC can go from here to help bolster the defensive line through high school recruiting.

Shotgun and Connor look at where the men and women's programs stand after the first week of play and preview the upcoming week that will see four games played at the Galen Center between the two programs. The Women of Troy welcome a CSUN squad that is one win away from tying its total from last season when it went 3-27 losing 26 games in a row. They then play a unique afternoon matinee matchup against Santa Clara on Friday. The USC men continue their battle with the state of Texas, facing off against another UT school in UT-Arlington on Wednesday before a strange-to-say ACC-Big Ten matchup against previously familiar foe, California, Sunday evening. However, the Golden Bears, like the Trojans, have a roster that is completely revamped from last season with transfers from all over the country, including Stanford, Vanderbilt, Michigan State, Grand Canyon and others.

Helium Boys Podcast: Playcalling woes in Washington, Jayden Maiava time and Shotgun invades Paris
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys are back to break down another disappointing USC loss, this time with a slightly different script but with all the familiar elements as the Trojans held a fourth-quarter lead on the road only to relinquish the lead and not be able to find the end zone for the game-winning score. They also look forward, giving their thoughts on what to expect following Lincoln Riley's decision to bench Miller Moss in favor of Jayden Maiava. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that features Shotgun discussing the anniversary of a classic Helium Boys road trip as well as the Women of Troy getting a gutsy season-opening victory in the Aflec Oui-Play event in Paris. Chris then takes the 'Two-Minute Drill' reins to tell an epic story of trying to find food after the conclusion of the USC-Washington game. Chris and Shotgun then dive into their Stock Up/Stock Down segment looking at the players and themes that saw their stock rise or dip this week. Zachariah Branch had one of his best games this season while young pass rushers Sam Greene and Kameryn Fountain continue to earn more opportunities. Maiava's stock is obviously on the rise as he takes over the reins of the USC offense and the Trojans' run game, when given a chance, continues to excel recently. On the flip side, the Trojans' saw some weak points at right tackle as well as one of their cornerback spots. Those and Riley's playcalling are focused upon in the Stock Down portion. After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing young players that could become starters next season and USC women's basketball's dramatic win in Paris. The episode concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some Take It or Leave Its about the Trojans and what stood out from Shotgun's trip to Paris.

Tunnel Vision: After USC falls to Washington for loss No. 5, 2024 is officially a wasted season
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Chris Trevino and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back from Seattle where they will once again discuss everything that made the road trip a nightmare for the Trojan football team and their fans. After the 26-21 loss to Washington, USC falls to 4-5 on the season, 0-4 on the road and has lost four of its last five games heading into the bye week. Head coach Lincoln Riley has as many losses (10) in his last 16 games at USC than he had in his entire Oklahoma career (55-10). After the game Riley continued with his message that the team is doing a lot of great things and they are simply one play away from turning a loss into a victory. While that is technically true, the common dominator is that being close to winning isn't good enough, especially when the schedule was favorable and some of those losses shouldn't have been close enough to go either way. The guys talk about what they saw and heard up in Seattle and try to make sense of this team fighting for bowl eligibility instead of a berth in the expanded College Football Playoffs. What is left for USC to play for? Wins over Nebraska plus rivals UCLA and Notre Dame would be nice, but it wouldn't erase another (at least) five-loss season in year three of Riley's tenure. This campaign started with great promise after beating LSU in Las Vegas, but four losses in the last five weeks officially makes USC football 2024 another wasted season.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Previewing the 2024-25 USC men's and women's hoops season & special interview with Women of Troy assistant Beth Burns
The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) previewing the upcoming season for the USC men's and women's basketball teams with the Women of Troy a national championship contender and the men's team coming off an exhibition win over a top 10 Gonzaga team. But first, a special guest joins the show as USC women’s associate head coach Beth Burns comes on to discuss what she expects this season after the Trojans revamped the roster with the additions of the No. 1 transfer in the nation, Kiki Iriafen, and fellow Pac-12 transfer Talia von Oelhoffen along with the No. 1 high school recruiting class in the nation, led by Etiwanda (Calif.) guard Kennedy Smith. Burns also talks about how different preparation was leading into this season with the addition of seven freshmen compared to last year having three Ivy League graduate transfers that already had a ton of collegiate experience. Shotgun and Connor then break down the Women of Troy seeking a trip to their first Final Four since 1986 along with a completely new USC men's roster with 13 incoming transfers/freshmen under new head coach Eric Musselman. The podcasting duo give three things they are looking forward to from both squads and two things they still have concerns about as the season is about to begin. They also look forward to Monday's upcoming season openers with the Women of Troy playing in the Aflac Oui-Play event in Paris, France against No. 20 Ole Miss while the men will host SoCon contender Chattanooga at the Galen Center in Musselman's USC debut.

Tunnel Vision: USC is looking for its first road win of the season, taking on the Washington Huskies
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio for a Halloween edition of the show, previewing the extremely important game between the USC Trojans and the Washington Huskies. Both programs are 4-4 and both need a victory for a realistic shot at making a bowl game and finishing the season on a high note. The Trojans will have their hands full trying to play in Husky Stadium, where UW has an 18-game winning streak going. USC hasn't won a true road game in over a year and would love to finally secure a Big Ten road win, even if it comes against a familiar Pac-12 foe. Washington's strength lies in its pass defense, ranked No. 1 in the FBS. USC likes to throw the ball with Miller Moss but Lincoln Riley could find more success with Woody Marks and the ground game up in Seattle. The Trojans could get some of their injured defensive players back for this game as they try to keep the Huskies offense at bay. UW is one of the top teams in FBS in terms of total offense, but for some reason Washington struggles in the red zone, making point production much lower. The Dawgs are also terrible on special teams, which could provide an opportunity for Zachariah Branch and Makai Lemon in the return game.

Can the Trojans build on that Rutgers win heading into the Washington trip?
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the Trojans ending their 3-game losing streak with a 42-20 victory over Rutgers on Friday night. The Scarlet Knights aren't a great team, but USC was desperate for a win and needed to get back to .500 with a chance to build on that in the final third of the season. This weekend we will see if the Trojans can keep the momentum of that win going, heading to Seattle to take on the 4-4 Washington Huskies in the final real road trip of the season. It should be an interesting matchup with UW sporting the best pass defense in the country to try and counter Miller Moss and SC's receiver corps. The Huskies play much better at home than on the road and will be looking to shake off their own two-game losing streak with a win over a former Pac-12 foe. The guys also talk about why head coach Lincoln Riley's decision to close practices the remainder of the season is concerning, as this team has plenty of problems that need to be addressed and having reporters watching 10 minutes of stretching isn't one of them.

Coach Harvey Hyde talks about USC's performance against Rutgers and how important it was for the Trojans to get back into the win column
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde have a chance to talk about a Trojan football victory after USC took care of business by beating Rutgers 42-20 Friday night in the Coliseum. Coach feels like the Men of Troy needed this win badly after losing three straight and sporting a losing record for the first time in Lincoln Riley's head coaching career. The Scarlet Knights were an overmatched opponents and both teams were dealing with significant injuries, but USC did what it needed to do and put up good numbers that the program can build upon heading into the final four games of the regular season. It was a unique Friday sports night in Los Angeles with just a few miles of freeway separating USC hosting Rutgers, the Lakers hosting the Phoenix Suns and the Dodgers hosting the New York Yankees. Coach talks about all that was going on in the City of Angels and the part the Trojans played in the historic night. Coming out of that game, players were smiling again and that is very important for the psyche of a young student athlete. They could go to class on Monday with their heads up and there is more joy in the locker room and at the football facilities knowing that the team got an important victory. Following the win, the fans seem a little more subdued and less enthusiastic, likely a combination of the caliber of opponent, the late Friday kickoff and the lost expectations of what could have been a promising season after USC beat LSU in the opener.

Coach Harvey Hyde feels a combination of past errors is now catching up with this Trojan football team
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are once again trying to make sense of this USC football program that continues to find unique ways to lose a football game. This week the Trojans had a struggling Maryland squad on the ropes with a 14-point lead in the 3rd quarter and USC driving to put the game away. But as we have seen in all of the Trojans four losses this season, things went bad late and the Terrapins were able to pull off the upset and the fans that were left in the stadium stormed the field. Coach Hyde talks about some of the questionable decisions head coach Lincoln Riley has made over his two and a half years and how those errors are coming back to bite the Trojans and contribute to all of these losses. His first major issue is the lack of recruiting in Southern California and how that has contributed to the depth issues for this team. Coach Hyde knows that some of the top high school programs and prospects are right in USC's back yard and he wants to see Riley and his staff be much more active showing their faces on campus and doing their best to keep all of this top talent at home, similar to what Pete Carroll did. Coach also wants to see USC run the ball more and really impose their will with a physical ground attack. After going up 14 points against Maryland, that was time for the Trojans to start lining up and running to take control of the game, run clock and destroy the will of the opposition. Instead USC threw the ball 9 out of 10 times and relied on receivers making miracle catches, allowing the Terps to get back in the game. And he would like to see Riley be more of a head coach and less of an offensive coordinator. At this stage he needs to oversee all aspects of this team, offense, defense and special teams, to make sure the program finishes games the right away. With so much emphasis on the offensive play calling, Coach Hyde feels there isn't enough time dedicated to all of his other head coaching duties.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Chris Trevino and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back from Maryland and ready to talk about USC's latest baffling defeat, this time at the hands of the Maryland Terrapins. This was the third long road trip for the Trojans and the third time this program and their travelling fans had to endure a disappointing plane ride back to Los Angeles, thinking about everything that went wrong and all of the missed opportunities that could have secured a victory. After building up a comfortable 21-7 lead at the halftime break, USC got a stop and had the ball near midfield with a chance to put the game away. A Miller Moss interception turned the tide and the familiar late game collapse unfolded, with the Terps making all of the right moves and the Trojans making all of the key mistakes to let the game slip away.

Trojans down two top defenders heading into the Maryland road trip
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with lots to talk about in the USC football world, following the heartbreaking overtime loss to Penn State. The guys take one quick look back at what went wrong late in the game against the Nittany Lions before turning the page and taking a look ahead at the long road trip to take on Maryland. The Trojans are still looking for their first road victory in Big Ten conference play and the Terps are a desperate squad after getting blown out at home at the hands of Northwestern, despite being a two-score favorite. Maryland is 3-3 and haven't notched a conference victory, so this could be another field storming opportunity if the Trojans once again can't figure out a way to win. They also discuss the breaking news that both defensive end Anthony Lucas and linebacker Eric Gentry will be out for the rest of the season and what impact that could have on that side of the ball going forward. They also discuss the Penn State fan that paid to run out of the tunnel with the Trojans, Lincoln Riley announcing that the team would be leaving later than normal on Friday for the long trip to Maryland, the basketball team's first exhibition game and lots more.

Helium Boys Podcast: USC improved in loss to Penn State? Maryland preview and Trevino homecoming
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys return to break down USC's heartbreaking 33-30 overtime loss to No. 4 Penn State as a potential turn-the-season-around win eluded the Trojans in another tight game. Shotgun and Chris also look forward to USC's upcoming matchup and a final cross-country road trip this weekend as the Trojans take on struggling Maryland, the alma mater of one Chris Trevino. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' where Chris spends half of his time on his initial thoughts of the Penn State game before dedicating his final minute to what Maryland football meant to him growing up and how it helped lead him to this point in his life where he gets to cover a USC-Maryland football game. Shotgun then takes the 'Two-Minute Drill' reins to again talk about the inconsistency of Big Ten officiating and discusses why he's bullish on the Trojans' chances to go on a run in the second half of the season. Chris and Shotgun then dive into their Stock Up/Stock Down segment looking at the players and themes that saw their stock rise or dip over the last week. A couple of bounce-back performances earned Quinten Joyner and Jaylin Smith spots on the Stock Up side. The young defensive depth is also on the rise as Devan Thompkins got his first career start and led the team with four pressures while Desman Stephens II's fourth-ever snap with the first team saw him intercept Drew Allar and return it 42 yards. On the flip side, the Trojans' pass rush struggles and inability to defend Tyler Warren are featured prominently in the Stock Down portion. The Helium Boys then preview the upcoming road trip to Chris Trevino Country for the Trojans, taking a look at the key storyline, player and matchup before positing scenarios that would cause USC to win and scenarios that would cause USC to lose Saturday afternoon's game. There are a couple consensus picks among the podcasting duo as both are looking for Miller Moss to have a big impact and are keeping a watchful eye on the Trojans' pass rush against a porous Terrapin offensive line. After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing all manner of items from the USC coaching staff's preparedness, Big Ten officials, what next season holds and learning how to win close games. The episode concludes with a role reversal as Shotgun quizzes Trevino with some Take It or Leave Its about the Trojans, including if Eric Gentry can continue to lead the team in some defensive categories even if he doesn't return this season. Shotgun then puts Chris through the Overtime ringer with Maryland-related Take It or Leave Its. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts ! <p

It was another exciting weekend of college football with two games on the West Coast that felt like the Rose Bowl, USC hosting Penn State and Oregon hosting Ohio State in Eugene. The Ducks got their signature win for the season, taking down the Buckeyes and the Trojans had their opportunity to take down a top-5 team and make a statement in the Big Ten, but fell short in the end. Coach Harvey Hyde liked the way the team came out and ran the ball and played good defense against Penn State, allowing only a pair of field goals in the first 30 minutes of the game. But he wasn't sure why head coach Lincoln Riley got away from what was working after halftime, throwing 8 passes through the first 9 plays and allowing the Nittany Lions to come back and tie the game fairly quickly. In a game with two great traditions going at it, USC was not just in a position to win but had a chance to blow PSU out, but the Trojans helped out the Lions by getting away from what was working and helping the Lions in their comeback bid. At the end of the day, Riley is one of the highest paid coaches in the country and Coach Hyde thinks that losing three of your last four games is not acceptable, whether they were all close at the end or not. This team has had many opportunities for someone to make a play down the stretch and in the three losses no one was able to break through and do so. Saturday the players played hard, Coach Hyde could tell they wanted to win, but when it came down to it they just were not able to execute. Coach Hyde was glad to see Riley take responsibility after the game, he just now wants to see them take the next step and figure out how to walk away from winnable games with a victory.

Tunnel Vision: Trojans struggling to find answers after yet another last-minute defeat
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Shotgun Spratling are back in studio breaking down USC's 33-30 overtime loss to No. 4 Penn State, a game where the Trojans held a 14-point lead at halftime only to see it melt away in the second half. At the halfway mark in the season, USC is sitting at 3-3 and 1-3 in the Big Ten conference, with all three losses coming in the final seconds of the game. While it is true that the Trojans are just a few plays away from being undefeated, you are what your record is and right now USC is a middling team in its new conference and that simply isn't good enough. Head coach Lincoln Riley is in his third season and while he took over a dumpster fire and turned things around quickly, he has lost 8 of his last 13 games Trojan fans want answers. The Trojans put forward much better effort at home against Penn State than they did on the road at Minnesota, but it still wasn't enough to put away the No. 4 Nittany Lions. The guys talk about what they liked from USC's play on Saturday and where they thought the biggest issues were, starting with giving up a record 17 catches to PSU tight end Tyler Warren .

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio discussing the worst result of the season for this USC football team, an upset loss on the road to Minnesota and the need for a quick turnaround with the No. 4 Nittany Lions coming to town.

The guys have updates from what head coach Lincoln Riley had to say during his media appearances including injury updates, linebacker Eric Gentry potentially shutting it down after multiple concussions and his interaction with the Big Ten conference regarding the questionable calls in the game at Minnesota. As bad as the loss to the Golden Gophers was, USC does have a tremendous opportunity to get things going in the right direction by defeating a top-5 Penn State program on Saturday. The guys talk about this game and some of the strengths and weaknesses of this Nittany Lions squad.

Helium Boys Podcast: USC stumbles in Minnesota, rematch with No. 4 Penn State and Mall of America
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys are back to break down USC's disappointing 24-17 loss to Michigan in Minneapolis as their first-ever conference Big Ten road win again evaded the Trojans. They also look forward to USC's upcoming matchup against a top five Penn State team in the Coliseum this weekend. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that Shotgun apparently has no regard for any more after blatantly abusing the timer as he rants about the inconsistency of the Big Ten officiating that USC has been subjected to during their tenure in the conference. Chris then takes the 'Two-Minute Drill' reins to talk about his trip to Minnesota Chris and Shotgun then dive into their Stock Up/Stock Down segment looking at the players and themes that saw their stock rise or dip this week. Woody Marks continues to be a stock up candidate after another strong performance. Eric Gentry's stock was on the rise despite not playing while youngsters Alani Noa and Jide Abasiri are on the climb as is USC's run blocking. On the flip side, the Trojans' run defense and inability to get off of blocks is discussed heavily in the Stock Down portion. The Helium Boys then preview the upcoming Big Ten home opener against No. 4 Penn State for the Trojans, taking a look at the key storyline, player and matchup before positing scenarios that would cause USC to win and scenarios that would cause USC to lose Saturday afternoon's game. After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing the offensive line play and the warmth of offensive line coach Josh Henson's seat, zebra issues and Greedy Vance Jr. The episode concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some Take It or Leave Its about the upcoming game and the state of Pennsylvania before having him cold rank the eight most American things in the Mall of America.

Coach Harvey Hyde thinks USC needs to make adjustments to survive in the Big Ten
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about another disturbing loss for the Trojans, falling on the road to 24-17 to Minnesota. Coach Hyde has a lot of thoughts on this game, one that USC needed to and should have won if it had any belief that this team was capable of competing for a spot in the College Football Playoffs. Coach Hyde thinks that this team needs to make adjustments to survive in the world of Big Ten football, as there are many differences from what USC is seeing now as opposed to what it saw back in the Pac-12. It starts with being more physical in every aspect of the game, and while the Trojans have improved in that area, there is still a lot more work to do. There are more ‘bring your lunch pail to work’ games in this conference and USC needs to be ready for contests turning into a rock fight, with fewer possessions and blocking and tackling taking precedence over a finesse passing game.

Tunnel Vision: Previewing No. 11 USC heading back out on the road to take on Minnesota
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio previewing the No. 11 USC's road trip to Minnesota, with the Trojans facing off against a desperate Golden Gophers squad that is 2-3 on the season and looking for its first Big Ten conference win of the season. The game will be on live at 4:30 p.m. Pacific Time and 6:30 p.m. Central Time and shown on the Big Ten Network. The guys talk about some of the matchups for this game including the highly ranked defense for Minnesota including a secondary that has eight interceptions on the season. The Gophers have been more pedestrian on offense and the offensive line already has 15 penalties on the season, but as we saw against Michigan they can put together some good drives and should be a tough test for D'Anton Lynn's defense. Both teams have had some up and down plays from their special teams units and it could come down to which side avoids the huge mistake or makes the game changing play in the kicking game. The guys also discuss USC's injury situation, the progress of the offensive line, what it will take for the Trojans to get their first Big Ten road victory and lots more.

Trojans trying to follow up first Big Ten victory with road win at Minnesota
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio discussing the Trojans second half comeback over Wisconsin and the upcoming road trip against Minnesota. After some time to digest what went down Saturday in the Coliseum the guys share their thoughts on the game, including what they heard from Lincoln Riley on Trojans Live and following Tuesday's practice. Riley was able to provide some injury updates including safety Akili Arnold and linebacker Eric Gentry being listed as questionable for the road trip to Minnesota. As expected, there was no sight of Bear Alexander at practice and no further update on his status with the team. We they have discussed since Connor broke the news last week, we don't expect to see Bear around the team for the rest of the season. Linebacker Raesjon Davis also appears to be a redshirt candidate as he was wearing a scout team jersey during Tuesday's practice. There was also a lot of talk about the offensive line focusing on the fundamentals coming off of that Michigan loss. The front five played better against Wisconsin, but there was still a lot of pressure on Miller Moss and they need to keep developing and improving as the season goes on. Looking ahead the guys talk about this extremely important business trip to Minneapolis where the Trojans will try to secure their first road win in Big Ten conference play. The Golden Gophers are 2-3 on the season but gave Michigan all it could handle last weekend in the Big House, so USC will need to come to play if it wants to improve to 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the conference.

The Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast, returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino behind the microphones for another episode. The Helium Boys are back to break down USC's come-from-behind 38-21 victory over Wisconsin in the Trojans' first-ever Big Ten game in the Coliseum and look forward to a trip to Minnesota to take on a stingy Golden Gophers team that has struggled to put together a complete game. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that includes Chris thanking the staff for filling in for him after missing the game for a wedding while Shotgun initially goes off the rails talking about MLB's final day of the regular season before discussing the potential of road weariness starting to play a factor for the Trojans as they travel back and forth across the country. Chris and Shotgun then dive into their Stock Up/Stock Down segment looking at the players and themes that saw their stock rise or dip this week. Ja'Kobi Lane and the carousel of receiving targets taking first billing are discussed as well as the Trojans' defense getting repeated stops on third and fourth down. Quinten Joyner, Kamari Ramsey and second-half adjustments also make the cut. But on the flip side, USC's lack of intensity coming out of the gates the last two weeks was discussed heavily in the Stock Down portion. After a break, the Helium Boys preview the Trojans' upcoming Big Ten road trip to Minnesota, taking a look at the key storyline, player and matchup before positing scenarios that would cause USC to win and scenarios that would cause USC to lose Saturday evening's game. The podcast duo then answer your mailbag questions discussing primarily offensive line concerns and defensive pressure issues of the Trojans.

Coach Harvey Hyde on how he feels the Trojans just need to avoid beating themselves
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about USC getting its first ever Big Ten conference victory, taking down Wisconsin 38-21 in the Coliseum. After a slow start and the worst half of football of the season that put the Trojans in a 21-10 hole, USC pitched a shutout after halftime and outscored the Badgers 28-0 on its way to a 17-point victory in a game that looked very much in doubt. Coach talked about the need for the Men of Troy to avoid the bad starts like what we saw on Saturday with three first half turnovers, uncharacteristically poor tackling a poor efforts on punt returns. If the Trojans can just avoid beating themselves, the schedule sets up well enough that the wins will come and USC should be in the College Football Playoff picture at the end of the season. After beating themselves in the first half against Wisconsin, Lincoln Riley and his troops cleaned things up and took control of the game. He loves the bend but don't break attitude of the defense that has shut out the opposition in 6 of 12 quarters and only allowed 82 yards in the second half against the Badgers. He feels the pass blocking needs some work and he wants to see some adjustments made to help Moss in this offense that seems more suited for a highly athletic quarterback. He also wants to see better communication on the punt returns, saying the team needs to generate positive yards and be smart with the choice of returning the ball or not.

Trojans trying to regroup after the Michigan loss plus Bear social media drama
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio discussing how the Trojans are trying to move on from the heartbreaking loss to Michigan this week and looking ahead to Wisconsin for the first Big Ten game in the Coliseum. The guys talk about what head coach Lincoln Riley had to say on Trojans Live and after Tuesday's practice plus what the offensive players talked about including Woody Marks and his amazing strip of the football that essentially kept the Trojans in the game against Michigan. They also look ahead to an important matchup against Wisconsin and talk about how the Trojans will try to get right on offense and keep the high level defensive play going against the Badgers. If getting pushed around by Michigan's defensive front wasn't enough to light a fire under this Trojan offense, knowing former DC Alex Grinch and former starting linebacker Tackett Curtis are on the opposing sidelines should be all the motivation Miller Moss and company needs. Outside of three plays, the USC defense played extremely well against the Wolverines and a similar effort should be enough to shut down Wisconsin who is without its starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke . They also give their thoughts on the Bear Alexander situation with some interesting comments on social media from his camp and former USC football players. On Tuesday Lincoln Riley said, "there's no story there," but the social media posts keep coming. CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!

The Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast, returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino behind the microphones for another episode. The Helium Boys are back to break down USC's heartbreaking 27-24 loss to Michigan in the Big House in their-ever Big Ten game and look forward to the first-ever Big Ten matchup in the Coliseum this weekend when Wisconsin comes to town. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that Chris apparently can't remember the name of. Shotgun talks about the atmosphere and the pageantry of the matchup between USC and Michigan as well as how one play could have changed this entire game. Chris then takes the 'Two-Minute Drill' reins to talk about how close the game was and how the Trojans showed grit to rally to take the lead before ultimately falling. Then he goes on a rant about the term "caddy corner," and it's usage in Ann Arbor on this trip. Chris and Shotgun then dive into their Stock Up/Stock Down segment looking at the players and themes that saw their stock rise or dip this week. Woody Marks and Miller Moss were two unanimous choices for improving stocks as was the continued elite, wild man play of Eric Gentry on the defensive side. But on the flip side, the offensive line was discussed heavily in the Stock Down portion. The Helium Boys then preview the upcoming Big Ten home opener against Wisconsin for the Trojans, taking a look at the key storyline, player and matchup before positing scenarios that would cause USC to win and scenarios that would cause USC to lose Saturday afternoon's game. After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing Zachariah Branch's returns, Gentry's draft stock, offensive line concerns, play calling issues, zebra issues, signs of growth and even future WNBA Draft information.

Tunnel Vision: Recapping USC's frustrating 27-24 loss to Michigan in the Big House
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Chris Trevino and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back from Michigan where they witnessed what was a very frustrating loss for the Trojans, falling to Michigan 27-24 in front of over 110,000 souls in the Big House. The Wolverines were completely one-dimensional on offense with Alex Orji throwing for just 32 yards in his first career start, but Michigan ran for 290 yards including three explosive runs and that ended up being just enough offense for the boys in blue to take down USC. The Trojans couldn't have started worse on offense with the run blocking and pass protection equally bad in the first half. Lincoln Riley switched things up with his front five and that worked well after halftime, but USC just didn't play a clean enough game to take control of a game that was certainly within its reach. The guys talk about everything they saw and heard in Ann Arbor, the quotes (or lack thereof) from players and coaches after the game and what their thoughts on what this loss means for the rest of the Big Ten schedule.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio previewing the very first Big Ten conference game for USC, a road contest against Michigan in the Big House. When USC and UCLA announced they were leaving the Pac-12 for the B1G, no one could have anticipated that the Trojans very first Big Ten conference game would be as historic as this one, facing off against the Wolverines in the regular season for the first time since the 1950s. USC and Michigan are used to meeting up in the Rose Bowl, so Saturday's contest will be a unique early season clash between college football blue bloods. The guys talk about some of the matchups for this game including USC's improved defense against Michigan's developing offense, Miller Moss and his ball distribution skills against a Wolverines defense that is stacked with talent and a pair of special teams squads that are pushing for improvement in 2024.

Helium Boys Special: Interview with USC LB Eric Gentry on regaining confidence, film study and Wawa
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return for a special Tunnel Vision takeover episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football prodcast. The Helium Boys are back with a special guest interview with USC linebacker Eric Gentry where he talks about regaining his confidence, his passion for film study, the Trojans' defensive turnaround and his affinity for Wawa. Gentry discusses how he's been able to get off to a great start to the season, leading the team with 14 tackles, including a team-best 3.5 tackles for loss, through the first two games. He credits the new coaching staff for helping him take his game to another level, including linebackers coach Matt Entz helping him decipher presnap indicators that have helped him play a step faster. A lot of that comes from his work in the film room, which is something Gentry has taken very seriously since now-Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce helped show him the importance during their time together at Arizona State. The 6-foot-6 linebacker also talks about the freedom he has in the new defense, how defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn asks for and uses his feedback from the field and discusses when he realized the Trojans could have a good defense this year. He tries to define what his role in USC's defense is, and Gentry even looks back and opens up about the school he wanted an offer from growing up that never came. After a break, Shotgun and Chris delve into Gentry's personality, which has an on-field/off-field duality. Gentry also talks about the role his faith plays as a Muslim football player and why music is so important to him, particularly on game days. The episode concludes with the podcasting duo quizzing the Philadelphia native about his home city with Chris throwing some Take It or Leave Its about the iconic elements of Philly at Gentry.

The Helium Boys are back to break down USC's upcoming trip to Ann Arbor and the matchup with Michigan in the Trojans' first-ever Big Ten game. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill.' Shotgun talks about former USC wide receiver Drake London having the game-winning catch on Monday Night Football as the Atlanta Falcons defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Chris then takes the 'Two-Minute Drill' reins to talk about how excited he is about the upcoming matchup of USC playing in The Big House and the opportunity to cover a game in another historic venue. Chris and Shotgun then dive into a preview of the upcoming Michigan game for the Trojans, taking a look at the key storyline, player and matchup before positing scenarios that would cause USC to win and scenarios that would cause USC to lose Saturday afternoon's game. After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore unveiling his starting quarterback five days before kickoff, how the Michigan offensive line is looking compared to last year and how much concern there should be about Bear Alexander's lack of production through the first two games.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Head coach Eric Musselman discusses lessons learned in transfer portal + trying to build a cohesive roster from scratch
The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) talking about USC men's basketball's non-conference schedule for the upcoming 2024-25 season, the first under new head coach Eric Musselman, as well as the Trojans' recruiting efforts for future classes. Shotgun and Connor also answer some of your questions, taking user-submitted questions from social media and The Peristyle. They discuss the potential pace USC may try to play with this season as it goes to the Big Ten, knowing Musselman has played at a quicker tempo in the past but not in the rugged midwestern conference that is known for physical battles and swallowed whistles. But then everything the podcasting duo says is overshadowed as new USC head coach Eric Musselman joins the show for the first time. The energetic Musselman talks about how he's constantly learning and taking lessons from other sports and other coaches. He also discusses how learning his new roster is coming along as the Trojans pull together 15 previously-unknown-to-each-other pieces and try to mesh into a cohesive unite. The head coach talks about the lessons he learned in the transfer portal, particularly from last year's cycle when Arkansas netted a talented roster that could beat the best teams in the country but never melded together into a consistent, cohesive unit. Musselman also reveals why versatility was such an important element in their recruiting efforts this offseason. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Helium Boys Podcast: Trojan defense lights out in shutout of Utah State and bye week momentum
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football prodcast. The Helium Boys are back to break down USC's 48-0 thrashing of Utah State in the Trojans' home opener and discuss how the Trojans should be evaluated entering their bye week before a huge showdown with Michigan. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill.' Shotgun raves about how good the Trojan defense has looked under the defensive staff of D'Anton Lynn, Eric Henderson, Matt Entz and Doug Belk after USC notched its first shutout in 13 years. Chris then takes the 'Two-Minute Drill' reins to talk about how important blowout victories are for the development of a program because of the opportunities it allows young players to get on the field, get their feet wet and get adjusted to the speed and physicality of the college game.. Chris and Shotgun then dive into their stocks in Stock Up/Stock Down looking at what players or elements were elevated or took a hit based on preseason expectations and the first game of the season. Both Helium Boys gush about the play of linebacker Eric Gentry, who seems to be having more fun than anyone in the stadium on game days and who is having a huge impact on a play-in, play-out basis. Shotgun goes as far as to put Gentry on All-American watch with the way he has shined through the first two games. There is plenty of stocks on the rise after a 48-0 win with Miller Moss, the running back group, young defenders and Lake McRee's surgeon all getting some love. The Stock Down section is much shorter as is to be expected, but one element Shotgun harps on is the receivers catching. After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing among other things what it will take for the Trojans to be able to keep Lynn around for more than one season and what kind of adjustments Lynn can make against a Michigan offense that has struggled thus far. They also give their suggestions for an improved Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and talk about Lincoln Riley's red zone passing game play calling. The episode concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some Take It or Leave Its around rankings and player performances.

Coach Harvey Hyde thinks USC's tackling is the most improved after the 48-0 shutout of Utah State
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about this Trojan football team improving to 2-0 on the young season following the 48-0 home opening victory over Utah State late Saturday night in the Coliseum. The Coach talks about what he liked on the offensive side of the ball, especially how the run game finally got going. On defense he thinks the No. 1 thing is how improved the tackling has been and that was a major part in the Trojans pitching a shutout against the Aggies. The guys also take a look at what USC needs to do during the bye week to get prepared for the Trojans first Big Ten conference game, a tough road trip to a Michigan squad that is licking its wounds this week after getting pushed around by Texas. This game looks much more winnable than it did just a couple of weeks ago, so Lincoln Riley and his staff need to prepare this team for a business trip to Ann Arbor.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio previewing the home opener for the No. 13 USC Trojans, who face off against Utah State from the Mountain West. The guys talk about what they know from the Aggies who won their opener against Robert Morris and how the Trojan defenders could face off against a familiar face at quarterback with former Utah signal caller Bryson Barnes (aka the "Pig Farmer") potentially starting for the injured Spencer Petras . Before the crew gets into their detailed preview of Saturday night's contest in the Coliseum they welcome in linebacker Mason Cobb who sealed the victory over LSU with his last second interception. Cobb had four tackles, the aforementioned interception and one pass breakup and was part of a linebacker crew that performed extremely well against the Tigers Sunday night in Las Vegas. The guys also talk about Caleb Williams getting his No. 13 retired (the same number Mason Cobb wears incidentally) and his jersey along with the No. 5 jersey of Reggie Bush being put up under the Peristyle in the Coliseum.

Coming out of it they talk about what they liked about this Trojan offense, defense and special teams and what they saw that could be areas of concern going forward into the Big Ten schedule. The celebration on the field was glorious, but after a day off the Trojans were back to work getting ready for Utah State on a short week. Riley talked about the challenges of getting the team ready with one less day of preparation and how there were areas USC needed to get better in to build on that LSU victory.

The Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football prodcast, returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino breaking down USC's 27-20 victory in the final seconds of the Vegas Kickoff Classic over No. 13 LSU and look forward to this week's matchup against Utah State. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill.' Chris compares the atmosphere at Allegiant Stadium and the gameplay between two good teams to a College Football Playoff game while Shotgun talks about how quickly the game seemed to flash by with so many quality plays being made similarly to the previous CFP game he's covered -- the 2018 Rose Bowl between a Lincoln Riley-led Oklahoma team that fell to Georgia in overtime -- but he points out how that game ended with more than 100 points being scored compared to basically half of that output Sunday night. Chris and Shotgun then dive into their stocks in Stock Up/Stock Down looking at what players or elements were elevated or took a hit based on initial expectations. Chris mentions the improved special teams efforts that helped flip the field for USC while Shotgun brings up how preconceived notions of this team and its ceiling this season have to be thrown out after the way Miller Moss connected with his playmakers and the defense showed it's on a completely different level than it has been in recent years. Both Helium Boys also show some love for the tight ends and talk about the amount of joy being had by both players and fans in cardinal and gold. After a break, the podcast duo look forward to the Trojans' home opener this week previewing the key storyline, player and matchup for the Utah State game. The Helium Boys also answer your mailbag questions primarily about the defensive play calling of D'Anton Lynn with some mention of recruiting and what the win over LSU means for the Trojans' future.

Helium Boys Podcast: Post-fall camp re-rank of USCfootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans for 2024
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back together for a special behind-the-scenes edition of the Helium Boys Podcast. The Helium Boys work through the process of compiling and debating a post-fall camp re-rank of USCfootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans' list. For the last five seasons, the USCfootball.com staff has counted down the Top 30 Most Important Trojans in a series of offseason articles leading up to the kickoff of fall camp. Each year under Lincoln Riley, the USC roster has seen significant turnover each year making it a bit of a guessing game trying to figure our who is going to play and how valuable they are going to be toward the team's success, so we've incorporated a re-rank when the Trojans' football team makes the transition from fall camp to game preparation in the week leading up to the season opener. Each USCfootball.com staff member submits his own list of whom he/she believes will be the most important Trojans. Considerations for the rankings take in a wide range of factors including positional depth, 2023 stats, overall talent, departures from the previous season, projected development and expectations. The only guidance we try to follow is that the most important factor for placement is if this particular player was lost for the season, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The individual lists are submitted and compiled before Shotgun and Chris come together to sift through the information, debate and assemble the official USCfootball.com rankings. In this podcast, the Helium Boys give you a peek behind the curtain, allowing you to listen in on the re-rankings discussion as we sift, sort and come up with the final preseason rankings. The re-rank includes several risers on the defensive side of the ball, including Gavin Meyer and Anthony Lucas, as well as players whose importance declined whether through an inability to lock up a starting role or the emergence of other players.

Tunnel Vision: Previewing the No. 23 USC Trojans and the No. 13 LSU Tigers in Las Vegas
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are finally back in studio to give a detailed preview of USC's first game of the 2024 college football season, a neutral site matchup against the No. 13 LSU Tigers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. All three hosts (along with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino ) will be in Vegas for the game and they are excited as anyone to watch and talk about real football after a long off-season of quiet rebuilding for the Trojans. There is a lot of doubt about this USC squad that needs to replace Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and somehow get significantly better on defense, but head coach Lincoln Riley made a lot of moves, including a stacked defensive staff, and he appears to be ready to jump in and make the first year in the Big Ten a successful one. The guys talk about some of those improvements that were made and how that can help USC get off to a fast start to the season with a potential win over a top-15 opponent from the SEC. They also discuss what they know about the Tigers, who have a lot of similarities to the Trojans, having to replace a Heisman winner and make vast improvements on the defensive side of the ball.

Helium Boys Podcast: LSU vs. USC preview, key matchups in Las Vegas
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino reunite for the Helium Boys Podcast to discuss the gloriousness that is the return of college football with No. 23 USC set to take on No. 13 LSU in the Modelo Vegas Kickoff Classic Sunday at Allegiant Stadium (4:30 p.m. PST; ABC). The Helium Boys preview the 2024 season and the opener against the Bayou Bengals with a new format as well as bringing back a couple of favorite segments from podcasts past Take It or Leave It and the Overtime period. They also answer your questions. But the episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill,' which takes on new meaning this season in college football with the implementation of a two-minute warning stoppage. Shotgun makes sure to get in a quick run of Stock Ups heading into the season during his two minutes while Chris initially has to wait to get the call in his headset as he mimics the new technology that will be allowed on the field for the first time in college football this season. Chris and Shotgun then dive into the approaching season opener and the opportunity that it is for both the Trojans and the Tigers -- two programs that enter as nearly mirror images as the similarities range up and down the gamut of storylines heading into the first game. They look at the key storyline as well as the player that could be a difference maker and the matchup that could determine the outcome. They also play a little 'fill in the blank' with the causation of a USC win and loss. After a break, Chris quizzes Shotgun with Take It or Leave It. The Helium Boys also answer your mailbag questions about a number of topics spanning from the defensive coordinator preferences and how to best assess preseason intrasquad scrimmages before a couple of Vegas themed inquiries. The episode concludes with the Overtime section focused on Olympic sports Chris wants Shotgun to make a determination on.

Helium Boys Podcast: Miller Moss named starting quarterback, other USC position battles & 2024 season Over/Under picks
The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino back behind the microphones to break down and react to Miller Moss being named the Trojans' starting quarterback after USC announced Lincoln Riley's decision Monday evening. The podcast also features an assessment of other notable position battles for the Trojans as they head into mock game week with the season opener less than two weeks away, and later in the episode, Chris breaks out the Over/Under betting lines to get Shotgun's feel on how the USC team will perform this season. This Helium Boys episode opens in a unique way as Shotgun is too excited about the impending college football season and skips right past the podcast staple opening 'Two-Minute Drill.' Instead the podcast duo jump right into the conversation about the impending season and Riley's decision to name his starting quarterback. Chris nearly gets pinned in the corner when thrown a potential comparison of this year's quarterback battle and decision with the one Clay Helton made in 2016 choosing Max Browne to start over Sam Darnold to open the season. Chris and Shotgun also break down some of the other position battles for the Trojans, including a couple like the right guard and inside linebacker spots that seem as if a decision may have already been made and a couple others on the defensive side that will continue at least for the next two weeks. After a break, Chris quizzes Shotgun with his Over/Under lines. The Helium Boys also answer your mailbag questions about recruiting, quarterbacks and the potential of the Trojans' offense this season.

Helium Boys Podcast: Ranking the top 10 of USCFootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans of 2024
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino come together for the final installment of a three-part special behind-the-scenes series of the Helium Boys Podcast. The Helium Boys work through the process of compiling and debating the top 10 spots for the initial summer ranking of USCFootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans' list for the 2024 season. For the fifth year in a row, the USCFootball.com staff is counting down the Top 30 Most Important Trojans in a series of offseason articles leading up to the kickoff of fall camp. The series is based off our staff's guesses on the development of returners as well as the value of newcomers as the Trojans' roster comes together after another offseason of turnover under head coach Lincoln Riley. Each USCFootball.com staff member submits his own list of whom he believes will be the most important Trojans. Considerations for the rankings take in a wide range of factors including positional depth, 2023 stats, overall talent, departures from the previous season, projected development and expectations. The only guidance we try to follow is that the most important factor for placement is if this particular player was lost for the season, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The individual lists are submitted and compiled before Shotgun and Chris come together to sift through the information, debate and assemble the official USCFootball.com rankings. In this podcast, the Helium Boys give you a peek behind the curtain, allowing you to listen in on the final third of the rankings discussion as they debate and settle on the initial summer preseason rankings for the top 10, including a spirited back and forth on the top three spots and who should be the No. 1 Most Important Trojan for 2024.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: Wrapping up the 2024 USC baseball season with Andy Stankiewicz + breaking transfer portal news
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the 2024 USC baseball season with Trojans' head coach Andy Stankiewicz joining the show to provide insights as we look back at a Trojans' season on the road with USC not having access to their home field on campus. Stankiewicz talks about the Trojans' pain of coming so close to a regional berth for the second year in a row and what he talked about with the players after the Pac-12 Tournament. He also discusses the building blocks the team continues to take as it tries to break through to the postseason and back into the national landscape. After talking with Stankiewicz, Shotgun and Jack take a look towards the future of the USC program. Step one is addressing the names that have already entered the transfer portal after the season's end. Eight rostered players are currently in the transfer portal including one name that caught Jack and Shotgun by surprise mid-recording: Jacob Galloway. After a strong sophomore campaign, the Trojans' stalwart catcher looks to potentially be on the move. To wrap up the episode, Spratling and Smith hand out their end-of-season awards while revisiting their preseason predictions (Hint: there were some incorrect picks). From best hitter and pitcher to most impactful newcomer and the what could've been award, Jack and Shotgun discuss some of the top individual performers and moments of the long season.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: Trojans' season ends in heartbreaking Pac-12 Tournament championship walk-off defeat
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the Pac-12 Tournament, breaking down USC baseball's run to the championship game, battling to make the title game against regular-season champ Arizona. The Trojans needed a win to take the final Pac-12 title and the NCAA tournament automatic bid, but ultimately they ran out of gas, watching a 3-0 lead and a Caden Aoki no-hitter disappear in the final three innings before ultimately falling to the Wildcats on a walk-off winner that featured a bang-bang play at the plate. The Trojans got excellent starting pitching each of their four games, led by Aoki's masterpiece in the championship and William Watson earning himself some money with the best start of his short USC career. They fought through close games, rallying to beat Utah's career saves leader Micah Ashman before having to hold off Oregon and Cal with both getting late opportunities with the tying run at the plate. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the week in Scottsdale and take a brief look forward at what USC's final push this season will do for the program in the future.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: Hot Trojans head to Pac-12 Tournament playing best baseball of season
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the regular season, breaking down USC baseball's sweep of Utah in the final weekend of the regular season to get above .500 for the first time this season while climbing to 17 Pac-12 Conference wins and the No. 4 seed in this week's Pac-12 Tournament. The Trojans got outstanding pitching all three games, led by the continued excellence of ace Caden Aoki, who threw four scoreless innings as he continues to work his way back to full strength after missing more than a month with a shoulder injury. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the weekend before previewing the Pac-12 Tournament, including chatting with USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz as he joins the show from a Scottsdale hotel room after the Trojans' six-hour bus ride. Stankiewicz talks about what the return of Aoki as well as Bryce Martin-Grudzielanek has meant for USC as it moved some other players back into more comfortable roles. He also discusses how things change going into the tournament in desperation win-or-go-home mode this season and what it means for the program to climb up to a fourth-place finish in the Pac-12 for the second year in a row.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: USC baseball looks to gain momentum heading into Pac-12 Tournament
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the three-week period for USC baseball before the Trojans begin the final weekend of the regular season. During the three weeks, USC saw its at-large hopes officially dashed while going 6-6 with series losses at Arizona State and to California. The Trojans enter the final weekend carrying a three-game win streak after rallying to win a road series at Washington State and taking a midweek road game at Gonzaga. The 25-27 Trojans had been without ace Caden Aoki for a month, which really impacted their pitching, particularly the starting pitching. The weekend rotation has been in flux for most of the season due to performance and/or injuries, which has been one of the primary causes of USC floating around just below .500 rather than being able to ascend to their full potential. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the three-week stretch in their 'Three Up, Three Down' segment where they look at both the positives, including William Watson, the return of Aoki and the breakthrough of Ryan Jackson, as well as three negatives from the week, including a lack of come-from-behind success this season, Austin Overn going on a 3-for-33 slump and the Trojans not seeming to be able to pick each other up when a mistake is made. The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down the Pac-12 standings where the Trojans enter the final weekend in sixth with a chance to climb potentially all the way to No. 3. To do that USC will need to sweep Utah in the Trojans' final home series of the season. Shotgun and Jack look forward to the upcoming action between USC and the Utes.

Seven Trojans selected in the NFL Draft plus USC LB Easton Mascarenas-Arnold
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with Oregon State transfer linebacker Easton Mascarenas-Arnold joining the show. The veteran from Mission Viejo comes to USC after three years as a Beaver where he played in 37 games and had 107 tackles, 6.5 for loss with two sacks and pair of interceptions for OSU last season. The Trojans are desperately looking for production out of the linebacker spot and the addition of Mascarenas-Arnold should go a long way towards that goal. The guys chat with him about the decision to join Lincoln Riley , D'Anton Lynn and Matt Entz on this new-look USC defense, coming to Los Angeles with his brother Akili Arnold , how he felt he performed during the 15 spring football practices, what he wants to improve on and what his goals are for his senior season. After the interview Ryan and Connor recap how the Trojans did in the NFL Draft with the first overall pick being Caleb Williams and six more former USC football players being selected. With seven overall selections the Trojans had the most of any program to finish the 2023 season unranked, a dubious distinction that Riley and company will try and rectify in 2024. The interview with Easton Mascarenas-Arnold was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: First losing week since February is likely death knell to USC baseball's at-large hopes
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a five-game week for the Trojans that proved to be a big disappointment after the Trojans went 2-3 with a pair of losses to Sacramento State, falling to 0-4 against the WAC this season. They break down USC baseball's up-and-down week that did feature a blowout victory over a top 20 UC Irvine team and a late-inning rally from a 10-5 deficit to snag a victory. The Trojans' inconsistent week saw them go back and forth from a proficient offense that capitalized on extra opportunities given by opponents to one that reverted back to its early-season woes of too many strikeouts and inability to come through in the clutch. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the 2-3 week with each providing three things up, including Austin Overn and experimentation, as well as three negatives from the week, including a struggling Jacob Galloway and a gaudy win-loss record for Tyler Stromsborg. The podcasting duo also take a look at where USC stands, breaking down what has become a quagmire of seven teams within two and a half games of each other in the middle of the Pac-12 standings. They also look forward to the upcoming week of action that has the Trojans slated to play four road games against traditional powers that are no longer playing like perennial juggernauts, Cal State Fullerton and Arizona State.

With D'Anton Lynn at the helm, the new-look USC defense secured four interceptions including a 100-yard pick-six and three-straight drives ending in interceptions in the first half. Coach Hyde thought the Coliseum looked great on Saturday afternoon with beautiful weather, turf in pristine condition and everything looking perfect. When the game started he was happy to see the offense huddle up to get the plays in with helmet communication now allowed per NCAA rules. He wasn't as happy to see the game not feature live tackling and instead defenders would "thud" the offensive players instead of tackling them to the ground. Coach doesn't feel you can get a true game speed evaluation when there is no live tackling and you can't see if the tackling has improved at all because you just aren't running at a full speed pace like you would in a real game. Overall he felt the defense played more to defend the pass than the run since there was no tackling allowed and the offensive play calling was more skewed towards passing than running. The secondary and linebackers were able to play more coverage and so it makes it hard to evaluate their performance when they aren't as worried about coming up to support the run. Coach liked how the offensive line blocked in pass protection, but again it just wasn't a real life game situation when you aren't including the physicality of the run game. The secondary did stand out with four interceptions and coach loved how they were always around the football. It just looked like the players were better coached, not leaving guys wide open and forcing the offense to make contested catches. CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's off-season emphasis on defense and Andy Enfield leaving for SMU
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the latest news and notes from USC football spring practices and on the basketball side with head coach Andy Enfield leaving for SMU and the USC women's basketball team making a run to the Elite 8 with a potential Final Four appearance on the line. The guys start off the show talking about the breaking news that Enfield was departing from USC and taking over the SMU basketball program, leaving a future Big Ten job for a future ACC job. Coach thinks that this move is good for both sides, with Enfield getting an opportunity to start fresh with a big contract and USC able to move on from someone who recruited at a higher level than he won and try to raise the basketball program to the next level. They also talk about the women's team where head coach Lindsay Gottlieb and star freshman Juju Watkins have advanced to the Elite 8 with a chance to take down UConn and go to the school's first Final Four since the 1980's. Coach thinks the women are catching fire and there is no reason why they can't get back to the glory days of the program where they were competing for national championships. The guys shift gears back to football, talking about the renewed emphasis on the defensive side of the ball from head coach Lincoln Riley . Coach Hyde likes the moves that have been made for the defensive staff and how the players, especially the defensive linemen, have transformed their bodies and even the push to recruit more highly ranked defensive prospects, but he wants to know why now? What changed? Hyde thinks that it is great Riley is getting more involved in the defense because as the head coach, it isn't the defensive coordinator's defense, it's yours. The head coach has to be a part of the entire program, not just the offense, and Coach Hyde loves that this is happening now for the Trojans. The days of just outscoring people are over, USC is going to try and stop some people as well. Better late than never. They also talk about a couple of offensive additions, with a commitment from three-star 2024 Tustin (Calif.) walk-on quarterback Jack Stupin and three-star running back from Southlake (Texas) Carroll Riley Wormley .

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's NCAA tournament selection and their potential tournament run, which will begin at the Galen Center Saturday at 1:30 p.m. PDT against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. They also look at the final week of action for the USC Trojan men, who needed to make an NC State-esque run through the Pac-12 Tournament to win a spot in the NCAA tournament, but instead couldn't buy a bucket in a blowout loss to Arizona to end the season. Shotgun and Connor wrap up the disappointing men's season and talk about how different the roster will look next year with at least half the team expected to exit with Boogie Ellis, DJ Rodman and Joshua Morgan out of eligibility; Isaiah Collier expected to depart to be a first-round draft pick; and Kijani Wright, Oziyah Sellers and walk-on Zach Brooker already having entered the NCAA transfer portal. They also provide an NCAA transfer portal wish list of what they'd like to see the Trojans try to add to their roster this offseason. The Women of Troy enter the NCAA tournament No. 3 in the final Associated Press poll of the season, their highest ranking in the final top 25 poll since Cheryl Miller was on campus. The Trojans also earned the No. 3 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and received a favorable bracket despite Ohio State being the No. 2 seed and Connecticut being the No. 3 seed in USC's Portland 3 Regional. After a short break, Shotgun and Connor preview the upcoming matchup and potential matchups for the Women of Troy this weekend at the Galen Center, including a Texas A&M-Corpus Christi team that may be a No. 16-seed, but could challenge USC with its defense, one of the nation's best in field goal percentage defense and three-point percentage defense.

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the fourth week of action in the 2024 season, including the opening Pac-12 Conference series. Again, it was a week where USC baseball showed glimpses of the team it can be, but ultimately struggled to get in the win column. They break down USC's 2-3 extended week, which included a 'home' series loss to Arizona where the Trojans were blown out in the first two games and then got an electric outing from junior starting pitcher Eric Hammond in the series finale to salvage the weekend. Hammond joins the Dedeaux Download Podcast to discuss how he was able to rebound from a poor start in his home state of Texas to produce the best start of his career. He also talks about his decision to commit to USC and what the Trojans have to do to turn around a season on the rails. After the visit with Hammond, Shotgun and Jack look at where the Trojans stand and go three up, three down in a new segment looking at three positives and three negatives from the recent action.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Women of Troy win Pac-12 Tournament; men knock off No. 5 Arizona
The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's run through the Pac-12 Tournament gauntlet by outlasting Arizona, beating No. 7 UCLA in double overtime and dominating No. 2 Stanford in the championship game to win their first conference tournament title since 2014. They also look at the men's version of the Trojans winning three straight games, including ending the regular season with a bang by picking up their first top-five win since 2008. The Women of Troy move up to No. 3, earning their first top-three ranking in the Associated Press top 25 poll since Cheryl Miller was on campus 38 years prior. The Trojans are No. 10 in the NET rankings after claiming two more wins over teams in the top 10 of the NET rankings, but they likely will be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament after their march to the title in the final Pac-12 Tournament. The men's team moved up in the seeding for their edition of the Pac-12 Tournament after a pair of wins over the Arizona schools, including a win over No. 5 Arizona that ended up pushing the Trojans into a three-way tie for the No. 9 spot. USCFootball.com women's basketball beat writer Ahmad Akkaoui joins the show to discuss the atmosphere in the MGM Garden Arena throughout the women's Pac-12 Tournament and talk about where he's seen Lindsay Gottlieb's squad grow throughout the season while covering the Women of Troy. He discusses the support USC's roles players and reserves have provided for star freshman JuJu Watkins, who scored a career-worst nine points in the championship game while drawing attention that allowed her teammates to thrive. After a short break, Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including the continued positive impact Kayla Williams is making off the Women of Troy bench and the big strides forward Rayah Marshall has made in the last few weeks. They also give Pac-12 Tournament Most Outstanding Player McKenzie Forbes her flowers after a 26-point performance in the championship game and discuss a very cool move from Watkins to spread the love to her teammates. The podcasting duo also takes a look at how the USC men were able to dominate a game against No. 5 Arizona despite being outrebounded, behind the all-around performances of Kobe Johnson and DJ Rodman. Their play has really opened things up for the Trojans, who are shooting free throws and defending at a clip better than they have done all season. Shotgun and Connor also look forward to this week's men's Pac-12 Tournament where the Trojans will take on Washington at noon on Wednesday with the winner advancing to face top-seed Arizona Thursday at noon.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: USC assistant Andy Jenkins joins the show to talk about what the Trojans have to do to fix their woes
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down the third week of action in the 2024 season -- one where USC baseball showed glimpses of the team it can be, but ultimately struggled to get in the win column. They break down USC's 1-4 extended week, which included three losses against top 10 opponents where the Trojans had leads in all three games. One of the big issues in USC's losses during the week and throughout the season has been their inability to play complimentary ball. Shotgun breaks down the Trojans' issues with getting shutdown innings after they score runs with the Trojans having only four 1-2-3 innings the half inning after scoring this season. USC assistant coach Andy Jenkins joins the Dedeaux Download Podcast to discuss how the coaching staff is trying to jumpstart a talented team that isn't playing with a ton of confidence after getting out of the gates slow. He talks about how the team has to continue to put in the hard work to be able to fix their problems and get the results they are looking for. Jenkins also breaks down his role on the staff as the third paid assistant, a position the NCAA just allowed for the first time this offseason, and his journey to arrive at USC after being a part of the group that helped kickstart Oregon State's program into a consistent College World Series contender and then starting his coaching career at his alma mater. After the visit with Jenkins, Shotgun and Jack look at where the Trojans stand and their woeful offensive statistics. Jack provides some breaking injury news as a key contributor looks to be out for an extended time going forward. The podcasting duo also look ahead to the upcoming week of action where the Trojans begin Pac-12 play against Arizona. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Ranking USC's transfer class in order of impact plus the removal of NIL rules
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the latest news and notes around the USC football program and discussing the newest major changes to the college football landscape. This offseason has been the most impactful in college football history with many of the historical NCAA rules getting shot down by the courts, the death of the Pac-12, blueblood programs switching conferences and Nick Saban retiring, leading to an extended coaching carousel that impacted football at all levels. The latest court ruling has essentially removed any and all Name, Image and Likeness rules from the NCAA, allowing collectives to provide any incentives that they want to players and prospects and the NCAA can't do anything about it. The USC athletic department was one of the few programs following those now illegal rules, so we talk about how this could impact the Trojans recruiting efforts going forward. The guys also take a look at USC's transfer portal class and rank all of the incoming players by potential impact on the 2024 roster.

They break down USC's 2-2 week, which included the Trojans falling to 0-5 on the season before getting a walk-off win on an Ethan Hedges ninth-inning drive to the wall to beat Portland, 6-5. USC then built on its momentum the next day with a 10-4 win to take the series from a solid Pilots squad.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Women of Troy get big road sweep; assistant Jay Morris discusses what men need to get hot late
The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's road sweep of the Oregon schools as well as the up and down week for the men's basketball team where the Trojans held off Utah with a big block by Joshua Morgan to deny the game-tying layup attempt and then a double-overtime loss to Colorado that saw the Trojans blow a 16-point lead in the final 10 minutes and not be able to stop a game-tying attempt at the rim. The Women of Troy climbed to No. 7 in the Associated Press top 25 poll and at No. 11 in the NET rankings. They also landed as the No. 9 overall seed (a No. 3 regional seed) in the NCAA's first unveiling of the projected top 16 seeds after defeating Oregon and Oregon State thanks to a pair of dynamic first-quarter starts. The Trojans move into a three-way tie for second place in the Pac-12 standings before hosting Utah and Colorado this week. The men's team moved out of a last-place tie with Oregon State in the conference standings after its win over Utah, but wasn't able to pull up to the back bumper of Washington after their double-overtime loss. USC men's assistant coach Jay Morris joins the show to discuss what the Trojans have to do to get all the pieces fit together as they try to build up to playing their best basketball at the end of the season, leading into the Pac-12 Tournament. He also talks about getting successful elements from practice to translate to games and the frustration when that doesn't happen. After the break, Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including Boogie Ellis' breakthrough against Colorado. They also discuss the continued heightened play of Isaiah Collier, who has a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio since returning from injury after having a career-high nine assists with only one turnover against Colorado. They also take a look at another quiet week from Bronny James with the biggest news coming not from his play but from something said by his father LeBron James. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: Why it's not yet time to panic after Trojans fall flat in MLB Desert Invitational
Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return with another episode of the Dedeaux Download Podcast to open the 2024 regular season. They break down USC baseball's disappointing opening weekend where the Trojans went winless in the MLB Desert Invitational in Arizona, falling to BYU (8-1), Grand Canyon (8-1) and Ohio State (5-2). The Trojans managed only 12 hits and four runs on the weekend with Jacob Galloway supplying nearly half of that output himself in one of the lone bright spots for the offense. USC struck out 31 times in three games and struggled mightily when it got runners on base, going just 2 for 34 (.059), and were even worse with runners in scoring position, going 1 for 25 (.040). But the offense wasn't the only area of concern for the Trojans. The pitching allowed 19 walks, and the defense committed six errors. Shotgun and Jack break down all the action from the 0-3 opening weekend, assess the current concern level for the Trojans and look forward to the upcoming week of action that has the Trojans slated to play five games with midweek contests against UC San Diego and Loyola Marymount before hosting Portland this weekend at Great Park in Irvine.

Coach Harvey Hyde gives his thoughts on the new USC defensive coaching staff
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the recent USC football press conference where head coach Lincoln Riley introduced the new members of the defensive coaching staff, defensive coordinator D’Anton Lynn , defensive line coach Eric Henderson , linebackers coach Matt Entz and secondary coach Doug Belk . Coach Hyde starts off the show talking about how impressed he was with these new coaches and thought the press conference was the best one USC has had since Riley arrived at Troy. He loved how they were able to talk about their coaching philosophies as well as why they decided to leave good jobs and become a Trojan assistant coach. The coaches all showed great football knowledge and provided honest answers about the potential of the defense while embracing the tradition of the program. Coach Hyde felt it was enlightening to hear four coaches talk about their players and what they are going to try and accomplish. Riley made a statement when he went out and hired a very qualified group of coaches with great defensive minds. Coaches that are not afraid to address the issues they face and how they want to teach defensive fundamentals that will create a team defense, not a bunch of individuals. They also recognized that having a better defense isn’t enough, they have to be able to give the offense looks in practice and make that side of the ball better as well. Coach Hyde feels that this defense will be fundamentally stronger with players understanding their assignments and the overall schemes better. They will be better coached with the proper knowledge to play and perform at high levels. Players will be taught and they will know what they need to do, enabling them to perform at full speed. Lynn said it best, explaining how he wants to teach the basics and start slow, allowing every player on the team to know what is expected of them. He also feels it is important to fit the scheme to the personnel and not the other way around. CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!

The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's home sweep of the Arizona schools as well as the deflating and then demoralizing trip to the Bay Area for the men's basketball team where the Trojans lost a winnable game in overtime and then got destroyed by more than 30 poitns. The Women of Troy remain at No. 10 in the Associated Press top 25 poll and at No. 16 in the NET rankings before the first unveiling of the projected top 16 seeds after defeating Arizona State and Arizona behind a pair of 30+ point performances from JuJu Watkins, who now has nine 30+ outings on the season. The Trojans remain tied for fourth in the Pac-12 standings before a challenging trip to Eugene and Corvallis. The men's team remains in the cellar, tied with Oregon State for last place in the conference standings. Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at JuJu Watkins' elite free throw shooting. They also discuss the return of Isaiah Collier, who took over in the second half of the matchup against California, carrying the team down the stretch. They also take a look at a quiet week from Bronny James despite a loud rumor about his father LeBron James. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they try to recover from a Stanford game where they gave up a 25-0 run with home matchups against Utah and Colorado, who have struggled on the road this season. The Women of Troy will head to Oregon to take on the Ducks and the Beavers in their arenas. After the break, senior guard Kayla Padilla joins the show to discuss her transition from being the Ivy League's leading scorer to being a facilitator and spot-up sniper for the Women of Troy. Padilla also talks about playing alongside former Ivy League rivals and beside stud freshman JuJu Watkins and tells us about what it means to play in front of her fellow Filipino-Americans in Los Angeles.

Dedeaux Download Podcast: Previewing USC baseball on the mound in 2024 with pitching coach Seth Etherton
The Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, returns with the 2024 college baseball season starting this week. Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return to preview what USC baseball is going to look like on the mound in Year 2 under the leadership of pitching coach and Trojans' legend Seth Etherton. After previewing the season's challenges and the team's hitting the last two weeks, the podcasting duo turn their focus to the sacred circle that is the pitcher’s mound to dive into what the Trojans have on the pitching side. Similar to the offensive side, USC has a lot more options this season as the coaching staff has been able to build the depth of the squad. Shotgun and Jack also supply superlatives for the Trojan pitchers, giving their picks for the team's best pitcher, most impactful newcomer and breakout candidates among others. That all comes after Shotgun and Jack talk with USC pitching coach Seth Etherton about his group, which includes several experienced returners and simultaneously several exciting newcomers. Etherton discusses who he's most intrigued by and who could be poised for a breakout campaign. He also chats about the impact of having three starters returning and where each of those three -- Caden Aoki, Tyler Stromsborg and Eric Hammond -- have all improved their games. Among other players that are brought up, Etherton talks about the the impact CSUN transfer Xavier Martinez could have as a swing pitcher capable of filling a variety of roles on the staff and how freshman lefty Mason Edwards has pushed his way into potentially starting in the midweek.

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return to preview USC baseball's offensive attack heading into the second year under head coach Andy Stankiewicz and hitting coach Travis Jewett. The podcasting duo talk all things hitting with the position players taking center stage. They comb through the Trojans’ 2024 roster looking at what USC will have on the offensive side of the ball, going position by position to discuss the contenders to play for the Trojans this year.

Shotgun and Jack also supply superlatives for the Trojan bats, giving their picks for the team's best hitter, most impactful newcomer and breakout candidates among others. That all comes after the always energetic and enthusiastic Travis Jewett joins the Dedeaux Download to talk about the unique challenges the Trojans have to face this season as relative roaming gypsies with no home field.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: JuJu Watkins scores 51 points! + Chris Capko updates Isaiah Collier's status, talks cathartic breakthrough win
Co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) are back with another episode of the USC Triple-Double Podcast, and this week's episode is perhaps the longest yet. But when someone breaks the school scoring record, a podcast episode deserves to go a couple minutes longer. The co-hosts do a deep dive break down of the Women of Troy's road sweep in the Bay Area where freshman sensation JuJu Watkins became the first player in women's basketball this season to score 50+ points, setting a new USC record with 51 points in an upset of No. 4 Stanford. The Women of Troy jump five spots to No. 10 in the Associated Press top 25 poll after their defeat of the Cardinal and a come-from-behind-and-pull-away win in Berkeley over California. The Trojans also climbed in the Pac-12 standings, moving into a tie for fourth place with UCLA, and have a favorable schedule moving forward. The men's team avoiding falling into a two-game deficit in last place with a 28-point win over Oregon State to snap its lengthy losing streak. Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at all the standout numbers from Watkins' 51-point effort and celebrating everything that accompanied the record-breaking performance. They also discuss Collier's return to a team that seems to be having the most fun it's had in a long time and spotlight the elevated play of Bronny James, particularly with the ball in his hands when he had 13 assists to two turnovers last week. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they try to carry their momentum on the road as they try to follow the women's lead and look for their own Bay Area sweep. The Women of Troy will host the Arizona schools at home where they'll have to avoid a letdown from their excellent road trip. That's all after USC men's associate head coach Chris Capko graciously takes the time to join the show for an in-depth interview about the Trojans finally breaking free from a five-game losing streak amid improved play from young guards Oziyah Sellers and Boogie Ellis. Capko also updates the status of freshman point guard Isaiah Collier, who has missed the last six games, and when he could from a broken hand. Collier's return could potentially bring USC back to full strength for the final nine games of the regular season. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC preparing to enter a new world of Big Ten football
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about all of the latest news and notes surrounding the USC football program. The traditional signing day will not be very exciting for the Trojans but there have been some moves on the staff plus Coach Hyde talks a lot about what head coach Lincoln Riley needs to do to get the program ready to join the Big Ten. The guys start off talking about the staff with Kliff Kingsbury reportedly withdrawing his name from the Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator job. USC also added a new defensive analyst to the staff with Skyler Jones coming over from Oregon to work alongside defensive line coach Eric Henderson as a defensive analyst. Jones was with the Ducks last year and worked with Henderson at the Rams in 2022. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on the high profile coaches added to the defensive staff and how the power dynamic could work. Coach also gives his thoughts on the Big Ten and SEC coming to an agreement and how this could eventually set up its own association that would take over some of the NCAA duties and govern the powers of college football separately. Who does Coach Hyde think would be the best person to run the new organization? None other than former Alabama head coach Nick Saban . Looking ahead to joining the Big Ten conference Coach Hyde talks about the landscape with powers like Ohio State and Michigan, the dropoff after those two programs and how the Pac-12 could stack up top to bottom with the Big Ten. He feels that USC needs to go in without being intimidated and have confidence the Trojans can compete like they have in the Rose Bowl against Big Ten powers over the years. Coach also had a good idea for a way Riley can get some good intel on his new conference, befriend new Charges head coach Jim Harbaugh . Coach thinks Riley and Harbaugh can exchange ideas and help each other now that he is in the NFL and in the same city. They end the show with Coach Hyde talking about UNLV transfer quarterback Jayden Maiava and how he should be a good fit in the offense as a backup to Miller Moss . Coach says he is big, strong, talented but not ready to play in the Big Ten yet. He has a lot of potential but feels USC needs to bring him along slowly.

Dedeaux Download: USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz previews Trojans' road warrior 2024 season
The Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, returns after a lengthy hiatus as the college baseball season approaches. Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith are back to break down the latest news and developments around the USC baseball program, including the big 'groundbreaking' 'development' on the west side of campus where Dedeaux Field is being torn down and rebuilt, leaving the Trojans without a home field for the 2024 (and likely 2025) seasons. The podcasting duo look at the different angles of a season on the road and how that will be a major hurdle for a team that had a ton of momentum after an outstanding first season under head coach Andy Stankiewicz. They also take a look back to the 2023 season to assess what went well, where the Trojans are set up for success in 2024 and where they'll have to make improvements in their final Pac-12 season. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz then joins the Dedeaux Download to talk about the unique challenges the Trojans will have this season and how his team is approaching it...with an 'open-door policy' (though maybe not the type you are thinking). He also discusses the foundation built last season and how his team can build off of that this year Stankiewicz provides updates on some potential breakout candidates for the season as well as what newcomers could make an immediate impact and discusses what areas he's still looking to learn more about his team. He is also asked about dual-sport athlete Duce Robinson and where he stands after joining the baseball team in January after a strong freshman campaign with Lincoln Riley and the football team. Robinson will face some stiff competition for playing time as Stankiewicz is looking forward to having more depth on both sides of the ball, but with that comes a lot of extra decision making that he'll have to do.

The constantly changing world of NIL with states AGs now suing the NCAA
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio following up on their conversation with USC athletic director Jen Cohen about the Trojans NIL efforts. The guys talk about the current state of NIL for the Trojans and the ever changing landscape Cohen talked about in our interview, with the attorney generals from Virginia and Tennessee now suing the NCAA alleging that their restrictions on high school or NCAA Transfer Portal players receiving compensation from collectives is illegal. The NCAA has attempted to put "guardrails" around NIL compensation and players ability to transfer and every time it does the courts have got involved. This latest lawsuit would allow schools to use NIL as an inducement for recruits and transfers, a practice currently not allowed according to the NCAA. USC is one of the programs that has followed all of the NCAA rules when it comes to NIL compensation being used as an inducement in the recruiting process. If these lawsuits are successful and the NCAA drops the inducement rule, it would open up the door for the Trojans to attempt to play the same game some of their rivals are playing. The guys also talk about the Trojan football coaches hitting the recruiting trail hard with the new defensive staff really picking things up quickly.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: A fiery Lindsay Gottlieb talks about the Women of Troy bouncing back after lackluster showing vs. Washington
The USC Triple-Double Podcast returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the Women of Troy's home split against the Washington schools where the Trojans looked good for a half, terrible for two halves, good for a quarter and then not good enough for a final quarter. They also look at USC men's basketball's trying to break free from a five-game losing streak. The Women of Troy remain slid four spots to No. 15 in the Associated Press top 25 poll after their loss to Washington. It is the lowest ranking for the Trojans since the first in-season poll was released. The struggles for the men's team continued as the Trojans lost the first iteration of the Crosstown Showdown to a UCLA team that has had similar woes as USC but seems to be improving as the stretch run of the season nears. Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at JuJu Watkins' shooting and efficiency, discussing the possibility of Isaiah Collier sitting out longer than anticipated and focusing the spotlight on Bronny James who did not start for the first time in three weeks with Boogie Ellis returning to the starting lineup. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they prepare the Galen Center for battles with Oregon and Oregon State, who both defeated the Trojans earlier this season, while the Women of Troy get ready for a huge road trip. USC women's head coach Lindsay Gottlieb joins the show to discuss the road trip to her old stomping grounds as the Trojans take on her former rival, Stanford and Tara VanDerveer, and her former squad at Cal, but more importantly, a fired-up Gottlieb discusses what the Women of Troy have to do to bounce back after a lackluster performance against Washington led to a disappointing loss. She discusses how the offense gets back on track and what the coaching staff is doing to monitor star freshman JuJu Watkins' usage levels.

The Women of Troy remain jumped up to No. 6 in the Associated Press top 25 poll after their big Crosstown Showdown victory, but have no time to rest on their laurels with another huge Pac-12 week coming up.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Assistant Jay Morris joins the show to discuss the recent surge for Trojan men while Women of Troy prepare for rematch against No. 2 UCLA
The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the first basketball-only podcast to be a part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down an undefeated week for the USC men's and women's basketball teams. USC men's assistant coach Jay Morris joins the show to discuss what has led to the Trojans' recent surge and what they will have to do to continue playing well. He also discusses his path to becoming an assistant at USC and how his Southern California roots are used on the recruiting trail. The Women of Troy remain ranked No. 9 after a pair of wins over the Oregon schools last week. They were able to hold off three last-second attempts from Oregon State to win 56-54, handing the Beavers their first loss of the season, and then USC was able to finish on an 18-5 run against Oregon to pull away for a 14-point win. The men's team has its first winning streak since November after defeating both of the Bay Area schools last week at the Galen Center. The Trojans played some of their best offensive basketball of their season, sharing the basketball for high assist totals whilst rarely turning the ball over. Coincidentally, Kobe Johnson and Isaiah Collier seemed to break out of some winter malaise that had struck both guards. Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including looking closely at former No. 1 overall recruits JuJu Watkins and Isaiah Collier, focusing the spotlight on Bronny James and looking at exactly where the Trojans stand statistically and in the standings. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they complete their three-game home swing on Wednesday against Washington State before taking off on a potentially make-or-break road trip to Colorado and the Arizona schools while the Women of Troy prepare for their Sunday rematch with the No. 2 UCLA two weeks after falling to the Bruins at Pauley Pavilion.

The Helium Boys Podcast is back once more with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino returning behind the mics to wrap up the 2023 USC football season with end-of-season awards following the Trojans' 8-5 campaign that started with so much promise and a 6-0 start before a stunning decline in the second half of the season saw them lose five of six to end the regular season. Before getting to the 2023 honorees, the episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' as each Helium Boy goes off the cuff for two minutes about the national championship game after Michigan was able to defeat Washington in the College Football Playoff finale to conclude the 2023 college football season. The duo then discusses the biggest news of the week for the Trojans as fourth-year junior offensive lineman Jonah Monheim is set to return to USC after having thoughts and considerations about entering the pool of 2024 NFL Draft talents. They break down what Monheim's return means for the offensive line in 2024 and why that gives offensive line coach Josh Henson a lot more options. The Helium Boys then wrap up the 2023 season with the end-of-season awards labeling not only the MVP and offensive/defensive players of the year but also the top freshman, lineman, coach and a number of other categories of season superlatives. Shotgun and Chris also answer your questions from Twitter discussing the cornerback group the Trojans will have during the 2024 season, college football video games, alien encounters and the Trojans' early enrollees that just arrived on campus this week.

USC Triple-Double Podcast: Breaking down the Women of Troy's first loss of the season and USC men's basketball being at a critical juncture after losing four of five.
The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the first basketball-only podcast to be a part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the the last couple of weeks action from the USC men's and women's basketball teams. The Women of Troy are ranked No. 9 after suffering their first loss of the season, having too many cold stretches against No. 2 UCLA in the first iteration of the Crosstown Showdown this season. The Trojans entered the game undefeated despite missing multiple key players each of the previous couple of games. The men's team has finally got to full strength with the addition of Bronny James back to the mix after he missed the team's first eight games as he continued to recover and rehab following a cardiac arrest this summer. However, the addition of James hasn't been an automatic fix for the ills of the 7-7 Trojans. Shotgun and Connor break down all the latest action for both teams, including the impact James has made as he shakes off the rust, before looking at where the Trojan squads stand both record and stat wise through the first two months of the season. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the recent USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead. For the men, they continue a critical three-game home swing while the Women of Troy take on another undefeated team Friday evening.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham is in studio joined remotely by Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette talking about USC's huge Holiday Bowl win over Louisville with offensive MVP Miller Moss setting a Trojan bowl record with six touchdown passes in the 42-28 victory. With only 52 scholarship players available due to the transfer portal and opt-outs, Lincoln Riley's crew played one of their better games of the season, blocking well, tackling better and airing the ball out with Moss and a host of mostly young receivers. The Trojans scored 42 points on just 52 plays and Moss lit it up completing 23 of his 33 attempts for 372 passing yards, 6 touchdowns and one interception. Tahj Washington in his final game in a USC uniform went over 1,000 yards for the season with his 7 catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns. Freshmen receiver Ja'Kobi Lane had 3 catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns and Kyron Hudson and Duce Robinson each had a touchdown grab.

The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino behind the microphones as USC continues to get ready for next week's Holiday Bowl. But that seems ages away during this time of year when news stories are popping off multiple times every day with the Trojans' roster being overturned with high school and transfer commitments as well as de-commitments, players entering their names into the NCAA transfer portal and coaches on the move in both directions.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's defensive staff hires and major transfer portal additions and departures
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about all of the latest news and notes surrounding the USC football program. It's mid December and the Trojan football team is gearing up for an important Holiday Bowl clash with Louisville from the ACC, but right now most of the focus is on the future with major changes happening to both the coaching staff and the roster. After head coach Lincoln Riley fired defensive coordinator Alex Grinch with two games left in the regular season, the writing was on the wall that this defensive staff was going to get a major makeover. Riley started off with the bold move to hire UCLA DC D'Anton Lynn to come down the 10 Freeway and take over as USC's defensive coordinator. Next Riley targeted Matt Entz , the head coach of North Dakota State who won multiple national championships at the FCS level, to coach linebackers. The latest move was to snag Houston defensive coordinator Doug Belk to join the staff and coach the Trojans secondary, taking the place of Donte Williams who is heading to Georgia for the same role. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on all of these additions to the staff and if he feels these coaches could help make the Trojans a contender heading into the Big Ten next season. There have also been some major attrition on the roster heading into the bowl game with former five-stars like quarterback Malachi Nelson , running back Raleek Brown and cornerback Domani Jackson entering the NCAA Transfer Portal. With Nelson in the portal Riley needs to bring in a quarterback and right now the favorite in the clubhouse appears to be Will Howard from Kansas State, who took an official visit to USC over the weekend. The Trojans also added former Oregon State safety Akili Arnold and linebacker Easton Mascarenas-Arnold to the roster along with Vanderbilt defensive lineman Nate Clifton . Coach Hyde says they need to take the bowl game seriously to end the season on a high note, unlike what happened last year. With opt-outs and transfers, Hyde really wants team players out there who can put the team first so they can play like hell and get a much needed victory. He's also very happy for Miller Moss getting his first start. Moss has been loyal Trojan, he wants to be at USC and deserves this start. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

USC Triple-Double: Lindsay Gottlieb joins the show to talk about the No. 6 Women of Troy while Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette react to Bronny James' debut amidst another loss for the USC men.
The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down the most recent action from the USC men's and women's basketball teams, including the debut of Bronny James amidst another loss for the Trojans. The undefeated Women of Troy remain ranked No. 6 this week after obliterating another mid-major opponent. The men's team is currently on an opposite trajectory having lost three of its last four games, blowing a 17-point lead in a loss to Long Beach State. But first, a special guest joins the show as USC women’s head coach Lindsay Gottlieb comes on to discuss the Trojans' 8-0 start and how they are trying to practice with an eye toward the future as they face off with some lighter opponents than what they will encounter in Pac-12 play. Gottlieb also talks about the impact the three Ivy League grad transfers -- Kayla Padilla, McKenzie Forbes and Kaitlyn Davis -- have had while seamlessly transitioning into new roles than they may have had at their former schools. She also discusses JuJu Watkins' most impressive feat on the court so far this season. Shotgun and Connor then break down the debut of Bronny James, who finished with four points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 16 minutes in front of his father LeBron James and a packed Galen Center. The podcasting duo also look at the positives and negatives of the last week of USC basketball action from both squads and look forward to the next week to preview what lies ahead.

Discussing Lincoln Riley's defensive staff makeover as the transfer portal action heats up
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about what head coach Lincoln Riley is doing to upgrade his staff on the defensive side of the ball. Riley's first big move was to poach the defensive coordinator from crosstown rival UCLA, bringing over D'Anton Lynn to run the Trojans defense. Another power move by Riley was snagging North Dakota State head coach Matt Entz to be USC's linebacker coach and associate head coach for the defense. Entz has served as the Bison head coach since 2019, winning two national titles at the FCS level. The NCAA Transfer Portal is wide open and the action has been fast and furious. The guys talk about some of the players that have entered the portal from the USC side, the pickups made by the Trojans and what other players could be targets to improve this roster going forward. Bowl preparation is in full swing with the Trojans ready to face off against Louisville in the Holiday Bowl on December 27 in San Diego. There has only been one practice where players were made available but the guys talk about what new QB1 Miller Moss had to say heading into the game. They also talk about the new buzz around the USC basketball program with Bronny James making his debut in the Galen Center on Sunday. The Trojans fell in overtime to Long Beach State, however, spoiling what was an electric atmosphere with everyone coming out to see the son of the NBA's all-time scoring leader LeBron James play.

The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino behind the microphones as USC continues to get ready for the Holiday Bowl, which is now two weeks away. While the Trojans haven't taken the field for a game, that doesn't mean there hasn't been news in the jam-packed month of December with the transfer portal whirring in both directions across the nation, the Early Signing Period coming in a week, coaches on the move and players announcing their intentions to enter the NFL Draft and/or skip their teams' bowl game. Shotgun and Chris break down all the latest happenings around the land of Troy. The Helium Boys episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' with each Helium Boy being given the freedom to go in any direction. Shotgun leads off with the power move of USC hiring away North Dakota State national champion head coach Matt Entz to be its linebacker coach. In the holiday spirit (or because of his slowly recovering vocal cords), Shotgun evens does the improbable and 'gifts' some of his two minutes to his podcasting partner. Chris goes down a different avenue with his two minutes, discussing The Peristyle Shop and the latest addition, Helium Boys merchandise . The podcasting duo follow with a deeper look at the hire of Entz and what it means for the Trojans and the defensive staff going forward. They lay out how it is a beneficial situation for everyone involved and contemplate the culture shock of the move from Fargo, ND to Los Angeles, CA for the Entz family. The Helium Boys then discuss the upcoming Holiday Bowl and debate how the coaching staff should/will approach the game with stars like Caleb Williams, Brenden Rice and MarShawn Lloyd already declaring for the draft and/or announcing their intentions to skip the bowl game. The Helium Boys then answer your questions from Twitter discussing how much the USC defense could improve in 2024 under D'Anton Lynn as well as what staff will be helping him try to achieve those improvements.

Helium Boys Podcast: Reacting to the Trojans' 38-20 loss to rival UCLA in Crosstown Showdown and looking ahead at USC's defensive coordinator search.
The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino back behind the microphones to react to USC's abysmal showing in a 38-20 rivalry loss to UCLA in the Trojans final Pac-12 game. Over 108 minutes, the Helium Boys break down the lackluster showing in the Crosstown Showdown that left them feeling like parents that are more disappointed than angry after a child's misdeeds and left the Trojans with a 7-5 record. The Helium Boys episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' as each gives his initial reactions to the Trojans' loss to UCLA and the biggest things that stood out, including the continuation of the same story that has been seen throughout the season with an additional subplot of constantly giving the ball back to UCLA. In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the podcasting duo discuss who/what impressed, including Brenden Rice playing angry and collecting his fifth career 100-yard game, freshman defensive lineman Elijah Hughes getting his most extended run of the season and the Superman efforts of Caleb Williams that we've likely seen for the last time in cardinal and gold. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend with USC continuing to have tackling woes on defense and struggling to block up front on the offensive side. Shotgun also poses the question to Chris of which offseason slogan was the worst between the 2012 team's "Prep, Not Hype" and 2023's "The longer it goes, the better we get." They also get diverted and go down a rabbit hole on the Pop Tart Bowl and end up having to present their favorite flavors. Throughout the show, Chris and Shotgun also look forward at USC's impending hire of a defensive coordinator and some of the things the new coach is going to have to address immediately. The Helium Boys then answer your questions from Twitter and Instagram discussing areas/players where USC regressed, how the transfer portal will reshape the Trojans' roster this offseason, preferred offensive systems and whether Jim Leonhard could be "Grinch-like." They also break down their three favorite holidays. Then during the overtime portion of the 'Take It or Leave It' section, Chris questions Shotgun on celebrity Thanksgiving guests and their side dishes of choice.

Coach Harvey Hyde says the party is over for USC and major changes are needed immediately
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about USC's 38-20 loss to UCLA in the Coliseum, closing out what was a once promising college football season in the most disappointing way possible. The Trojans were preseason ranked No. 5 and started off winning their first six games and didn't trail for the first five. Since then USC lost to both of its rivals in uncompetitive games, went 1-5 and once again sported one of the worst defenses in the country. There was great anticipation heading into the 2023 college football season, but it ended up being very difficult to endure and ended on a terrible note with an uncompetitive loss to UCLA. Coach Hyde says the party's over now, Santa Claus didn’t bring any gifts and there is no easy way to make sense of it all. He feels major changes are needed and they are needed immediately, not just with the defensive coordinator but how the entire coaching staff is structured, how recruiting is handled, the overall football philosophy, the entire package. Losing to the Bruins and gaining only three rushing yards is inexcusable. It was the last chance for this team to have some positivity heading into the bowl game and while most Trojan fans anticipated a victory over this UCLA squad that had scored 17 points total in its last two games, that didn’t happen. No bragging rights. No Victory Bell. No momentum going into a bowl game. The defense obviously needs fixing but there are issues on offense and special teams as well. Coach feels the team was dominated on both lines and that is where football games are won, in the trenches. Caleb Williams is a special player but there was far too much pressure on him to succeed. He needs help from the line, the skill players and the coaching staff since he isn’t forced to do everything on his own. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Tunnel Vision: Trojans no-show against the Bruins to end the season on a dreadful 1-5 run
On the latest edition of Tunnel Vision, USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Jack Smith are back in studio trying to make sense of an absolute dreadful performance by the Trojans, falling to their rival Bruins 38-20 in a game where it appeared USC wasn't even interested in playing. UCLA had control from the get-go, taking an early 14-0 lead with USC turning it over on downs, punting, fumbling and throwing an interception on its first four possessions. After starting off the season No 5 in the country and getting out of the gates with a 6-0 start, the Trojans have lost five of their last six games and showed almost no signs of life in the two rivalry games against Notre Dame and UCLA. The USC defense has now allowed 419 points on the season, the most ever in Trojan football history. Once again they allowed opponents to hit high water marks with Ethan Garbers throwing his career high in touchdown passes (3) and T.J. Harden with his career high in rushing attempts and yards (22 for 142). It wasn't just the defense that cracked against UCLA, the offense only had three (3) rushing yards and three turnovers while the special teams missed a short field goal, had a kickoff out of bounds and took a bad penalty on a kickoff return that set up a UCLA touchdown. The guys talk about what a disappointing season it has been, if that was the last we've seen of Caleb Williams , where the Trojans could go bowling and lots more.

USC Triple-Double: Lindsay Gottlieb joins the show to talk JuJu Watkins, Trojan hoops' hot start & top 10 recruiting class while Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette break down how USC women's and men's basketball have performed to start the 2023-24 season.
On the debut episode of the USC Triple-Double -- the first basketball-only podcast to be a part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows -- Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) break down the hot starts of the Trojans' men's and women's basketball teams on the debut episode of the USC Triple-Double Podcast. Both USC hoops squads are ranked with the Women of Troy coming in at No. 10 this week, earning their first top 10 ranking in nearly 30 years, while the men were ranked No. 16 after a 2-0 start to the season but are likely to slide in the next rankings release after losing to UC Irvine, 70-60, on Tuesday. But that loss came with some extenuating circumstances, which the triple-double team break down. But first, a special guest joins the show as USC women's basketball head coach Lindsay Gottlieb comes on to talk about her fabulous freshman sensation JuJu Watkins, who is fourth in the nation in scoring averaging 28.3 points per game after the first 10 days of the season. Gottlieb discusses her teams' hot start and how expectations are adjusted after the Trojans defeated then-No. 7 Ohio State in the season opener in Las Vegas. She also talks about the next wave of stars USC landed with a top 10 recruiting class. Shotgun and Connor then recap the start of the season for both Trojan teams, which began with a day-night USC hoops doubleheader sweep in Las Vegas over a pair of Elite Eight teams. Gottlieb's team landed a top 10 upset over the Buckeyes while the men took down a shorthanded Kansas State squad. The triple-double hosts also take a look at Gottlieb's versatile recuiting class. The hosts then look at where the Trojan squads stand both record and stat wise after 10 days. They also discuss the upcoming week of action for the USC teams with the women heading to the Bahamas to participate in an early-season tournament while the men hope for a 'Get Right' game.

Last hurrah for USC's football season with UCLA coming to the Coliseum
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about the Trojans failed trip to the Pacific Northwest, falling to Oregon 36 to 27. USC football has now lost 4 of its last 5 games and are looking to take down UCLA on Saturday to salvage the season. There isn't much more to say about the trip to Eugene, just another failure to take down a ranked opponent for USC. The defense was able to make some adjustments and stop the explosive running game, but in doing so it allowed Bo Nix and the Ducks passing attack to go wild and put up historic numbers. Looking ahead to the regular season finale against the Bruins, the Trojans morale cannot be very high coming into this rivalry game, but UCLA's morale could be even lower with the news breaking this week that head coach Chip Kelly will likely be fired after this game, regardless of the outcome. While the difference between 7-5 and 8-4 isn't huge, especially considering this team was ranked No. 5 heading into the season, getting a win over a rival is still important and with the Trojans not having won a bowl game since the 2017 Rose Bowl, getting a better bowl game and playing well in the post season should be a priority. The guys talk about how Lincoln Riley and this team needs to do some major self reflection during the offseason and make sure to fix everything that is broken, including the obvious defensive problems and the less obvious special teams issues (SP+ has USC ranked dead last in FBS in special teams). Having an elite offense can only take a team so far, and when you are historically bad in two of the three phases of the game disappointing seasons like this one are inevitable. They also talk a little USC men's and women's hoops including Connor's newest basketball podcast that will launch this week with Shotgun Spratling and the first episode will feature USC women's basketball head coach Lindsay Gottlieb .

Helium Boys Podcast: Reacting to the Trojans' 36-27 loss to No. 6 Oregon and looking at the upcoming Crosstown Showdown rivalry matchup with UCLA.
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino have returned from the Pacific Northwest and are on the mics for the Helium Boys Podcast, breaking down USC's 36-27 loss to No. 6 Oregon Saturday night in Autzen Stadium, the final road game of the season for the Trojans. The Helium Boys episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' with both hosts giving their initial reactions to the weekend in Eugene. Naturally, Shotgun avoids talking about the actual game for as long as he can. Shotgun and Chris discuss the notable takeaways, including the fact they've seen this game with a couple of different details over and over this season. In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the podcasting duo discuss who/what impressed, including second-year freshman Tre'Quon Fegans taking advantage of an opportunity as well as the basketball teams' No. 1 recruits being named this season's first Pac-12 Freshman of the Week. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend with Bryson Shaw seeing a noticeable depreciation with former defensive coordinator Alex Grinch no longer around. The podcast quickly previews USC's final regular-season game, the crosstown rivalry with the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins (6-3) are in the midst of a two-game losing streak, falling 17-7 to Arizona State over the weekend. USC won last year's matchup 48-45 in dramatic fashion in the Rose Bowl. “We have one more shot in the Coliseum. We’ve got one more chance to play UCLA, and that’s a big rivalry for us. I think from the locker room, these guys have gone through a lot this year. They have hung in there, and they’ve kept swinging," said head coach Lincoln Riley after the game Saturday night. "There is a lot of unity in this locker room, and I think they very much appreciate one last chance to play the game together, and that’s what you do. It’s a first game that we’ve played here at USC where we’re out of a championship race. You don’t intend on playing anymore like this, but games like this show the character of the program, so that’s what we get a chance to go put on display.” The Helium Boys then answer your questions from Twitter and Instagram discussing among other things the qualities they believe USC should be seeking in their next defensive coordinator. Then during the overtime portion of the 'Take It or Leave It' section, Chris provides Shotgun with some potential podcast names for an upcoming addition to the Peristyle Podcast family of shows. Finally, the podcast concludes with the Helium Boys giving their score predictions for the USC-UCLA matchup (12:30 p.m. PST) in the Coliseum to close out the Trojans' regular season.

Coach Harvey Hyde thinks USC needs to look into the mirror after losing 4 of last 5 games
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about USC's 36-27 loss to Oregon in Eugene, another disappointing effort against a tough opponent. The Trojans were outgained 552 to 379 and Ducks quarterback Bo Nix went bananas, throwing for 412 yards and four touchdowns while completing 74% of his passes. Oregon was able to pressure Caleb Williams early and often, generating three sacks and one turnover while USC seemingly couldn't get close to Nix with no sacks and only two tackles for loss in the game. With the Trojans having lost an incredible four of their last five games, Coach Hyde thinks head coach Lincoln Riley needs to look into the mirror and see what changes need to be made in order for this program to eventually be championship caliber. This is the first time in Riley and Williams' careers that they are out of championship contention during the regular season, so how the team responds to that against rival UCLA this weekend will be interesting for sure. Coach Hyde saw Oregon play at a high intensity level and that combined with the amount of talent the Ducks had on the field is hard to beat. He wants to USC get there both with talent, toughness and intensity, but he just isn't seeing it right now. He is seeing more "me" attitude than "team" attitude and that has an impact on the entire program. Trojan fans are not happy right now and Coach Hyde thinks the players and coaches are not as well. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Tunnel Vision: Trojans fall to the Ducks and again can't put it together against tough a opponent
On the latest edition of Tunnel Vision, USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Connor Morrissette and Chris Trevino are back in studio fresh off their trip to the Pacific Northwest where they witnessed USC falling short against Oregon, 36-27 in Autzen Stadium. The Ducks took control of the game early thanks to a pair of 70+ yard touchdown passes and several long scoring drives. The Trojans fought back and tried to make it a game in the second half but it was too little and too late to have a realistic shot of getting the upset win. Our crew talks about what the defense looked like without defensive coordinator Alex Grinch running the show, the struggles of the USC offensive line against the Ducks front seven, how this team just can't seem to put it all together against quality opponents and lots more.

Helium Boys Podcast: Reacting to the firing of USC defensive coordinator Alex Grinch after the Trojans' 52-42 loss to Washington and looking at the possibility of the Trojans regrouping against No. 6 Oregon on the road.
The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino back to react to USC head coach Lincoln Riley's decision to make a change at the defensive coordinator position, firing Alex Grinch after the Trojans lost for the third time in four games, falling to Washington 52-42 in the Coliseum. They also break down the explosive offensive night of action from Saturday that sent the Trojans home with a 7-3 record on the season. Shotgun and Chris discuss the notable takeaways, including how despite being ahead early and then later the score being even, it never really felt like USC was going to win the game because the Trojans defense wasn't going to be able to get a stop to give the USC offense the requisite opportunity to win the game. The Helium Boys episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' as each gives his initial reactions to the Trojans' loss to Washington and the biggest things that stood out. In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the podcasting duo discuss who/what impressed, including veteran running back Darwin Barlow finally getting an opportunity and wasting no time at all to make an impact, second-year freshman Tre'Quon Fegans taking advantage of an opportunity and Lincoln Riley having the correct mentality when it comes to defense, saying "We’re going to play great defense here." The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend with Alex Grinch being at the top of the list followed by a failing pass rush and Riley claiming the Trojans are two plays away from being undefeated in conference play. Chris and Shotgun also look forward at the Trojans trip to Eugene this weekend for a matchup against No. 6 Oregon Saturday in Autzen Stadium, featuring a showdown between last season's Heisman Trophy award winner Caleb Williams and one of the frontrunners for the 2024 Heisman Trophy, Ducks quarterback Bo Nix. The Helium Boys then answer your questions from Twitter and email discussing the desired defense scheme as well as some of the USC players saying they didn't watch the film of the Washington game afterwards. Then during the overtime portion of the 'Take It or Leave It' section, Chris questions Shotgun on some of the top cartoon theme songs.

Tunnel Vision: USC falls to Washington 52-42 leading to Lincoln Riley firing DC Alex Grinch
On the latest edition of Tunnel Vision, USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith are back in studio talking about the huge breaking news that head coach Lincoln Riley has pulled the trigger and fired his longtime defensive coordinator Alex Grinch . The guys give their initial reaction to the news that Trojan football fans have been longing for since the end of last season and if they feel it can make a difference with only two games left in the regular season. USC's 52-42 loss to Washington Saturday night in the Coliseum was a defensive nightmare and apparently was the final straw for Riley, who brought Grinch with him from Oklahoma. Riley took a lot of heat when he made the decision to keep his entire staff intact even after the embarrassing loss to Tulane in the Cotton Bowl. Fans wanted Grinch gone and Riley's gamble on the importance of staff continuity simply did not pay off. Our crew talks about all of the good (mostly offense) and bad (mostly defense) from the game against the Huskies and some of the historic marks that were set including the most points Washington has ever scored against USC (achieved in the first half alone) and the Trojan defense giving up 34+ points in six straight games for the first time in program history.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC pulling the trigger and firing defensive coordinator Alex Grinch
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing yet another disappointing defensive effort for the Trojans, this time a 52-42 loss to No. 5 Washington in the Coliseum. During the show as Ryan and Coach talked about the poor defensive performance news broke that defensive coordinator Alex Grinch had been fired, so they talk about that breaking news at the end of the episode. The Huskies were able to score on 8 of their 10 drives including 7 touchdowns for a ridiculous average of 5.2 points per drive. Coach Hyde feels it was a great crowd there for Homecoming and the offense scored enough to win the game, but the defense was questionable in every aspect of the game. Coach wants to know if this defense is even capable of getting a stop. He doesn't think all of the best players are playing and by now you should know which players can play and which cant. He's questioning the defensive philosophy where they can't even line up correctly or respond to offensive shifts, leaving the defense confused with huge gaps outside for opposing backs to run through. Coach would love to see head coach Lincoln Riley step in and start coaching on the defensive side and allow Kliff Kingsbury to take over and run the offense. The defense keeps doing the same thing and nothing changes and there are so many gaps in coverage that Coach said it looks like they are only playing with 9 guys out there. Coach says the kids are playing hard but with the combination of everything that is going wrong, the defense is simply horrible. With the loss the Trojans fell out of the AP Poll top-25 for the first time in the Riley era. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio to preview what could be a pivotal game for the Trojans, a matchup with the only undefeated team in the Pac-12, No. 5 Washington Huskies. With USC's loss to Utah two weeks ago the margin for error in the race to win the conference is essentially gone, especially with the gauntlet of a schedule the Trojans have left. For Lincoln Riley to have any shot at winning the Pac-12 in its final year of existence, his squad will need to take care of business against the Huskies on Saturday. Jack and Connor talk about what the players and coaches said this week during practice as they get ready for this important contest and discuss the news and notes including the unfortunately season ending injury for safety Zion Branch . They also break down the newly released Big Ten schedule with dates for 2024 where the Trojans travel to Michigan, Minnesota, Maryland, Washington and UCLA and host Penn State, Wisconsin, Rutgers and Nebraska. Both hosts will be in the Coliseum for this one and they give their thoughts on how it will turn out including their picks against the spread (Trojans are a 3 point underdog to Washington).

The Trojans reward is a very tough Washington squad that is undefeated on the season and will head to Los Angeles this weekend in what is an absolutely pivotal game for Lincoln Riley and his squad. With the team back out on the practice field Tuesday, Ryan and Connor talk about what Riley, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and the players had to say about that Cal win and facing the Huskies this weekend. The guys also talk about the initial College Football Playoff rankings where the Trojans ended up at No. 20 and will finish the season by facing No. 5 Washington, No. 6 Oregon and No. 19 UCLA over the next three weeks. Quarterback Caleb Williams talked about USC's playoff hopes still being alive even with two losses because of the tough games left on the schedule and the opportunity to get four-straight quality wins (including the Pac-12 Championship Game). No one is expecting the Trojans to make a run, so that actually can take a little bit of the pressure off heading into this final stretch of the season.

Helium Boys Podcast Halloween Edition: Reacting to USC's wild 50-49 win in Berkeley and looking at the possibility of a Trojans getting a top five upset of Washington in the Coliseum.
The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino reuniting to react to USC's off-the-rails 50-49 win at California in this Halloween edition of the Helium Boys Podcast. They break down the back-and-forth battle with the Golden Bears that was settled by a defensive stop of a two-point conversion attempt, improving the Trojans to 7-2 on the season. Shotgun and Chris discuss the notable takeaways, including the dynamic defensive impact of Eric Gentry, USC actually sticking with the run game for four quarters and how Bear Alexander's presence in the second half completely transformed the defense. Throughout the episode, Chris also plays a game, stopping the action to ask Shotgun to react to a spooky fact or guess the horror film a quote is from. The Helium Boys Halloween episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' as each gives his initial reactions to the Trojans' win over Cal and the biggest things that stood out. In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the podcasting duo discuss who/what impressed, including USC's fight and the rising expectations being greater than the appreciation for fans. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend such as nickelback Jaylin Smith and the rising number of plays Lincoln Riley says the Trojans need to fix on each side of the ball. Chris and Shotgun also look forward at the "really cool opportunities" the Trojans have in front of them, starting with a matchup against No. 5 Washington Saturday in the Coliseum, featuring a showdown between last season's Heisman Trophy award winner Caleb Williams and the current favorite for the 2024 Heisman Trophy, Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. The Helium Boys then answer your questions from Twitter, email and Instagram discussing Lincoln Riley/Alex Grinch, the defense, Halloween costumes and Halloween candy. Then during the overtime portion of the 'Take It or Leave It' section, Chris questions Shotgun on the top candy in a variety of states. Finally, the podcast concludes with the Helium Boys giving their score predictions for the USC-Washington matchup (4:30 p.m. PDT) in the Coliseum this weekend.

Coach Harvey Hyde sees a lack of discipline with this Trojan team coming off the 50-49 squeaker against California
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing what was a fitting end to a longstanding rivalry with Cal, a 50-49 Trojan victory that featured an on-field protest that delayed the start of the game, an untimed down after halftime before the third quarter started and a spectacular two-point conversion pass defense that sealed the victory for USC. Coach Hyde talks about the lack of discipline he has seen on this team, from penalties (11 for 101 yards for USC) to missed assignments to lack of attention to detail, and how that is going to need to change to have a chance at winning any of the remaining three games on the schedule. Players need to perform the assignment they are given and coaches need to stick with what is working and not get away from successful strategies. Coach Hyde wants to see more consistency and concentration from everyone in the program, from the players on the field to everyone on the sidelines. On that untimed down played before the start of the third quarter, Coach Hyde says he has never saw a play like in all his years coaching and watching college football. He also said that USC has the skill players to be a great offense with one of the top running backs in the country in MarShawn Lloyd, of of the top quarterbacks in Caleb Williams and great receivers, but doesn't see any identity in the offense right now. Coach wants to see things be more balanced to make it harder on opposing defenses instead of the Trojans are making it harder on themselves. On defense Coach feels like those turnovers were the key to getting the win. Somehow the defense made Fernando Mendoza look like Aaron Rodgers . There were gaping holes in the first half for the run game with guys taking the long gap. Second half was better with Eric Gentry playing better and Bear Alexander returning. Too many penalties on the secondary players. Coach says that the special teams problems are all about discipline, staying in lanes, when to run it out, not trying to be a star just go by the rules of where you are on the field. All of these mistakes in the kicking game are not acceptable and coach says you will lose games when you can't do those little things on special teams. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Tunnel Vision: The final weekender was anything but boring as USC escapes with a 50-49 win at Cal
On the latest edition of Tunnel Vision, USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back together again in studio fresh off their Bay Area trip for what will likely be the very last USC weekender for the foreseeable future, an instant classic where the Trojans narrowly escaped with a 50-49 victory over the Sturdy Golden Bears. USC once again started off the game strong before allowing Cal to jump out to multiple two-score leads, including a 14-point fourth quarter lead that looked like the end for the Trojans. USC regained the lead thanks to a Cal fumble and when the Bears drove to tie the game with under a minute left, head coach Justin Wilcox decided to end it right there with a two-point try. Jaylin Smith made the defensive play of the day, batting away the pass in the end zone to preserve the one point victory for the Men of Troy. The guys talk about this crazy game that started with an on-field protest, had a halftime controversy that allowed USC to attempt a first half field goal right before the start of the third quarter and of course the dramatic ending that kept the Trojans hopes of a Pac-12 title technically alive.

Tunnel Vision: Trojans hit the road to take on long-time rival Cal
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio to preview what needs to be USC's get-right game, a road trip to Berkeley to take on the California Golden Bears. This season Cal has actually been sneaky good on offense, especially the ground game, but not as stout on defense. The Trojans have struggled most of the season on defense and lately the offense has been much more pedestrian. Can USC finally turn things around and get a much needed win against this long-time rival? Jack and Connor talk about what a weird week of practice it was, with Lincoln Riley out sick for a couple of days before returning on Wednesday. Riley addressed the media and talked about pushing himself too hard before the Utah game and several other topics. They also discuss what defensive coordinator Alex Grinch had to say about what went wrong in the Utah game. Both hosts will be in the Berkeley for this one and talk about how they think it will play out and give their picks against the spread (Trojans are favored by a 10.5 points).

No real answers on USC's defensive struggles plus Lincoln Riley out sick
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about what is turning out to be a strange week around the USC football program, with back-to-back losses and now head coach Lincoln Riley unable to attend practice due to an undisclosed illness. Riley was coughing before he addressed the media after the Utah game and he came out alone instead of with the usual two players alongside him (no players were made available after the game). Riley also didn't make his normal Monday appearance on Trojans Live and then on Tuesday we were informed that Riley was home sick per doctor's orders and there was no timetable given for his return. The guys talk about how practice felt on Tuesday with Riley's absence and outside wide receivers coach Dennis Simmons taking over. They also discuss what defensive coordinator Alex Grinch had to say after the defense's terrible performance against Utah where the Utes had their season high of yards (482) and safety Sione Vaki went off catching 149 yards in passes and two touchdowns.

Helium Boys Podcast: Reacting to USC's first loss at the Coliseum under Lincoln Riley, a 34-32 defeat to dreaded Utah on a field goal as time expired, and looking at how the collapse of College Football Playoff goals will affect the team going forward.
USCFootball.com's Helium Boys, Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino, were reunited over the weekend and are back together to try to break down and make sense of USC's 34-32 loss to Utah in this edition of the Helium Boys Podcast. They react to the Trojans' first loss at the Coliseum under Lincoln Riley, a defeat to dreaded Utah on a field goal as time expired, that drops them to 6-2 on the season and all but guarantees USC will not be able to make the College Football Playoff in the final season of the four-team era. Shotgun and Chris discuss the notable takeaways, including USC's refusal to lean heavily on its run game, the emotions that poured from Bear Alexander after his late targeting penalty, whether or not the Trojans should have gone down at the 1-yard line and the decision by Lincoln Riley to not make any players available to the media. The Helium Boys open with the 'Two-Minute Drill' giving their initial reactions to the Trojans' loss to Utah and the biggest things that stood out to each of them. In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the podcasting duo discuss who impressed, including Romello Height, the Branch brothers and the revamped offensive line. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend like the trust in the run game and the two-point conversion play calling, including the attempted use of cut blocking by the offensive line. They also look at how the collapse of College Football Playoff goals will affect the team going forward and whether this could be a situation that releases the pressure from players, allowing them to go out and have fun and play to their potential going forward. Chris and Shotgun also look at the upcoming matchup against California and the Golden Bears grab bag of quarterbacks. The Helium Boys then answer your questions from Twitter, email and Instagram discussing the defense and the overall vibe of the team. Then during the overtime portion of the 'Take It or Leave It' section, Chris questions Shotgun on the top five and bottom five fruits. Finally, the podcast concludes with the Helium Boys giving their score predictions for the USC-Cal matchup (1 p.m. PDT) in Berkeley this weekend.

Coach Harvey Hyde is not seeing a product out on the field that Trojan football fans can be proud of
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing what was an inexcusable Trojan loss to the Utes in the Coliseum. Utah came in without their star quarterback or best pass catcher and still was able to put up 482 yards of offense on the USC defense, the Utes highest total of the season. Safety Sione Vaki got whatever he wanted in the passing game, torching the Trojans for nearly 150 yards and two touchdowns while quarterback Bryson Barnes had his best game of the season including a 26-yard run that set up the game winning field goal. Coach Hyde and Ryan talk about how week after week this USC defense allows opponents to accomplish new heights and achieve high water marks, something that simply shouldn't be happening to a team with championship aspirations. Coach Hyde thinks this team is simply unsound on defense and they are asking players to do impossible tasks like having rush end Braylan Shelby to rush the passer but also cover the speedy Vaki on a wheel route of of the backfield. That is not sound football. Hyde says there is always a breakdown somewhere and it is due to bad discipline not only on defense, but from what he's seeing throughout the football program. You never want to beat yourself and with bad discipline USC did exactly that on the final drive for Utah. Coach Hyde thinks Lincoln Riley is a great playcaller with an amazing track record but right now quarterback Caleb Williams isn't making the plays he was last season. Coach thinks that defenses have adjusted and that Riley needs to as well to help Williams have the kind of success he had last season. He doesn't think Riley believes in the run game and he wants this team to be more physical to become a championship level team. Overall Coach Hyde feels bad for the fan base, a group of loyal Trojans who want to be proud of, not embarrassed because of, the product out on the field. With all of the problems on this USC football team, its hard for fans to be proud of what they are seeing. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Tunnel Vision: Lincoln Riley loses in the Coliseum for the first time and falls to 0-3 against Utah
On the latest edition of Tunnel Vision, USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith are in studio discussing the first ever loss in the Coliseum during the Lincoln Riley era, a 34-32 heartbreaker at the hands of Utah. After the game winning field goal as time expired, Riley and quarterback Caleb Williams are now 0-3 against the Utes over the past two seasons. After getting blown out on the road against Notre Dame, USC was looking to bounce back and get some revenge against a Utah squad that was extremely banged up. Backup quarterback Bryson Barnes stepped up his game, completing 14 of his 23 passes for three touchdowns and one interception and safety Sione Vaki dominated on offense with 9 rushes for 68 yards and 5 catches for 149 yards and two touchdowns. The Utes had 482 yards of offense, their highest total of the season. The Trojans offense had success running the ball with MarShawn Lloyd and Austin Jones rushing for nearly 10 yards a pop, but the duo only got 12 carries which limited their impact. Williams was 24 of 34 for 256 and didn't have a touchdown but did have the go-ahead TD scramble late in the fourth quarter.

Tunnel Vision: Trojans return to the Coliseum for an all-important clash with Utah
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith , RJ Abeytia and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio to preview USC's most important game of the entire regular season, a conference home matchup against Utah, the team that defeated the Trojans twice last season including the Pac-12 Championship game. The No. 18 Trojans of course had a rough go of it at Notre Dame while the No. 14 Utes pulled away from California in Salt Lake City. The guys talk about this pivotal game for head coach Lincoln Riley and give their thoughts on USC's struggling offense against what could be an elite Utah defense and a potentially resurgent Trojan defense against heaving injured and mostly one dimensional Utes offense. All three hosts will be in the Coliseum for this one and talk about how they think it will play out and give their picks against the spread (Trojans are favored by a touchdown).

Helium Boys Podcast: Reacting to USC's first loss of the season, a 48-20 turnover-fueled disappointment handed to the Trojans by Notre Dame, and looking forward to their big matchup with Utah in the Coliseum.
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return with a speed version of the Helium Boys Podcast following USC's trip to South Bend for its annual matchup with intersectional rival Notre Dame. The Helium Boys react to the Trojans' first loss of the season, a 48-20 loss to Notre Dame where the Irish won the turnover battle, 5-0, and were able to win in the trenches. Shotgun and Chris discuss the notable takeaways, including the troubles with the offensive line and what possible solutions there are for fixing the issues in front of quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw a career-high three interceptions -- all under duress -- and was sacked six times. Normally, the Helium Boys open with the 'Two-Minute Drill' giving their initial reactions to the Trojans' latest matchup, but this is the speed version. The 'Two-Minute Drill' was shortened to the 'One-Minute Drill' after the show's offensive coordinator called back-to-back running plays and wasted our timeouts. The speed version also incorporates a modified Stock Up/Stock Down section with the podcasting duo discussing who impressed, including Christian Roland-Wallace, the Branch brothers and Tackett Curtis. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend such as the offensive line, the Heisman Trophy winner and the Trojans' special teams. Chris and Shotgun also look at the Trojans' highly anticipated upcoming matchup against nemesis Utah this weekend after the Utes were able to hand Lincoln Riley and Williams two of their three losses last season. The Helium Boys use your submissions during the 'Take It or Leave It' section and then answer your USC mailbag questions, picking a couple to dive into before the timer goes off. Finally, the podcast concludes with the Helium Boys giving their score predictions for the USC-Utah matchup (5 p.m. PDT) from the Coliseum this weekend.

Can the Trojans get back on track with Utah coming to town?
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio giving their analysis following USC's 48-20 loss to Notre Dame, looking at what went wrong and if the Trojans can get back on track with an important game against Utah coming up. Both Connor and Ryan were in South Bend for this debacle of a game that generated a wave of concern across the Trojan fan base that knows there are no breaks in this tough back half of the schedule for USC football. They give their thoughts on what they saw and heard and how much this suboptimal Trojan effort impacts their prognosis for the rest of the 2023 college football season. Head coach Lincoln Riley remains optimistic that this is a team that can turn things around, fix the issues and win the Pac-12 conference. The guys talk about what Riley had to say after the game, during his Trojans Live appearance and also after practice on Tuesday and if they agree with his assessment of this 6-1 USC football squad. They also heard from defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and several players and they discuss what everyone else had to say following this tough loss. Looking forward, two-time defending conference champion Utah comes to the Coliseum on Saturday and the guys talk about the level of importance that rests on this contest considering Riley lost to the Utes twice last season and need to bounce back from their worst effort of the season.

Coach Harvey Hyde calls USC's 48-20 loss to Notre Dame embarrassing and a difficult one to swallow for Trojan football fans
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing what turned out to be the largest margin of defeat for the Trojans during the Lincoln Riley era, a 48-20 beatdown at the hands of Notre Dame. A huge factor in the loss was the fact that USC turned the ball over five times, including a career high three interceptions for Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Caleb Williams , and surrendered a kickoff return for a touchdown. Coach Harvey Hyde talks about how this was an extremely difficult weekend for USC fans, seeing their team go down hard on a national stage in a historic rivalry with thousands of Trojans making the trip to South Bend. He also said it was embarrassing for fans to watch how this team played, getting dominated in all three phases but especially the offense and special teams units. It was a painful experience and there is no time for the team to lick its wounds with Utah coming into the Coliseum this weekend. The Coach talks about how the USC offense couldn’t get anything going, with the offensive line struggling making Williams look uncomfortable and a run game that just couldn’t generate consistent production. Notre Dame played a lot of man defense and limited the separation for USC’s wide receivers, making it even tougher for Williams to find someone while under pressure. Defensively the squad did play better, but it was against a more limited Fighting Irish offense. Special teams were a major issue and one that doesn’t seem to be improving as the season advances.

USC fell 48-20 in a beatdown at the hands of arch rival Notre Dame. USC quarterback Caleb Williams had the worst game of his career throwing three first half interceptions, which all led to Notre Dame touchdowns.

EMERGENCY PODCAST - USC's turnover frenzy leads to 48-20 loss at Notre Dame
In this EMERGENCY edition of the Peristyle Podcast USCFootball.com's team of Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith , Connor Morrissette , Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino recorded their thoughts about USC's 48-20 loss at Notre Dame in the car on their drive back from South Bend to Chicago (at 2 in the morning). The guys take turns giving their thoughts on what went wrong as the Trojans turned the ball over five times to the Fighting Irish's zero, allowed six sacks and 11 tackles for loss while only generating one TFL and no sacks and the backbreaker, giving up a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that put any chance of a late comeback out of reach. They also discuss what head coach Lincoln Riley and quarterback Caleb Williams had to say after the disappointing loss, the only two players or coaches that spoke to the media after the game. As this was literally recorded in the car driving in the middle of the night, we apologize if the audio quality isn't as high as our usually shows recorded in studio.

Tunnel Vision: Previewing USC's Midwest road trip to South Bend to take on Notre Dame
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith , Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio to preview what will be No. 10 USC's toughest test to date, a road trip to South Bend to take on No. 21 Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish are playing their fourth ranked team in a row, going 1-2 over that stretch, and desperately need a win against USC to get their season back on track. The Trojans are a perfect 6-0 but the play on the field has been far less than perfect, so a win against a ranked opponent would go a long way to quieting the critics (at least partially). The guys talk about everything they saw and heard from USC practice and media availability this week which featured a lot of talk about the state of the Trojan defense plus injury status for freshman wide receiver Zachariah Branch and the overall health of the cornerback position. All three hosts are heading to Chicago on Friday for this one and they give their thoughts on how they think the game will go. Interestingly enough, through the first six games USC was at least a three touchdown favorite in every contest (covering only twice) and this weekend the Trojans come in as a three point underdog.

The great debate about the USC defense heading into the Notre Dame game
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio discussing the hottest topic surrounding the Trojan football team, the performance of the USC defense at the halfway point of the season. From the outside many of the same issues this defense had last year appear to still be there, breakdowns in coverages, poor tackling and the inability to get stops late in games. But hearing from Lincoln Riley and players and coaches, their view is the defense is much improved over last season. Ryan and Connor give their thoughts on how the defense is trending after six games as USC is now heading into its most important and difficult stretch of the season. They also give an injury update including wide receiver Zachariah Branch as well as cornerbacks Domani Jackson and Christian Roland-Wallace . USC head coach Lincoln Riley told reporters that Branch and Roland-Wallace weren't full participants but Jackson was. The guys also look ahead to the biggest game of the season to this point, a tough road trip to archrival Notre Dame. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Helium Boys Podcast: Reacting to USC's triple overtime win over Arizona where slow start/continued flaws hampered Trojans
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return with the Helium Boys Podcast following a wild 3OT battle between USC and Arizona. The Helium Boys react to the Trojans' 43-41 triple overtime win over the Wildcats where a slow start and continued flaws nearly cost USC its pristine record and likely would have if Superman Caleb Williams didn't put the team on his back. Shotgun and Chris discuss the notable takeaways, including who is to blame and what needs to be fixed to get USC heading in the right direction after three subpar performances in a row. They open with the 'Two-Minute Drill' giving their initial reactions to the Trojans' late-night victory in the Coliseum. The duo then breaks down the hold-your-breath and hold-your-beer moments with Stock Up/Stock Down, discussing who impressed, including the Heisman Trophy winner making a push for No. 2 by using his legs and a handful of defenders that stood out. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend such as the physicality in the trenches, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Chris and Shotgun also look at the Trojans' upcoming rivalry matchup as they head halfway across the country to take on Notre Dame in South Bend this weekend. The Helium Boys also answer your USC mailbag questions, which cover a number of varied topics from the defense and missed tackles to Caleb Williams and offensive playcalling. Finally, the podcast concludes with the "Take It or Leave It" section centered around things from USC's triple-overtime win, including special teams play and the new overtime format, as well as sugary concoctions that may have to change their formulas in California. The Helium Boys also give their score predictions for the USC-Notre Dame matchup (4:30 p.m. PDT) from Indiana this weekend.

Coach Harvey Hyde thinks USC has too much talent for that type of performance against Arizona
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing another clunker of a game for the Trojans, this time a 43-41 triple overtime victory over unranked Arizona at home in the Coliseum. Coach Hyde, as usual, has some strong opinions on how this USC football team performed late Saturday night against the Wildcats. Early in the game when the offense wasn't clicking and wide receivers were not getting open, he wanted to see head coach Lincoln Riley start using the backs and tight ends in the passing game. Coach Hyde also wanted to see the Trojans commit to the run game with Arizona dropping more defenders back into coverage. On the defensive side of the ball Coach Hyde thinks there are still too many rotations going on and he wants to see fewer players coming in and out of the game. He was also concerned that backup quarterback Noah Fafita had so much success against this USC defense, to the tune of 302 yards and five passing touchdowns. In general Coach Hyde doesn't want to see things be so complicated for the Trojans, he wants to see USC get back to basics so there isn't any confusion for the players on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. After the game quarterback Caleb Williams once again said every team that plays USC is giving them their best shot, it is a game that all opponents circle on their calendars. Coach Hyde talks about that and how a blueblood program like the Trojans has to deal with being a target week after week. At the end of the day, the Trojans did just enough to win the game, but he feels that this roster has too much talent stacked up to deliver this type of performance at home against an unranked opponent. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Tunnel Vision: Trojans somehow survive in triple overtime against the Wildcats
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith , Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are in studio discussing one of the wildest USC football games in recent memory, a 43-41 triple overtime victory over Arizona late Saturday night in the Coliseum. Right out of the gate, the Trojans looked out of sorts from the jump on offense, defense and special teams including three-straight 3-and-outs for Caleb Williams and the offense and three-straight scores allowed by the defense. USC, which hadn't trailed at all through the first five games, was down 17-0 early in the second quarter with the game on the verge of being out of hand. When the offense finally started to get on track with a huge pass to Brenden Rice , momentum shifted once again when Williams fumbled on the next play. Jacobe Covington made the play of the day with his interception, giving USC life and more importantly a short field. Williams was able to cut the deficit to a field goal at halftime, keeping the game from getting out of hand. The guys talk about the Trojans comeback in the second half, that included an 8-point lead early in the fourth quarter, including USC's botched field goal attempt to win the game at the end of regulation and Williams winning the game in the third OT on his weird looking quarterback keeper play.

More questions than answers about USC's defense heading into the Arizona game
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette are back in studio talking about how the Trojans are undefeated and scoring 40+ points a game, but still have major questions on the defensive side of the ball. After coming out of the game early in the San Jose State, Nevada and Stanford games, quarterback Caleb Williams has had to play until the final whistle on the road at ASU and Colorado because the USC defense hasn't been able to get stops late in the game. We've heard from head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator Alex Grinch following Tuesday's practice and both coaches addressed the Trojans defensive issues in the second half in Boulder. The guys talk about what the Riley, Grinch and the defensive players had to say about the shortcomings of the defense and the challenges they will face against an very potent Arizona offense. Riley said the focus this week has been on two fronts, tackling better on the perimeter and keeping the quarterback in the pocket. They also talk about the player rotation on the defensive side of the ball including what Riley said about inside linebacker Eric Gentry slowing working his way back into the rotation following his injuries and time away from the field. On the injury front they talk about safety Max Williams and wide receiver Zachariah Branch missing the Colorado game but being on track to play against Arizona according to Riley.

The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino back behind the microphones to react to USC surviving their final trip to the mountains of Boulder, Colo. and the quicksand that nearly consumed the Trojans in the second half of a 48-41 win over the Buffaloes. The duo discuss the notable takeaways, including who is to blame and what needs to be fixed to get USC back on track. Shotgun and Chris open with the 'Two-Minute Drill' giving their initial reactions to the Trojans' win at Colorado, including Chris' take on the atmosphere for the 10 a.m. local kickoff. The duo then breaks down the hold-your-breath victory with Stock Up/Stock Down, discussing who impressed, including the Caleb Williams to Brenden Rice connection and the potential of kissing Heismans as well as multiple USC defenders that showed out despite the foibles of the defense as a whole. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend such as the Trojans' "the longer it goes, the better we get" motto that has been what they have carried with them throughout the offseason.. Chris and Shotgun also look at the Trojans' upcoming matchup with Arizona this weekend, and the troubles the Wildcats could present after pushing USC until the end last year in Tucson. The Helium Boys also try to answer your USC mailbag questions of which there were many! They cover a number of topics, which primarily focus on the defensive side of the ball and the Trojans' deficiencies. Finally, the podcast concludes with the "Take It or Leave It" section centered around things USC can improve going forward and whether the Trojans should be on trap-game alert.

Tunnel Vision: After giving up 41 points to Colorado, there is no defense for this Trojan defense
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio breaking down the Trojans near collapse in Boulder, a 48-41 win over Colorado where USC's 27 point lead got wiped away by Shedeur Sanders and the Buffaloes offense. The USC defense actually looked good early on in the game, limiting most of Sanders' passes to underneath routes and forcing the Buffs to methodically move the chains. But towards the end of the first half Sanders orchestrated another slow and effective drive that was capped it off with his 25-yard touchdown run up the middle, making the score a much more respectable 34-14 at halftime and giving Colorado some desperately needed momentum. The Trojans struck first in the second half and at 41-14 halfway through the third quarter the game seemed out of reach, but Colorado scored touchdowns on 4 of its last 5 possessions and USC failed to score in the fourth quarter. What should have been a blowout ended up being an onsides kick away from a Cotton Bowl level implosion in Boulder.

Coach Harvey Hyde wants to see Lincoln Riley get more involved in USC's defense
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing the near epic collapse in Boulder where the Trojans had a 41-14 lead and had to hold on and recover an onsides kick to escape with a 48-41 victory. Ryan was at Folsom Field for the game and the 100 year old stadium had some issues trying to accommodate the over 1,000 media requests, the most for a game in CU history. The Coach Prime effect is real and while the Buffaloes media relations people tried their best, the program grew too much and too fast to handle the wave of publicity that Deion Sanders brought to Boulder. The game itself was unsatisfying for everyone, USC fans were upset that the defense failed to slow down Colorado late in the game and Buffs fans saw a chance for victory fall just short. Coach Hyde talks about how winning is the most important thing, but you want to be able to be proud of your performance and it would be hard to do that after this game. Both Coach and Ryan got Cotton Bowl vibes from this one, with Colorado nearly duplicating the improbable comeback Tulane had back in January. Coach feels USC got lucky to get out of there with a win after dominating early before everything went to heck. He also felt it was a shame no one was talking about Caleb Williams and his 403 yard, 6 touchdown performance, because the defense was so bad. Williams through five games has 24 total touchdowns and last season at this time he only had 15. The majority of the episode discusses USC’s defensive struggles and Coach Hyde thinks opposing offenses are doing a good job of exploiting the Trojans weaknesses, luring defenders up before hitting them over the top for explosive plays. There are a lot of areas for concern but Coach specifically talks about the excessive cushion given in the red zone being one of the major flaws. He also thinks tackling is still a big problem as well as the inside linebacker play. He wants to see more people flying around to the football and he sees guys that aren’t and wants to know why others are not in there showing what they can do. Most importantly Coach wants to see Lincoln Riley get more personally involved in this defense and address some of the deficiencies. He would also like to see offensive analyst Kliff Kingsbury get involved and do some self scouting of the defense and tell Alex Grinch where he thinks the holes are and where improvements can be made. At the end of the day with this collection of talent on defense, the whole is less than the sum of its parts and that is on coaching. Both Ryan and Coach Hyde think USC could have a much better defense with the talent assembled, so it's time to make that happen or get someone who can. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up th

Tunnel Vision: Previewing USC's highly anticipated trip to Boulder to face Coach Prime and Colorado
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio and ready to preview one of the more highly anticipated games of the young 2023 college football season, a road trip to Boulder where Lincoln Riley , Caleb Williams and the 4-0 No. 8 ranked USC Trojans will face Deion Sanders , Shedeur Sanders and the 3-1 Colorado Buffaloes. USC is coming off a sloppy 14-point win over Arizona State in Tempe and Colorado is trying to bounce back from an unsuccessful trip to Eugene where the Ducks had their way with the Buffs. The guys will give their thoughts on this game, including the extremely early 9 a.m. PST kickoff time, Big Noon Kickoff pregame show being there and the media circus that surrounds the most talked about figure in college football, Coach Prime. On paper USC's strengths line up pretty well with Colorado's weaknesses, specifically the Trojans can run the ball well where the Buffaloes have a hard to stopping the run plus SC's pass rush has been elite this season and CU has given up the most sacks among Power Five programs. The guys give their thoughts on USC's struggles in the desert and talk about what changes they would like to see heading into another tough road environment in Boulder next weekend.

Peristyle Podcast - Should USC football fans be concerned heading into Boulder?
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and new USCFootball.com senior staff writer Connor Morrissette are in studio LIVE breaking down the state of the Trojan football program following a less than impressive 42-28 victory over a struggling Arizona State squad in Tempe. Should USC football fans be concerned with a road trip to Boulder to take on one of the most talked about college football programs in the country, the Colorado Buffaloes? Connor and Ryan give their thoughts on what they liked from the Trojans effort in the desert and what gives cause for concern. An "off" day for Caleb Williams still produced five touchdowns and the much maligned defense still generated eight sacks and 14 tackles for loss. The guys talk about all of that plus player rotation, special teams highs and lows, the overall health of the team, playing on the road in back-to-back weeks, the early kickoff time with the Big Noon Kickoff pregame on hand and of course they preview what they expect to see from Coach Prime and Colorado.

The duo discuss the notable takeaways from the closer-than-expected victory and assess where the Trojans' defense stands following an unsatisfying performance. Shotgun and Chris open with the 'Two-Minute Drill' giving their initial reactions to the Trojans' win over the Sun Devils and then break down the victory with Stock Up/Stock Down, discussing who impressed, including MarShawn Lloyd electric performance averaging 11 yards per carry and Romello Height making a huge impact with his first two career sacks and a fumble recovery.

Coach Harvey Hyde not happy with what he saw from USC's effort in the desert
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about USC's 42-28 win over Arizona State in Tempe, the first road game for the Trojans this season and the first time Lincoln Riley and company were not comfortably ahead heading into the fourth quarter. Overall Coach Hyde was not impressed with USC's effort in Tempe, especially when the Trojans were coming off a bye week and the Sun Devils had just laid an egg the week before, falling the Fresno State 29-0 at home. Coach Hyde starts out talking about how surprising that game was to him considering how easily USC handled Stanford at home in the previous game. The Trojans were a five-touchdown favorite and Hyde wanted to see this team come out hungry, chomping at the bit to get back out on the football field after having the week off. He wanted to see this team be prepared and ready to take on a hostile environment and come out of the tunnel showing dominance from the jump. That didn't happen. Hyde feels that USC didn't coach or play a good game, he thought the offense looked out of sync, Caleb Williams didn't look like he was pleased with what was going on and the defense wasn't physical and tackled poorly.

Trojans head into the first bye week on a high note
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and new USCFootball.com senior staff writer Connor Morrissette are in studio LIVE talking about USC's 3-0 start in which the Trojans put up at least 50 points in their first three games for the first time in program history. Of course Lincoln Riley and company got blowout wins against San Jose State and Nevada before cruising by Stanford on Saturday for the first conference win of the season. The guys talk a little bit about the blowout victory over Stanford before shifting forward to what the Trojans are trying to accomplish during this rare early bye week. With no game on Saturday, the USC football team still has a "normal" week of preparation only a slightly tweaked (earlier) practice schedule and the same media availability. On Tuesday we heard from Riley plus defensive coordinator Alex Grinch talking about what they have seen from the first few games of the season plus some of the defensive standouts. Two of the hot topics highlighted were trying to cut down on the unnecessary penalties and limit explosive plays on defense. There was also some discussion on the new interview that Riley did with Graham Bensinger in which he revealed that when he decided to leave Oklahoma there were attempts to break into his house, his desire to retire by age 50 and how his original parking spot at USC was too far away from the football facilities.

The Helium Boys discuss the notable takeaways from the blowout win and the conclusion, for all intents and purposes for now at least, of a nearly 120-year rivalry. Shotgun and Chris open with the 'Two-Minute Drill' giving their initial reactions to the Trojans' destruction of the Cardinal and then break down the victory with Stock Up/Stock Down, discussing who impressed, including Bear Alexander's continued mauling in the interior of the defensive line and pressure off the edges helping to create multiple turnovers for a defense that had only one entering its third game. The boys also take a look at the bigger themes that are being developed like the lightning strikes that are popping off across the Coliseum every time the Trojans take the field. They also dive into who and what saw their stock take a dip. The Helium Boys also preview what the Trojans will do with their bye week and what should be the primary focuses with an open weekend so early in the season. A podcast of the people, the Helium Boys also answer your USC mailbag questions about topics spanning from Zachariah Branch's total touchdown total and what it would take for him to be a Heisman finalist to who have been the biggest defensive playmakers through the first quarter of the season. We also answer several movie-related questions, including what players on the current USC roster embody each of the Avenger superheroes. Finally, the podcast concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some "Take It or Leave It" prompts. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Tunnel Vision: USC shows absolutely no mercy to longtime rival Stanford
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio discussing what was a merciless beatdown of longtime rival Stanford. The Trojans scored early and often and built up a 49-3 halftime lead that included seven different Trojans finding the end zone and over 400 yards of offense. With the backups in for the third and fourth quarters USC cruised to a demonstrative 56-10 victory over the Cardinal. Stanford was USC's longest running series and with the Trojans off to the Big Ten next season and the Cardinal heading to the ACC, Saturday night's matchup will likely be the last time these two programs play for years to come. Ryan talks about the sad ending to the rivalry with no Stanford band halftime show making fun of the Trojans, no Stanford tree bouncing around the sidelines, essentially no Cardinal fans in the stands, no "Stanford countermarch" performance by the Trojan Marching Band and no Cardinal players on the field that good enough to even keep it close. The guys also talk about how Lincoln Riley and his squad showed the killer mentality through the first three games heading into the bye week and how he was pleased with all three phases of the game in the first half Blitzkrieg against Stanford.

Coach Harvey Hyde is still waiting for this USC team to be tested
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about USC's third-straight blowout win of the season, a 56-10 destruction of the Stanford Cardinal Saturday night in the Coliseum. Once again the Trojans were a heavy favorite and as was the case last week they were able to easily cover the 29-point spread, winning eventually by 46 points including a 49-3 edge at halftime. Coach Hyde starts out talking about how far this Stanford Cardinal program has fallen and why they are so bad. He thinks it is embarrassing for those who follow the team and those legends of the game that were associated with it, guys like Andrew Luck and Christian McCaffrey to John Elway and Bill Walsh . Coach Hyde feels that there is no way for a program to fall this far this fast unless there was a plan in place to do so or someone in power didn’t care. College football is changing and it doesn’t appear that anyone in the Stanford athletic department is willing to change along with it. Stanford’s fall isn’t USC’s concern and Coach Hyde would give the Trojans an ‘A’ grade after the 56-10 humiliation. USC could do anything it wanted in the first half and sometimes you face an opponent that isn’t capable of putting up any opposition and when that happens, it isn’t your fault. Coach liked that the Trojans just plowed ahead and ran their plans and continued to play their game. The only thing he would have changed was he would have kept the starters in longer, not because he wanted to pile on Stanford, he just doesn’t want to see the team let its guard down and lose momentum, something that happened for the Trojans in the second half. Coach Hyde thinks that is a way to lose your edge so he would have kept the starters in a little longer into the third quarter before taking everyone out. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Tunnel Vision: Trojans to open conference play against their oldest rival, the Stanford Cardinal
On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio taking a look ahead at the last ever Pac-12 conference opener for the Trojans, a Saturday night showdown with the Stanford Cardinal. Stanford is USC's longest running rivalry and with the move to the Big Ten along with the Cardinal heading to the ACC, this is the last time these two teams will play for the foreseeable future. The guys talk about what they have seen from Stanford in their road victory over Hawaii and some of the Cardinal players that have the potential to make big plays against the Trojans. They also discuss what USC players and coaches were talking about this week after practice, including how important the rivalry with Stanford, slowing down the pass rush of David Bailey and the new-look Stanford offense that still utilizes the tight end at a high level.

USC's offensive line depth takes a hit with Gino Quinones out for the season
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and new USCFootball.com senior staff writer Connor Morrissette are in studio LIVE talking about the unfortunate injury to USC offensive guard Gino Quinones . After Tuesday's practice of Stanford week head coach Lincoln Riley told the media that Quinones suffered a lower leg injury and was going to be out for the season. The guys talk about Quinones not only being on the short list to start at one of the guard spots but also his important role as the backup center to veteran Justin Dedich . They also discuss what the players and coaches had to say about facing this new-look Stanford team led by new head coach Troy Taylor and how this is potentially the last time these two rivals play for a long time with USC heading to the Big Ten and Stanford going off to the ACC in 2024. Defensive coordinator Alex Grinch also spoke on Tuesday and the guys talk about some of the defensive improvements they have seen and some of the standout players that Grinch talked about. They also talk about how linebackers Shane Lee and Raesjon Davis stepped up and what Grinch wants to see freshman linebacker Tackett Curtis do differently after being ejected for targeting. Looking ahead to Stanford, Ryan and Connor give their initial thoughts on the Trojans first conference game of the season, facing a potentially dangerous opponent that just got a road win at Hawaii last weekend.

Helium Boys Podcast: Reacting to USC's defensive improvements in blowout win over Nevada, looking forward to the Pac-12 opener & answering your questions.
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return with the Helium Boys Podcast to react to USC's defensive improvements in a 66-14 victory over Nevada that moves the Trojans to 2-0 on the season. The Helium Boys discuss the notable takeaways from the blowout win and why what we've seen in the first two games should still be taken with a bit of skepticism and a grain of salt. Shotgun and Chris introduce a new 'biggest takeaway' segment called the 'Two-Minute Drill' and then break down the victory with Stock Up/Stock Down, discussing who impressed, including a number of offensive players that contributed to an eight-touchdown outing as well as the defense that produced a touchdown of its own. The boys also take a look at the bigger themes that took a step towards being developed in the opener and what has to be cleaned up in Pac-12 play, which starts this weekend for the Trojans when they take on their oldest 'rival,' Stanford. The Helium Boys also preview this week's matchup against the Cardinal, who the Trojans could be playing for the last time in the foreseeable future thanks to conference realignment with USC moving to the Big Ten next July and Stanford recently having announced it is heading to the Atlantic Coast Conference with California and SMU. This Cardinal team won't resemble the Jim Harbaugh and David Shaw teams that focused on pounding opponents with a downhill, old-school rushing attack and big-bodied wide receivers and tight ends, but Stanford still does have some of those weapons with 6-foot-5 receiver John Humphreys and dynamic 6-foot-4 tight end Benjamin Yurosek. A podcast of the people, the Helium Boys also answer your USC mailbag questions about a number of topics spanning from the defending elite tight ends to the future impact of freshman pass rushers Braylan Shelby and Elijah Hughes as well as discussing the insane workload Colorado's Travis Hunter had in the Buffaloes' upset of TCU. Finally, the podcast concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some "Take It or Leave It" prompts both from the Trojans' win over the Wolf Pack, including touchdown celebrations, as well as around college football in Week 1 with grilling and weather phenomena both featured.

Coach Harvey Hyde loves seeing the USC defense having fun during the 66-14 dismantling of Nevada
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about USC's second blowout win of the season, a 66-14 beatdown of the Nevada Wolf Pack Saturday afternoon in the Coliseum. Again the Trojans were a heavy favorite and this time they were able to easily cover the 38-point spread, winning eventually by 52 points. Coach Harvey Hyde starts out talking about the impressive weekend the Pac-12 had, going 12-0 with some huge road wins like Colorado over TCU, Oregon State over San Jose State, Washington State winning at Colorado State and Stanford, USC’s next opponent, getting a win at Hawaii. With the entire conference looking better, it should make the Trojans drive to become Pac-12 champions a little more challenging. Offensively Coach really liked what he saw, saying that that side of the ball looked much improved and in rhythm. He didn’t feel that Caleb Williams was all that happy after the San Jose State game and he was able to do just about anything he wanted as USC gained 668 yards on just 54 plays. MarShawn Lloyd caught the coach's eye and he loved to see him excel as a runner and as a receiver. He also felt the offensive line played well and for the most part kept Caleb safe from being hit. On the defensive side coach loved to see a defense that was having fun out there, playing disciplined, hard and loose. He felt the pass rush was generating much more pressure and they were able to fight off blocks and get into their tackling space quickly. He really liked what he saw from the linebackers, especially Shane Lee and Raesjon Davis who had to play a lot of minutes in this game due to injuries at the position and the targeting ejection of Tackett Curtis . Coach also feels that Nevada was trying to test USC’s corners and how much speed they had with deep throws, including that one early in the game that was a huge play for the Wolf Pack. That is something to watch going forward, other teams really wanting to test these cornerbacks with deep sideline passes. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

How much has the USC defense improved?
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and new USCFootball.com senior staff writer Connor Morrissette are in studio LIVE talking about what USC head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator Alex Grinch had to say following the Trojans 56-28 victory over the San Jose State Spartans. Heading into the game all eyes were on the new-look defense with high expectations for significant improvement over last season. The results were a mixed bag, with four three-and-out drives on the good side and defensive breakdowns leading to four touchdowns on the bad side. We heard from Riley on Trojans Live Monday night and then both Riley and Grinch after practice on Tuesday. The guys talk about what the coaches had to say about the extensive rotation used in the game as well as the good and the bad from the defensive side of the ball. They also discuss the freshman breakout player for the Trojans (and potentially all of college football), former five-star wide receiver Zachariah Branch who shined as a pass catcher, punt returner and of course kickoff returner with his electric 96-yard touchdown. USC has Nevada up next so Ryan and Connor give their thoughts on the game and what they would like to see from the Trojan offense, defense and special teams against an overmatched opponent.

Helium Boys podcast reacting to USC's 56-28 win over San Jose State in the season opener, looking forward to Nevada & answering your questions.
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return for the first in-season Helium Boys Podcast to react to the overreactions of USC's 56-28 win over San Jose State in the season opener. The Helium Boys discuss what should be the big takeaways from the blowout victory and what things should be taken with a grain of salt...at least for now. Shotgun and Chris break down the victory with Stock Up/Stock Down, discussing who impressed, including the obvious -- Zachariah Branch -- and those that might have flown a bit under the radar -- Branch's fellow freshman Elijah Hughes. The boys also take a look at the bigger themes that took a first step towards being developed in the opener and what has to be cleaned up in the next couple weeks to keep the pitchforks at bay. They preview this week's matchup against Nevada, who the Trojans have not played since 1929. Despite the nearly 100-year span between matchups, there should be some familiarity with several known faces on the other side from former Colorado quarterback Brendon Lewis, former Oregon running back Sean Dollars and most notably former Trojans wide receiver John Jackson III and edge rusher Elijah Winston. A podcast of the people, the Helium Boys also answer your USC mailbag questions about a number of topics spanning from the offensive line rotations to the top linebacker pairings and who were their standouts on the defensive side of the ball. Finally, the podcast concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some "Take It or Leave It" prompts both from the Trojans' Week 0 win over the Spartans and inventions that debuted in the year the Wolf Pack and Trojans last played.

For this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Chris Trevino , Jack Smith and Shotgun Spratling are back in studio to talk about this USC football team's season opening 56-28 victory over San Jose State. The Trojans had some lapses on both sides of the ball but were still able to pull away from the Spartans, extending the lead to 35 points before giving up a late garbage time touchdown with backup defenders in the game. The guys talk about what they liked, including an absolute explosive performance by true freshman wide receiver Zachariah Branch , and what they didn't like, including the defense giving up a long touchdown pass late just before halftime that cut the score to 21-14.

Coach Harvey Hyde breaking down the good and the bad from USC's win over San Jose State
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about USC's season opening 56-28 win against San Jose State Saturday night in the Coliseum. The Trojans came in as a heavy favorite and finished up with a 28-point margin of victory, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, especially along both lines and the overall defensive effort as a whole. Coach and Ryan don't pull any punches and share exactly what they though of the job head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator Alex Grinch did against the Spartans. The coach starts off talking about it being an opening game and you really don’t know what to expect. As a coach, you hoped that you covered all scenarios and get the guys ready to play. One of the ways Riley tried to get everyone ready to play, and ready to play the rest of the season, was using mass substitutions throughout the game. We saw three different offensive line combinations in the first four drives and just about everyone on defense was rotating in and out. Coach Hyde thinks that this is great to get more film on guys and see how they perform, but it is also tough for units to get into a rhythm with the personnel changes every drive. Offensively the coach felt it was hard to get a feeling for the run game with the carries being spread out among several backs. He also wouldn’t like to see Caleb Williams running around with run/pass option plays where he can get hit and potentially injured. Overall the balance was good with 33 runs and 33 passes, he just felt like the timing and rhythm was off with so many different personnel packages coming in and out. Defensively the tackling was much better and the players that were playing looked bigger, stronger, faster and more athletic than what was on the field last season. Coach Hyde isn’t as down on this defense as some fans are, and wants everyone to get it a little time. His philosophy is you can’t coach a kid that can’t play and while that was the case last year, it isn’t this season. USC has players that can play and he feels that will show as the season progresses. They also discuss the special player that Zachariah Branch is, with his 232 all purpose yards with a receiving touchdown and a kickoff return for a touchdown. The bad part is Coach Hyde says teams won’t even be kicking to him going forward, he is just too good with the ball in his hands. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Helium Boys Podcast: Post-fall camp re-rank of USCfootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back together for a special behind-the-scenes edition of the Helium Boys Podcast. The Helium Boys work through the process of compiling and debating a post-fall camp re-rank of USCfootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans' list. For the last four seasons, the USCfootball.com staff has counted down the Top 30 Most Important Trojans in a series of offseason articles leading up to the kickoff of fall camp. The last two seasons the amount of turnover on the USC roster has made it a bit of a guessing game trying to decipher and determine the value of newcomers, so we've incorporated a re-rank when the Trojans' football team makes the transition from fall camp to game preparation in the week leading up to the season opener. Each USCfootball.com staff member submits his own list of whom he/she believes will be the most important Trojans. Considerations for the rankings take in a wide range of factors including positional depth, 2022 stats, overall talent, departures from the previous season, projected development and expectations. The only guidance we try to follow is that the most important factor for placement is if this particular player was lost for the season, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The individual lists are submitted and compiled before Shotgun and Chris come together to sift through the information, debate and assemble the official USCfootball.com rankings. In this podcast, the Helium Boys give you a peek behind the curtain, allowing you to listen in on the re-rankings discussion as we sift, sort and come up with the final preseason rankings. The re-rank includes risers like the Masons -- Cobb and Murphy -- as well as players whose importance declined whether through an inability to lock up a starting role or the emergence of other players at the position.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's announced team captains plus his record prediction for the 2023 Trojans
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back talking about the start to the 2023 college football season with the Trojans hosting San Jose State Saturday night in the Coliseum. There is a lot of excitement surrounding the opening of the season and Coach Hyde says it time for the coaches to time everything right so players are fired up for a game on Saturday and not overly hypes so they are game ready on Wednesday. The guys start talking about the newly announced team captains for the season with quarterback Caleb Williams , offensive linemen Justin Dedich and linebacker Shane Lee returning as captains for the second year in a row. They are joined by offensive lineman Jonah Monheim and linebacker Mason Cobb to round out the 2023 captains. Coach Hyde says players know who they have voted for and they know who the leaders are, so it is important that the coaches honor the player’s vote and name their captains accordingly. When the dust settles on Sunday morning what will USC fans be talking about? Coach Hyde feels that this defense is going to make a statement in its first encounter of the season and dominate San Jose State. He feels the defense will show major improvement and the offense will realize that they will be able to rely more on the defense getting stops instead of simply outscoring everyone. Ryan added that he feels the defense needs to generate stops even more so that forcing turnovers, showing that tackling has improved and performances like we saw late last season will be a thing of the past. They finish up the show analyzing USC’s 2023 schedule game by game, talking about where the Trojans could slip up and where they will be challenged and finally what they feel USC’s regular season record will be following the season finale against UCLA. Ryan has the Trojans going 11-1 and Coach Hyde thinks USC can finish the season undefeated. Both feel that to do that Caleb Williams needs to stay healthy and if the defense improves like they both believe it can. As usual the guys answer listener questions via email, text message and voicemail to finish up the show. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

Trojan defensive focusing on consistency and coachability plus USC No. 6 in the AP Poll
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and new USCFootball.com senior staff writer Connor Morrissette are in studio LIVE talking about this Trojan football team entering their "mock game week" as they continue preparations for the highly anticipated 2023 college football season. The squad held a scrimmage over the weekend and was back out on the practice field this week, mimicking what they will be doing next week leading up to the week zero opener against San Jose State. The guys start out talking about what they heard and saw from Monday's practice that featured head coach Lincoln Riley , defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and several defensive players addressing the media after the workout. Riley talked about coming off of their weekend scrimmage and some of the injury issues with the team right now, specifically at inside linebacker where Eric Gentry and Shane Lee have both missed practice time, impacting the overall linebacker depth. This is the first time we have heard from Grinch since USC Media Day before camp started and the talked about the need for consistency and coachability from his players. If they are able to play more consistent and continue to be coachable, he feels this will be a much better defensive team in the fourth quarter. Grinch also talked about some of the cross training that is going on between defensive ends and the rush ends on the defense. The preseason AP poll came out on Monday and the Trojans are in the exact same spot (No. 6) as they were when the coaches poll dropped last week.

Defensive depth improvement is evident in the second week of USC fall camp
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and new USCFootball.com senior staff writer Connor Morrissette were in studio to talking about how this Trojan football team has looked a week and a half into USC fall camp. So far the Trojans have practiced 10 times including their first full pads scrimmage over the weekend. Ryan and Connor talk about what they have seen out on the practice field during the open media windows and what head coach Lincoln Riley and the assistant coaches and players have said following those partially open practices. The guys start out talking about some of the interesting comments Riley had following Tuesday morning's practice, where he focused on how the defensive depth has improved and there are competitive position battles almost everywhere. He said players that saw plenty of playing time last season now find themselves in a real battle to even get on the field now, showing how much deeper a roster (especially on defense) USC has heading into the 2023 college football season. Riley also talked about the first scrimmage of camp (closed to the media) and how it was won by the defense, led by the pass rush of the defensive front. Riley said the battles of the offensive and defensive lines have gone back and forth, as have the overall offensive and defensive battles, but over the weekend in the scrimmage it was the defense that won the day led by safety Zion Branch who had a pick-6 and forced a fumble. Next week is "mock game week" and Riley said it would be critical for guys to put themselves on the radar if they want to play this season. Guys who are playing well next week have a chance separate themselves and earn their spot on the depth chart for the opener against San Jose State.

Coach Harvey Hyde's USC fall camp observations plus the death of the Pac-12
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back talking about a variety of USC football topics as the highly anticipated start of the 2023 college football season inches closer. The guys start off talking about how the Trojans have looked in fall camp so far, with Coach Hyde making it down to campus last week to check out the team. Coach likes to sit by the gate and eyeball the players as the emerge from the locker room, giving him a chance to size everyone up and compare the new players and see the body changes of the veteran players. He also likes the new vantage point the media has from over on the Dedeaux Field bleachers, giving us a chance to see more of what is happening on the field. It also allows us to see the offensive and defensive linemen up close (and Coach Hyde thinks the offensive line is much bigger than he has seen before). He also really likes the depth USC has for their offensive skill positions and still has some concerns about the inside linebacker spots. Next Coach and Ryan discuss the newly released preseason coaches poll where USC came in at No. 6. Some of the Trojans opponents and programs with tight USC connections are ranked including Washington at No. 11, Notre Dame at No. 13, Utah at No. 14 and Oregon at No. 15. USC’s Cotton Bowl opponent Tulane is ranked No. 23, Steve Sarkisian and Texas are No. 12 and Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss are No. 22. The Trojans don’t play Oregon State (No. 18) in the regular season but could face the Beavers in the final Pac-12 Championship Game. The guys final topic is on the death of the Pac-12 and the over 100 years of tradition ruined in large part by former commissioner Larry Scott and the Pac-12 presidents. Both Coach and Ryan think it is a sad day seeing the conference going down in flames like that (though many USC fans don't agree). The Trojans will be in a better spot for sure in the Big Ten, but losing some of those traditional rivals like Cal and Stanford will take a while to get used to.

The Trojans are relatively healthy after first four practices of fall camp 2023
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham , R.J. Abeytia and new USCFootball.com senior staff writer Connor Morrissette will be in studio to recap the first four practices of USC fall camp 2023, two of which were partially open to the media. The Trojans started fall camp early this year because of their week zero game against San Jose State. They held a workout early Friday morning and another early practice on Wednesday, both partially open to the media and both held over on Dedeaux Field (in USC's baseball stadium). The guys talk about what they heard from head coach Lincoln Riley following both workouts, including his thoughts on the health of the overall team. There were a few players that have missed some time early in camp including rush end Romello Height , rush end David Peevy , linebacker Raesjon Davis and defensive back transfer Tre'Quon Fegans . On the offensive line Gino Quinones looked like he moved into one of the starting guard spots with Wyoming transfer Emmanuel Pregnon going back to second team, at least for now. Wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane doesn't get the pub that some of the other new wide receivers do, but according to some of the defensive players he made the most impressive play in fall camp so far. Arizona defensive back transfer Christian Roland-Wallace has arms like a linebacker and is now playing more inside at the nickel spot. He spent all of his career at corner and said he has played inside some against slot receivers and will go wherever the coaches ask him to. Defensive lineman Korey Foreman wasn't available to the media after Wednesday's practice, but Riley talked about his progress and how he is making strides every practice to become a standout player for the Trojans.

Coach Harvey Hyde on the Trojans opening fall camp in preparation for the 2023 football season
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back after a brief hiatus talking about the USC Trojans getting ready to kick off the highly anticipated 2023 college football season, the second year under head coach Lincoln Riley . The Trojans return Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Caleb Williams, a ton of skill talent and a suspect defense that added a lot of new pieces during the off-season. The guys start off talking about how the Trojans were well represented in Las Vegas for Pac-12 Media Day with Riley, Williams and Oklahoma State transfer linebacker Mason Cobb . Overall Coach Hyde didn't feel like the Pac-12 did a good job of propping up what should be a strong conference this season. He felt like there wasn't any positive news and there was no strong leadership showing that would help produce more Pac-12 pride. Speaking of the Pac-12, there was plenty of "unity" talk coming on media day only to have Colorado bolt for the Big 12 just a few days later. Coach Hyde talks about all of the movement with the CU athletic program in hiring Coach Prime, a complete flip of the roster through the NCAA Transfer Portal and now switching conference affiliations. Coach feels like this Pac-12 is to blame for USC, UCLA and now Colorado leaving, going back to how things were run under Larry Scott and the conference presidents and chancellors. They also discuss last week's USC Media Day that gave everyone an opportunity to interview all of the assistant coaches and a few dozen prominent players about their off-season, getting ready for fall camp and of course the upcoming season. And they talk about what day one of USC fall camp was like, with an early morning workout that was over on Dedeaux Field. Coach Hyde loves to check out the early practices because it gives him an opportunity to eyeball the players up close and get a feel for how they have developed over the off-season.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio talking about the the latest USC football commitment from the 2024 recruiting class, Long Beach (Calif.) Millikan four-star wide receiver Ryan Pellum. The 5-foot-11, 170 pound athlete can play on both sides of the ball and initially didn't even have USC in his top-10 schools. But head coach Lincoln Riley and staff put in the work and now the local speedster will be saying home and playing for the Cardinal and Gold in 2024. The guys talk about the impact Pellum can have on this class, what they like about his game and how the Trojans moved up from the No. 57 class in the country at the end of May to now No. 8 in the country, one spot behind No. 7 Oregon in the Pac-12 and behind No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Michigan and No. 6 Penn State in the Big Ten.

Another huge recruiting weekend upcoming for the Trojans
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio talking about the tremendous football recruiting momentum that this Trojan football team has built up with another weekend of blue chip prospects visiting campus on tap. The guys talk about how this USC football recruiting class of 2024 climbed in the rankings from No. 57 all the way up to No. 19 in the country and No. 2 in the Pac-12 with a lot more room to move up with some more top verbal commitments. Last weekend didn't have a high number of visitors but USC did host another Elite Camp with several top prospect on campus working out in front of the Trojans coaching staff. This weekend its back to more major official visits including an extremely impressive group of wide receivers. This week also features a couple of major recruiting events with the Elite 11 Finals taking place in Redondo Beach and the OT7 Finals taking place in Huntington Beach.

Coach Harvey Hyde reacts to USC's future Big Ten football schedule for 2024 and 2025
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back breaking down the huge news that was released last week from the Big Ten, their Flex Protect Plus football scheduling model that will allow all 16 of the teams in the new-look B1G to play everyone in the conference at least once every two years and visit all 15 of the other venues at least once every four years. It also allows for protected rivalries that would be played every year and for the USC Trojans the obvious choices was the UCLA Bruins, keeping that long standing rivalry going. Coach Hyde talks about that new model and also what the USC football schedule will look like going forward in 2024 with the Trojans facing off against LSU in Las Vegas, home games against Notre Dame, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin plus a road test against Penn State. Then 2025 is fun with Georgia Southern (and potentially Clay Helton), Ole Miss, Nebraska and Penn State in the Coliseum with road games against Ohio State, Wisconsin and Notre Dame. These schedules are exciting for the fans, and Coach Hyde thinks the Big Ten did a nice job. He would like to see the conference go one step further and make sure that USC and UCLA were not hosting huge games during the same weekend 20 miles apart. He would like to see that schedule alternate so the Rose Bowl hosts a Big Ten game one weekend then the Coliseum hosts one the following weekend. Overall he thinks these huge games will help both USC and UCLA recruit nationally and generate a lot more exposure for both brands. Coach also gives his thoughts on the shocking departure of Mike Bohn , a move he feels will impact the entire athletic department. Bohn and Brandon Sosna were the guys who brought in Lincoln Riley and now both of them are gone. With the success Riley has already had, is will be up to USC to bring in an athletic director that will work with Riley and get on the same page, not the other way around. Football drives the bus and USC needs to bring in a great leader and administrator, but also one that knows the football program is already rolling in the right direction and can't be derailed.

Initial reaction to the 2024/2025 USC Big Ten schedule release
In this special edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham is joined by Shotgun Spratling to give their initial reaction to the newly released Big Ten football schedule for the 2024/2025 football seasons. The Big Ten announced the removal of divisions and the introduction of the Flex Protect Plus scheduling model that will allow every Big Ten team to play a home and road game against all 15 other conference opponents in a four year period. For the Trojans their protected rival (program you will play every season) is UCLA and in year one USC welcomes Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois to the Coliseum with UCLA, Penn State, Maryland, Northwestern and Purdue on the road (to go along with Notre Dame at home and LSU in Las Vegas). In 2025 USC has Indiana, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State and UCLA at home and Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Rutgers on the road. Initially Ryan and Chris Trevino were scheduled to discuss the massive USC recruiting weekend on Tuesday, but Ryan got ill and we had to postpone the show. So now the guys will spend the latter part of the show talking about how USC hosted more than a dozen class of 2024 official visitors to campus, a well attended USC Elite Camp and what seemed like a constant stream of Fight On! emojis signifying player commitments. The list of scholarship pledges included Modesto (Calif.) Central Catholic four-star offensive lineman Manasse Itete , Clearwater (Fla.) High’s 247Sports Composite four-star safety Jarvis Boatwright, Englewood (Colo.) Cherry Creek offensive tackle Hayden Treter , Gardena (Calif.) Serra four-star defensive back Dakoda Fields and Atlanta (Ga.) Booker T. Washington Top247 edge Kameryn Fountain . USC moved up from No. 57 all the way up to No. 21 in the country and No. 2 in the Pac-12. They did so by adding players that should help balance out the class, not only positionally but also geographically.

Reaction to the abrupt resignation of USC athletic director Mike Bohn
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back together talking about the rather abrupt resignation of USC athletic director Mike Bohn . Friday seemed like it would be a relatively slow news day in the world of college football until the LA Times reported that Bohn has sent his his resignation letter and would stepping down immediately as head of the Trojans athletic department. That was followed shortly after by an acceptance of the resignation letter by USC president Carol Folt , stating that he would no longer be the athletic director as of that day and they would put together a temporary leadership plan while they kick off a national search for a new AD. The guys talk about what both Bohn and Folt said in their statements as well as supportive statements from head football coach Lincoln Riley and head basketball coach Andy Enfield . They also discuss what they have heard about this major shift in the USC athletic department and talk about why Bohn left the job and the department in a much, much better place than he found it when he was hired in 2019. As far as replacement candidates go, the guys would like to see someone with athletic director experience at a major college program this time around. Four years ago USC's athletic department was in shambles with all of the bad hires and scandals and it would have been tough to hire any sitting Power Five AD. Now the department is in amazing shape with most of the sports excelling and the program moving to the greener pastures of the Big Ten, so getting a sitting Power Five AD shouldn't be a problem.

Coach Harvey Hyde on the Trojans in the NFL Draft and the NCAA Transfer Portal window closing
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back breaking down how the former Trojan football players fared in the 2023 NFL Draft. Day one of the draft was an exciting one for sure with three quarterbacks selected in the first four picks and two running backs going before the first wide receiver was selected. At pick No. 20 Seattle selected Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba , starting a historic 4-pick run of wide receivers that included Minnesota snagging USC wide receiver Jordan Addison with the 23rd pick. With the selection of Addison, USC has had a first-round pick in the last four drafts and in six of the last seven years. This is the 22nd consecutive year -- the longest active streak for any college -- a Trojan has been selected in the top three rounds. On the second day of the draft two more former USC football players came off the board. In the second round with the 54th selection the Los Angeles Chargers picked defensive lineman Tuli Tuipulotu , allowing the nation's sack leader to stay home in LA to start his NFL career. Standout USC cornerback Mekhi Blackmon was taken with the No. 102 overall pick to close out the third round. He joins former teammate Jordan Addison in Minnesota. The third day of the draft had one more Trojan go off the board. The Baltimore Ravens selected Andrew Vorhees No. 229 overall, using their seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on the powerful offensive lineman who tore his ACL during the NFL Combine. Several players also signed as undrafted free agents after the draft. Defensive lineman Brandon Pili signed with the Miami Dolphins, offensive lineman Bobby Haskins signed with the Chicago Bears, wide receiver Terrell Bynum signed with the Los Angeles Chargers and running back Travis Dye signed with the New York Jets.

Trojans add a monster from the portal, former five-star DT Bear Alexander
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about the huge news for the Trojans that broke over the weekend with former five-star defensive tackle Bear Alexander announcing that he will become a Trojan. Coming off a national championship season at Georgia, Alexander recently entered the NCAA Transfer Portal and from the jump USC was one of the top schools he was considering. On Sunday Trojan football fans got the good news that the next stop for Bear would be Los Angeles, helping to bolster a position of need for head coach Lincoln Riley and defensive coordinator Alex Grinch . Alexander took an official visit to USC and apparently that was enough to convince the 6-foot-3, 315 pound defensive lineman to become a Trojan. He is the No. 12 player in the portal and the No. 1 defensive lineman according to 247Sports transfer rankings. He is also the fourth defensive lineman added to the roster this off-season, following Anthony Lucas (Texas A&M), Kyon Barrs (Arizona) and Jack Sullivan (Purdue). The guys also discuss what Riley had to say in his post spring Zoom call with the media late last week. He goes over the backup quarterback situation, the depth situation on the defensive line, what he liked about the run game, the ups and downs he saw from the defense, the rush end spot and lots more. They will also talk about the college football rule changes and how that could impact the Trojans, a new commitment for the 2024 recruiting class and the hype around the Colorado spring game with Coach Prime .

Coach Harvey Hyde recaps the USC spring game including a concerning performance by the run defense
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back breaking down what they saw and heard at the USC spring game Saturday in the Coliseum. Both Ryan and Coach Hyde were there taking it all in and they give their biggest takeaways from the game and how this Trojan football team improved during the last six week of spring ball. Starting out with the environment in the Coliseum, Hyde was impressed by the 25,000+ fans that showed up. Everyone was seated on the press box side of the Coliseum and they turned the Pac-12 Network cameras to the far side of the stadium to shoot the side where the crowd was. In order to do that, they also turned around the USC logo at midfield so it was upside down for everyone in the stands. Hyde liked how the halftime Caleb Williams Heisman Trophy presentation went, but he would have loved to have seen something about Reggie Bush getting his Heisman back with the chairman of the Heisman Trust there on the field. Speaking of Williams, he had nothing to prove and only played three plays in the game (going 2 for 2 for 55 yards and a touchdown), but Hyde would have liked to see a little more of him just so the fans in attendance could see the star of the show. He likes how the offensive line looked, saying they are improved and more in place than they were a year ago. The starters from left to right Michael Tarquin , Gino Quinones , Justin Dedich , Jarrett Kingston and Jonah Monheim and Hyde likes the improved depth behind those guys. The running backs were all very impressive, but it gave the coach concern that the defense may still be bad, especially considering the offense averaged over 9 yards per carry. He thinks the offense overall will be even better than last year and he thinks the most impressive newcomer he saw on either side of the ball was former five-star receiver Zachariah Branch . One thing missing was the spark on defense, some head hunters who just go out and make plays and hit people. It still felt to Hyde like the offense was the hammer and the defense was the nail. He feels the defense has a long way to go but overall the talent does look better. At the end of the day, Coach Hyde wants to know if this team is better than last year and better to the point that they can stop some of the top offenses on their schedule like Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Notre Dame and Utah. That is the bar he has set for this team and specifically the defense, can you stop those great offenses you just couldn’t stop last year.

Tunnel Vision: USC 2023 spring game recap and transfer portal updates
Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham , Chris Trevino and Jack Smith in studio breaking down the USC spring game and spring practice overall as the Trojan football team heads into the long off-season. The guys were in the Coliseum for the Saturday scrimmage that featured the defense defeating the offense 42-34 in a modified scoring system. The game was broadcast live on the Pac-12 Network and featured two 15 minute halves with live tackling and a focus on younger players. Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams started the game off with a 3-play, 75 yard touchdown drive and then never entered the game again. After a slow start the defense did bounce back, forcing several turnovers and generating a lot of quarterback pressure to help secure the win. The run game was a bright spot for the Trojan offense, featuring big plays by all of the backs including the two freshmen, Quinten Joyner and A'Marion Peterson , who both scored in the game. The guys talk about all of the players that stood out to them on both sides of the ball and what the players and head coach Lincoln Riley had to say after the game. They also give an update on the NCAA Transfer Portal which reopened on Saturday for two weeks. Cornerback Joshua Jackson Jr. put his name in the portal to start things off and there are several high profile candidates that entered from other teams that the Trojans could be going after.

USC held a bonus practice on Monday afternoon, making up for the a cancelled practice from two weeks ago, and for the first time this spring media was allowed to attend and observe the entire workout. Ryan and Chris talk about what they saw out there on Howard Jones Field including how some of the newer players looked, their overall assessment of the defense and the overall vibe for spring practice No. 12.

Trojan running back depth improving this spring with concerns at tight end
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevin o are back in studio LIVE talking about the the latest news and notes from USC spring practices. On Tuesday the Trojans held spring practice No. 7 with head coach Lincoln Riley , running backs coach Kiel McDonald , quarterback Caleb Williams , tight end Lake McRee , offensive linemen Justin Dedich and receiver Michael Jackson all speaking after the workout. The guys discuss everything they saw and heard from Tuesday's workout and Riley's Saturday Zoom call, with topics ranging the improved depth at running back to the lack of depth at tight end to the addition of defensive analyst Greg Brown. With more able bodies in the running back room, it has allowed sophomore running back Raleek Brown to get more action in the slot this spring. Riley talked about how difficult it is, both physically and mentally, for players to try and master two different positions in college, but said Brown was doing a nice job with it. With Malcolm Epps leaving the program the Trojans only have two health scholarship tight ends left on the roster this spring, but Riley could get getting some good news on that front when five-star tight end Duce Robinson makes his college choice public on Thursday. Riley also talked about how defensive guru Greg Brown can help the defense. "It can be really valuable to have a guy like that that’s extremely experienced, responsible for the whole thing, that comes in and can offer some fresh perspective, a fresh set of eyes that’s not solely responsible for one position group."

Spring practice returns, Malcolm Epps enters the portal plus USC Pro Day
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about the Trojan football team's return to Howard Jones Field for the resumption of spring football practice. On Tuesday, after nearly two weeks away from the field, the players and coaches returned to practice in a rare Los Angeles downpour, with part of the workout moving to the artificial turf of Cromwell Field. After practice instead of conducting interviews outside the media was moved inside Heritage Hall so everyone could be dry talking about USC spring practice No. 4. Head coach Lincoln Riley talked about a number of topics including their plan to acquire more talent from the NCAA Transfer Portal and how he feels that they have improved the roster over what they had last season, including the gap between the starters and the players just behind them. Defensive coordinator Alex Grinch also spoke for the first time since the Cotton Bowl, talking about what went wrong in that game and how he is looking to see improvement in year two of his system. The guys also talk about USC's Pro Day, another rainy affair, where 12 former Trojan players went through drills and testing for NFL scouts. We were able to hear from Andrew Vorhees who put up an inspiring 38 bench press reps of 225 pounds despite tearing his ACL in drills. On Wednesday veteran tight end Malcolm Epps announced on social media that he would be entering the NCAA Transfer Portal as a graduate transfer. The guys talk about what the loss of Epps means and how it opens up another spot for Riley on the roster. They also discuss USC's latest support staff addition, veteran NFL and college defensive back coach Greg Brown plus what transfer running back MarShawn Lloyd said about how Caleb Williams said that sealed his recruitment.

The Trojan basketball team heads to Columbus as a No. 10 seed, taking on No. 7 Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham and special guest Shotgun Spratling are together again recapping their weekend in Las Vegas for the Pac-12 Tournament. The guys were there checking out the Trojan basketball team that was trying to make a run and win a conference title. That wasn’t meant to be as Arizona State knocked off USC in the quarterfinals, sending the Trojans home early. The guys talk about what went wrong in Vegas with Andy Enfield’s squad that wasn’t entirely healthy heading into the tournament and why the extra rest might be just what the doctor ordered heading into the NCAAs. Heck, USC also did the Pac-12 a solid allowing the Sun Devils to get a big win and sneak their way into the field. Depending on the results in Vegas, the Trojans could have been seeded anywhere from 7 to 11, so coming in at No. 10 is about right. The Trojans do get a tough matchup with Michigan State and will be playing the early game on Friday in Columbus (plus it is St. Patrick’s Day, so there will likely be even more green in the stands than normal). It’s a tough draw but coming in as the underdogs can likely serve USC well and give the Trojans a chance to play well and move on to a likely match-up with No. 2 seeded Marquette. Ryan and Shotgun also talk about what they saw from day one of USC spring football last week, the first opportunity the media has been able to check out the new look Trojans. Shotgun started off talking about five-star freshman receiver Zachariah Branch who everyone has been raving about. His potential is off the charts with terrific speed and strength and most everyone is calling him a “without a doubt” type of prospect. They also discuss how the offensive line looks with a few newcomers on the roster and some guys playing different positions as the coaches try to build depth by cross training everyone. True freshman quarterback Malachi Nelson is coming off a non-throwing shoulder injury but he looked good and actually took part in team drills from what Shotgun was told. Freshman defensive back Christian Pierce also looked good with great size, length and a ton of athletic upside. As this was the third practice of the spring with players wearing shoulder pads, there was actual tackling going on. We got to see pursuit drills from the defensive backs as they took angles and brought the ball carrier to the ground, exactly the kind of plays USC’s secondary was missing on last year. Shotgun was also told that there was more tackling throughout the practice after the media was asked to leave.

Coach Harvey Hyde gives his thoughts on how the Trojans looked during the first partially open spring practice
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back talking about USC kicking off spring football 2023 with Lincoln Riley and the exact same coaching staff but a lot of new faces on both sides of the ball. Both Ryan and Harvey were on campus Sunday for the first spring practice where the media was allowed to attend and the guys were able to check out what the players looked like heading out of the tunnel sporting helmets, jerseys and shoulder pads. They also were able to watch the early team stretching where some special teams drills were going on followed by position drills including tackling by the defensive backs and linebackers. Coach Hyde was hanging out right outside the entrance to Howard Jones Field matching up the numbers with the players as they ran across the street and into the workout. One thing he noticed was that most of the players and coaches keep their eyes straight ahead in a very business-like manner, not looking at or engaging the media that was filming and observing them as they entered practice. Some of the players that caught Hyde’s eye were on the offensive line, with Mason Murphy looking bigger and more like a real college offensive tackle along with Florida transfer Michael Tarquin who also stood out. Freshman quarterback Malachi Nelson reminded Coach of one of his former players when he was a freshman, Randall Cunningham , noting that both are/were tall, thin and athletic. He noted that Nelson and Caleb Williams were running side by side like they were handcuffed together. Texas A&M defensive line transfer Anthony Lucas passed the eye test, looking like someone who can contribute right away for the Trojans. He also liked Georgia State rush end transfer Jamil Muhammad , but thought he would be a little taller, and thought Purdue transfer Jack Sullivan passed the eye test. South Carolina running back transfer MarShawn Lloyd looked “studly” to Coach Hyde along with freshman five-star wide receiver Zachariah Branch.

Coach Harvey Hyde says the honeymoon is over for USC football and the real work begins now
On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde talk about the importance of the spring practices for this USC football team that is looking to make some major improvements heading into year two of the Lincoln Riley era, including winning the Trojans first Pac-12 Championship since 2017 and making the squads first appearance in the College Football Playoffs. Coach Hyde equates last season to a wedding between USC football and Riley, where everyone got together and welcomed in a new staff and a bunch of new players. Excitement levels were high for this new “relationship” with good vibes and eternal hope. Riley delivered with 11 wins and a Heisman Trophy for Caleb Williams, so what will happen in year two? Coach Hyde says the honeymoon is over and now the real work begins, focusing on achieving higher team goals. This is the Trojans last season in the Pac-12 and the rest of the league knows it. Not only does USC have a target on its back, the competition in the Conference of Champions is better than ever. The Trojans desperately need to show improvements this season for any chance at a championship run and to build some momentum heading into year one in the Big 10. There is no time for the Trojans to rest on their laurels, improvements need to happen over the next six weeks during spring practice.

Projecting the depth chart as USC kicks off spring football this weekend
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about USC releasing the official spring football schedule which is slightly different from what was Tweeted out before from a Trojan athletics staff member. The first spring practice will be held this Sunday, March 5 with two more practices on Tuesday and Wednesday (March 7 and 8) before the university goes on spring break. The squad will get back at it on Tuesday March 21 with a regular Tuesday, Thursday Saturday rotation for four weeks straight, leading up to the spring game on Saturday, April 15. Some practices will be partially open to the media and some will also have player and coach availability for interviews after practice. We are expecting an official spring prospectus and roster sometime before the first practice. With spring practice starting up this weekend, our Chris Trevino analyzed the roster and made his projections for how the offensive and defensive depth charts will look like. The guys take a look at Chris' depth charts and comment on which position groups could have the most intrigue throughout spring football. On the recruiting front the NCAA dead period ends on Wednesday, March 1, so the football program can once again start hosting visitors to campus including prospects coming to what the Trojans during spring practices. As the Trojans off-season workouts wind down, strength and conditioning coach Bennie Wylie threw a new wrinkle into his program, hosting a game of dodgeball for all of the players and coaches. CBS also gives their best guest on which Big Ten programs will be pegged to be USC's "permanent" opponents starting in 2024 and the Pac-12 is moving its 2023 media day (the Trojans last) to Las Vegas, held on July 21.

Trojan off-season workouts heating up as spring football approaches
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about what strength and conditioning coach Bennie Wylie has been up to (thanks social media) when it comes to preparing the players for spring football. We have seen lots of new faces in the weight room and out on the practice field and the guys are pushing harder than ever in preparation for the 2023 college football season. The guys also talk about the latest developments on the USC NIL front including the end of the entity previously known as BLVD and two new entrants into Trojan football NIL space, The Tommy Group and Jake Olson's Engage. Both entities held kickoff events last week and Ryan was at both of them, so he talks about what those events were about and how they plan to help USC football win more games. USC is on the way out of the mess that is the Pac-12 and the fate of the remaining 10 programs is very much in doubt. Commissioner George Kliavkoff is in scramble mode trying to ink a lucrative media rights deal for his member institutions and simultaneously looking at expansion possibilities all the while trying to fend off vultures from the Big Ten and Big 12 who could poach any programs that aren't happy with the money from the TV deal.

Coach Harvey Hyde on where USC needs to improve heading into spring ball and the future of the Pac-12
This week on the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde talk about where this Trojan football team needs to improve heading into spring football. Head coach Lincoln Riley kept his staff the same and tried to improve the roster through the NCAA Transfer Portal and high school recruiting. Coach Hyde shares what areas of the program he would prioritize when it comes to team improvement, starting with the defense that overly relied on turnovers and special teams that likely cost USC's loss in the Cotton Bowl. They also discuss the future of the Pac-12 with commissioner George Kliavkoff scrambling to try and put together a lucrative television deal for the remaining 10 members and potentially some new schools joining the Conference of Champions. The clock is ticking on USC and UCLA's time in the Pac-12, with both programs officially heading to the Big Ten starting in July of 2024. Trojans and the Bruins will be able to take advantage of the B1G's massive TV rights deal with Fox, CBS and NBC, one of the main reasons the Los Angeles schools decided to bolt. Kliavkoff was optimistic that the remaining schools would be able to negotiate an attractive media rights deal that would keep schools like Oregon, Washington, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State happy, but according to reports the Pac-12 is facing major challenges and the future viability of the conference is in doubt. The guys talk about some of the rumors that are floating around out there, from a potential merger with the Big 12 to adding San Diego State and SMU to the mix with Amazon taking over all of the Pac-12's tier one television rights. While it may not matter as much to USC and UCLA since they are leaving the Pac-12, the two schools are still part of the West Coast and the changing landscape could have an impact on both programs. If a Pac-12 TV deal with a grant of rights locking the programs in isn't signed soon, the potential for more instability increases and we could see the conference fracture. One more defection would likely be a death blow to the Conference of Champions, creating another huge wave of conference realignment. If that happens, some potential West Coast additions in the B1G could be on the table, bringing some positives and negatives for the LA schools. On one hand it would be nice to have a "pod" of West Coast teams to help with some of the travel challenges, but it could also help boost up a recruiting rival like Oregon who has had a lot of success poaching prospects from Southern California. The guys also talk about now USC's name, image and likeness landscape is changing, with one established organization restructuring their operation and two new NIL entities jumping on the scene. Ryan was at two USC NIL kickoff events last week and he talks about some of what he learned about these new organizations and how they plan to try and help the T

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE discussing the newly updated 2023 USC Trojan Football Scholarship Distribution Chart which currently shows 90 players on scholarship, 5 more than the NCAA mandated 85 limit. The guys breakdown the numbers by class and position and compare how the roster stacks up with the 2022 version. They also discuss how head coach Lincoln Riley needs to remove at least five players before this summer when the 2022 roster officially changes over to 2023. The countdown to spring football is on with workouts starting in just a couple of weeks. Our own Chris Trevino has been putting together lists of players to watch for this spring and he discusses some of his selections on the show. His latest piece discusses five Trojans who need to have a big spring like edge rusher Korey Foreman , linebacker Raesjon Davis and offensive lineman Courtland Ford . There have also been a few support staff changes for the guys to discuss including former Oklahoma starting defensive back Bookie Radley-Hiles . Heisman winning quarterback Caleb Williams was in Phoenix for the Super Bowl and during his First Things First appearance he set some lofty goals for his junior campaign including 60 touchdowns and 5,000 passing yards. And speaking of the Super Bowl, former Trojan wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster had a big night for the Kansas City Chiefs en route to his first Super Bowl victory.

USC spring practice schedule released plus Duce Robinson deadline announced
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE discussing the newly released USC football spring practice schedule that kicks off sooner than usual (in less than a month) due to the week zero game against San Jose State. The first spring practice will be on Saturday, March 4 with practices held Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The Trojans will get the week of March 13 off for spring break and the practices will end with the annual spring game held on April 15. At this point we have no other details about spring practice but we are assuming all workouts other than the spring game will be closed to the public as they were last year. Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle five-star tight end Duce Robinson was at USC over the weekend to compete in the Area Code Select West baseball event. He told 247Sports recruiting analyst Blair Angulo that he set a deadline to make his college decision on April 1. Robinson wants to be able to sign with a school by then and be ready for whenever move-in day is. The guys also discuss the latest commitment for the Trojans, bringing some help on special teams with kicker Tyler Robles . The big-legged kicker from La Costa Canyon (Calif.) will join the team as a preferred walk-on and is part of USC's 2023 recruiting class. They also discuss some early projections for USC's 2023 regular season win totals, what we have been able to learn on social media from the Trojans off-season workouts and Caleb Williams being the honorary starter at the NASCAR Clash at the Coliseum on Sunday.

Coach Harvey Hyde previews National Signing day for the Trojans
This week on the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde preview what could happen on Wednesday for the Trojans, the traditional National Letter of Intent Day for the 2023 recruiting class. With the early signing period in December and the NCAA Transfer Portal now closed to new entrants until May, there aren't expected to be many busy fax machines going in the John McKay Center Wednesday morning, but there are a couple of high profile uncommitted prospects that head coach Lincoln Riley has on his radar so it has the potential to be a great day for USC football. Gardena (Calif.) Serra four-star cornerback Rodrick Pleasant is set to make his announcement at his high school at 10:30 a.m. PT on February 1. Ryan recently saw Pleasant out in Hawaii for the Polynesian Bowl and the speedster would be a welcomed addition to the Trojan secondary. Before heading off to Hawaii he took an official visit to USC and he is closed with Trojan defensive backs coach Donte Williams . Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle five-star tight end/wide receiver Duce Robinson was also set to make his college choice known on Signing Day but there has been some recent buzz that Robinson could delay his decision and wait until later to sign. The baseball/football star is a match-up nightmare and Ryan was also able to check him out at the Poly Bowl. Many recruiting analysts feel Robinson is heading to Georgia, but the Trojans still have a good shot to bring in one of the top prospects on the West Coast. Currently the Trojans have the No. 15 ranked high school class for the 2023 cycle and No. 2 in the Pac-12 behind No. 10 Oregon. USC has 20 prospects signed currently and if Riley was able to add Pleasant and Robinson it would move the team up into the top-8 for high school class rankings. USC has the No. 5 ranked transfer class for the 2023 cycle with 12 total transfer commits. The Trojans are No. 2 in the Pac-12 transfer classes behind No. 4 Colorado and their 23 transfer commits. For the overall rankings with high school and transfers combined USC comes in at No. 8 nationally and No. 1 in the Pac-12 with Oregon at No. 10 being the closest competition. Colorado (21), UCLA (24) and Utah (25) are the only other Pac-12 programs in the top-25 rankings for overall class. Coach Hyde also talked about some of the advantages and disadvantages of the Trojans playing a week zero game against San Jose State, setting up USC with an extra week of practice and a potential opportunity to get a rest before the Pac-12 Championship Game. Coach Hyde isn't a fan of bye weeks at the end of the year, especially if his team is on a roll. While the rest is good, it can really break up your rhythm and timing. He says he important thing is to not dwell on your schedule, something that is out of your control. You play the game each week that is on the schedule

Trojans well represented in Hawaii at the Polynesian Bowl plus huge OL help from the portal
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE for the first time in a while, talking about all of the latest news and notes around the Trojan football team and recruiting as we approach the more traditional Signing Day. Ryan is fresh off of his trip to Hawaii for the Polynesian Bowl where several USC signees and a couple of Trojan targets were in action. Last week the Pac-12 released the official 2023 football schedule so Chris and Ryan give their thoughts on how things panned out for the Trojans with an easier start to the season and a tough road late including 9-straight weeks of games and a bye before a potential berth in the Pac-12 Championship Game. The guys talk about how the future Trojans looked and if Lincoln Riley will be able to land two huge uncommitted targets from the game, Gardena (Calif.) four-star cornerback Rodrick Pleasant and Phoenix (Ariz.) Pinnacle five-star tight end Duce Robinson . The guys also take a look at where USC stands now that the NCAA Transfer Portal has closed to new entrants and what they think about wide receiver Kyle Ford heading across town to attend UCLA. Chris give his assessment of where the Trojans are as far as recruiting goes including the latest official visitors and some interesting scholarship offers including a quarterback from the 2026 class. During the live show there was also some breaking news that the guys talk about. First Florida offensive lineman Ethan White announced that he was signing with USC. White has 20 career starts in the interior of the offensive line over the past two years and can be a plug and play guy for the Trojans.

Discussing the USC fan reaction to Lincoln Riley retaining defensive coordinator Alex Grinch
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino give their reaction to all of the mostly negative fan reaction to USC head coach Lincoln Riley's decision to retain embattled defensive coordinator Alex Grinch . During a two hour sit down with Riley this week, he told local media that he wanted to keep continuity with the coaching staff and no changes would be made heading into the 2023 football season. Specifically with Grinch, he emphasized that his defenses had some really good performances this season but the consistency wasn't there, especially late in the season. Riley did not want to make a rash, emotional decision based on data from one year. He knows Grinch had great results at previous stops and when he arrived at Oklahoma he turned around a bad defense and Riley is confident that USC's defense will be much improved in 2023. Both Ryan and Chris talk about how upset many USC fans were to learn that Riley was going forward with Grinch. Both hosts understand how the defense was terrible this season, but they also think that Riley took a 4-8 team and rebuilt the roster, won 11 games, won the Heisman Trophy, beat both rivals UCLA and Notre Dame and was a play away from the College Football Playoff. Riley made a lot of good decisions about this football program and both feel that he should be given the benefit of the doubt about the future of this defense.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's defense that put up no resistance against Tulane's attack in the Cotton Bowl
This week on the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham take a deep dive into USC’s defensive shortcomings that sunk the Trojans chances at a Cotton Bowl championship and a 12-win season. After falling to Tulane 46-45 and giving up 16 points in the final four minutes of the game, Coach Hyde questioned why the coaching staff didn’t try something, anything, different to at least slow down a Green Wave attack that essentially faced no resistance from Trojan defenders. Coach Hyde wanted to see USC blitzing much more often, bringing extra rushers from different spots in an attempt to disrupt Tulane offensive plays before they could get started. Blitzing can be high risk, high reward, but USC was already giving up big play after big play, mitigating the risk of bringing extra defenders.

The Trojans were up 45-30 with just over four minutes left, had 13 more first downs, controlled the ball for nearly 40 minutes, never punted, never turned it over on downs, had Caleb Williams throw for 462 yards and five touchdowns, generated four sacks on defense and only allowed eight completions and still lost.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham welcomes in Tulane Green Wave sideline reporter Maddy Hudak to give USC fans some insight into the Trojans Cotton Bowl opponent. Maddy is a Tulane graduate that provides insights from the field for all of the Green Wave football games. She also covers the New Orleans Saints for The Saints Wire and is a regular on sports radio in the Crescent City. We talk to Maddy about the incredible turnaround for Tulane, from going 2-10 last season to 11-2 this year, giving the Green Wave their first major bowl bid since 1939. Maddy talks about what head coach Willie Fritz did to reverse his team's fortunes, including making a very late offensive philosophical shift over the summer after the team didn't look as good as he wanted moving the ball in the spring. They also talk about some of the star players for Tulane including running back Tyjae Spears who lead the Green Wave with 212 rushes for 1376 and 15 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 6.5 yards per carry. Quarterback Michael Pratt has also shined in this new offense, completing 64.5% of his passes while throwing for 2776 yards, 25 touchdowns and five interceptions. He is also the second leading rusher on the team with 10 rushing touchdowns on the ground. If you have a question for Ryan and Chris you can drop them an email at podcast@uscfootball.com.

Tunnel Vision: Trojans collapse in Las Vegas, fall to Utah 47-24
Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino along with intern Jack Smith in studio talking about the Trojans disappointing performance in Las Vegas, falling 47-24 to the Utes in the Pac-12 Championship. USC finished the season 11-2 with both losses coming at the hands of Utah. With the victory Kyle Whittingham's squad will be going to the Rose Bowl for the second-straight season and with the loss Lincoln Riley and the Trojans miss out on a spot in the College Football Playoff, settling for a Cotton Bowl match-up with Tulane. The guys talk about USC's fast start, jumping out to a 17-3 lead, followed by star quarterback Caleb Williams popping his hamstring and Utah going on a 44-7 run to finish the game. Williams gutted out the rest of the game after his first quarter injury and despite the loss he is still the overwhelming favorite to win the Trojans eighth Heisman Trophy. The crew will also take a look back at the incredible first season under Riley that included 11 regular season wins, victories over both rivals UCLA and Notre Dame, an appearance in the Pac-12 Championship, a New Year's Six bowl berth and of course a Heisman Trophy.

Coach Harvey Hyde, on the one year anniversary of USC hiring Lincoln Riley, discusses the win over Notre Dame and finishing the season 11-1
Exactly one year ago today USC athletic director Mike Bohn shocked the college football world and hired head coach Lincoln Riley away from Oklahoma. What a difference a year makes, going from 4-8 to 11-1 with a shot at the Pac-12 Championship, the College Football Playoffs and a Heisman Trophy winner. Coach Harvey Hyde gives his thoughts on the quick and decisive turnaround Riley has made for this Trojan football program, capped by the controlling 38-27 victory over rival Notre Dame Saturday night in the Coliseum. Coach Hyde talks about the huge national exposure this USC football team is receiving with fans excited and alumni fired up about the program, right where he thinks the Trojans should be. For the second week in a row Hyde loved the way this USC defense was able to take away the soul of both the UCLA and Notre Dame programs, running the football. The defense played hard and fast and forced both the Bruins and the Irish to play outside of their comfort zone instead of relying on their bread and butter, run-first mentality. Once again the Trojans were able to take care of the ball and force turnovers, doing just enough to allow the offense to keep ND in the distance. Speaking of the offense, quarterback Caleb Williams continues to mystify and frustrate opposing defenses by showing off his moves and abilities and having fun while he’s doing it. Coach Hyde loves that this offense believes it can run the football now and thinks Austin Jones is a great back who runs hard and it really hard to stop. Williams has proven himself to be the most important player in the country when it comes to his team winning and Hyde thinks he is a lock to become USC’s eighth Heisman Trophy winner. Looking ahead to Friday night in Las Vegas Coach Hyde thinks USC is a different team now and that the Trojans have come together as a program. The game with Utah in Salt Lake City should be very different than the Pac-12 Championship Game in Las Vegas and Coach Hyde wants to see USC try and take away the Utes ground game and of course limit tight end Dalton Kincaid’s contributions this time around.

Tunnel Vision: USC takes care of business against Notre Dame, fill face Utah for Pac-12 Championship
Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino along with intern Jack Smith in studio talking about this incredible run by Lincoln Riley and the Trojans, capping off an 11-1 regular season with wins over both rivals including Saturday night's controlling 38-27 victory over the Notre Dame. Quarterback Caleb Williams had four more touchdowns, including three on the ground, and set USC's season record for TDs by a quarterback with 44. His huge performance on a national stage has made him an overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy heading into the Pac-12 Championship game. Speaking of the conference title game, the Trojans now know they will get an opportunity to revenge their only loss of the season by playing Utah (9-3, 7-2 in the Pac-12) in Las Vegas Friday night. The Utes needed to beat Colorado, UCLA to beat Cal, Oregon State to beat Oregon and finally Washington to win the Apple Cup. All of that transpired over the weekend so Utah will have an opportunity to win back-to-back Pac-12 titles and knock the Trojans out of the College Football Playoffs. The guys talk about USC's huge win over the Fighting Irish, discuss their now very clear path to the school's first appearance in the CFP, what Caleb Williams needs to do (or not do) in order to win the Heisman and lots more.

USC has already punched its ticket to Las Vegas but the Notre Dame game still looms large
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about the highly emotional 48-45 win for No. 5 USC over UCLA in the Rose Bowl, a result that punched the Trojans ticket to Las Vegas for a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game against an opponent that has yet to be determined. But sitting at 10-1 USC still has a lot to play for in the final weekend of the regular season with No. 13 Notre Dame coming to town. A win against the Irish keeps USC alive in the College Football Playoff race and if that is followed by a conference championship the chances of making the four-team playoff field would be extremely high. The guys give their thoughts on what it was like Saturday night in Pasadena with players, coaches and fans showing an outpouring of emotions, talk about who the potential opponents could be in Las Vegas, look ahead to Notre Dame and the extra implications a win against the Irish would bring into play and lots more.

Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino along with intern Jack Smith in studio talking about one of the most memorable and exciting football games in USC history, a 48-45 Trojan victory over UCLA in the Rose Bowl that secured a trip to Las Vegas to play for the Pac-12 Championship in Lincoln Riley's first season. The 10-1 Trojans, now ranked No. 5 in the latest AP Poll, also keep their College Football Playoff hope alive with an opportunity to play two more ranked teams to end the season, No. 13 Notre Dame on Saturday followed by either No. 10 Oregon, No. 12 Utah or No. 14 Washington in the conference championship the following Friday. Two wins and the Trojans have an excellent chance at making the first College Football Playoff appearance in program history. The team talks about how crazy of a game this was, giving their perspective from being on the field at the Rose Bowl. A record performance for quarterback Caleb Williams who is front and center in the Heisman race and another huge turnover night for the USC defense including a game clinching interception for Korey Foreman .

Where Coach Harvey Hyde ranks USC's 48-45 win over UCLA in Mount Rushmore of Rose Bowl games
This week on the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham give their thoughts on a very special game for the USC football team, not just for the young Lincoln Riley era, but for the history of the Trojan football program and the Rose Bowl itself. After falling behind 14-0 early on, Riley and the Trojans fought back thanks to the arm of Caleb Williams , the legs of Austin Jones and the turnovers forced by USC's opportunistic defense, none bigger than former five-star Korey Foreman's interception of Dorian Thompson-Robinson during UCLA's last minute comeback attempt. The guys also talk about how injuries impacted the game with the loss of one very important player, running back Travis Dye , and the return of what turned into another very important player, wide receiver Jordan Addison . With Dye out for the remainder of the season Jones knew he would have to step up and he used Dye as inspiration, writing the No. 26 on his wrist in tribute to his fallen teammate. Jones didn't disappoint, rushing 21 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns and adding four catches on as many targets for 57 yards. And after a quiet return against Colorado last week Addison broke out big time, catching 11 passes on 13 targets for 178 yards and a 35-yard touchdown that Williams dropped perfectly into his arms down the right sideline. After the game the rush of emotions from players and coaches out on the field were tangible. The Trojans took the high road during the week and didn't make any comments about their hatred towards UCLA or what they planned to do, unlike DTR, who declared they would put up 60 on USC like they did last year. The guys took all of that in and let their play speak for itself Saturday night and when it was over there was an outpouring of emotion everywhere you looked. Players gathered around the Victory Bell taking their turns to ring it, putting up four's-down hand signals and joining in with the Trojan Marching Band as they played Tusk almost on repeat after the game. There were also long embraces between players and coaches including guys who had difficult journeys in their USC playing career to get to a place this high. Foreman stands out for sure, but guys like Kyle Ford and Tuli Tuipulotu and Calen Bullock who were on this 4-8 squad last year and are enjoying every minute of what Tuipulotu called their "revenge tour." Somehow in Riley's first campaign at Troy he has his squad in the Pac-12 Championship game after his 10-1 overall start and 8-1 in conference and there is even more to play for beyond a conference title. His Trojans, with a win over Notre Dame next weekend, will likely be playing for the program's first College Football Playoff berth in Las Vegas. If USC wins out and finishes Pac-12 champions at 12-1,

Tunnel Vision: Trojans trounce Buffaloes and are one win away from playing for Pac-12 championship
Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham along with intern Jack Smith and special contributor Anthony Gharib breaking down the Trojans Friday night victory over the Colorado Buffaloes in the Coliseum. USC started off slow with just 8 yards of offense in the third quarter, trailing CU 3-2 after the first 15 minutes of the game. But the Trojans turned it on, scoring 24 unanswered points heading into halftime en route to a dominating 55-17 win. With the two big rivalry games looming, USC needed to get some momentum going and an overmatched Colorado squad was just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately for the Trojans the win came at a cost with the team's top running back and emotional leader Travis Dye going down with a leg injury. Dye was mobbed by the entire team on the field before he was carted off and after the game head coach Lincoln Riley confirmed that Dye would be done playing for the season, but would still be contributing to the team in other ways. The guys talk about what Lincoln Riley had to say after the game, how Alex Grinch assessed the defensive performance and what the players talked about including Dye's leadership, Tuli Tuipulotu's production and Calen Bullock's athletic interception.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's 55-17 win over Colorado and the devastating Travis Dye injury
This week on the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham talk about USC's 55-17 win over Colorado in the Coliseum on Friday night. The Trojans needed to build some momentum heading into the rivalry games and they were able to do that with a 38-point win, but it came with a cost, losing running back Travis Dye for the rest of the season. Dye went down with a leg injury in the second quarter and had to be carted off the field in an air cast. After the injury he was surrounded by every single player on the team, showing their support for one of the unquestioned leaders on this squad. Coach talks about what Dye meant to this program and how they will try and fill the void at running back going forward. Coach also talks about why it is great winning on a Friday night, allowing you to watch the rest of your opponents play on Saturday from the comfort of your own couch. He says it was also a great opportunity for this Trojan defense to play with an overmatched opponent and give that side of the ball some confidence and momentum heading into a tough test against UCLA this coming weekend. Speaking of UCLA, with Oregon's loss head coach Lincoln Riley knows his Trojan squad can make the Pac-12 Championship game if they take care of business Saturday evening in the Rose Bowl. A win over the Bruins guarantees a trip to Las Vegas for USC and an opportunity for a conference championship after last year's 4-8 season.

USC looking to make a statement against Colorado
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about the Trojans narrow 41-35 win over California and looking ahead to the important Friday night match-up with Colorado. The Buffaloes are not a great program right now and the Trojans are a 34-point favorite, but for Lincoln Riley this game represents the opportunity to potentially get some players back from injury and more importantly try to fix the defensive issues before facing off against UCLA and Notre Dame to close out the season. The guys talk about what was said by Riley, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and the players during this short week including the latest injury update that could mean USC fans get to see wide receiver Jordan Addison and linebacker Ralen Goforth back out on the field.

Tunnel Vision: Trojans secure homecoming win over Cal but defensive concerns loom
Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Shotgun Spratling and Ryan Abraham along with intern Jack Smith breaking down the Trojans homecoming victory over the California Golden Bears Saturday night in the Coliseum. USC was one again without the services of wide receivers Jordan Addison and Mario Williams and linebackers Eric Gentry and Ralen Goforth but did see the return of Korey Foreman and offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees . The USC offense punted five times, but still was able to put up 41 points behind 100-yard receiving games by Tahj Washington and Michael Jackson III . But the defense started poorly and finished worse, allowing Cal QB Jack Plummer to throw for over 400 yards, 128 more yards than his season high. The guys talk about what Lincoln Riley had to say after the game about being very proud of getting win No. 8 and how hard victories are to come by, while also acknowledging that they didn't play their best on offense, defense or special teams.

Coach Harvey Hyde gives his Halloween takes on USC's win over Arizona
This week on the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham are back together again talking USC's 45-37 road win over Arizona. It was another impressive performance for the Trojan offense including quarterback Caleb Williams who had a personal best 411 passing yards and five more touchdown passes, giving him 10 over the past two road games. The defense was another story with over 500 yards surrendered yet again, but Coach Hyde thinks a lot of that had to do with great Arizona offense as opposed to poor USC defense.

Tunnel Vision: Recapping the Trojans 45-37 win over the Wildcats in Tucson
Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino along with intern Jack Smith breaking down the Trojans bounce-back victory over the Wildcats in Tucson. USC had a bye week to heal up after the physical road loss to Utah but was still without the services of wide receivers Jordan Addison and Mario Williams , linebackers Eric Gentry and Ralen Goforth , rush end Korey Foreman and offensive lineman Andrew Vorhees . Even though Arizona is an overmatched opponent on paper, losing your top-two receivers, top offensive lineman and top linebacker on the road would be challenging for most teams. The guys talk about how Lincoln Riley and his squad were able to overcome those losses (plus some extra adversity courtesy of the Pac-12 officials) and still secure what he called his most proud victory of the season. Quarterback Caleb Williams had yet another All-American like performance with a career high 411 passing yards and 5 more touchdowns to give him 10 TDs over the past two road contests. They also discuss what was another rough outing for the defense, giving up over 500 yards yet again including 141 yards and three touchdowns to Wildcat receiver Dorian Singer .

Trojans survive in Tucson, defeat the Wildcats 45-37
In this special airport edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham chats with Chris Trevino following USC's 45-37 road victory over Arizona. Chris was in Wildcat Stadium to witness the game in person and he chats with Ryan from the Tucson airport about everything he saw and heard from the Trojans victory. The guys discuss what was a record-breaking night for quarterback Caleb Williams who threw for a career best 411 yards and 5 touchdowns, giving him 10 touchdown passes over the last two games (both on the road). He put up those crazy numbers despite not having his top-two receivers in the lineup with him as both Jordan Addison and Mario Williams made the trip but did not play against Arizona. Williams also had a shuffled offensive line protecting him with Andrew Vorhees out, Justin Dedich moved to his spot at left guard, Jonah Monheim moved from right tackle to Dedich's place at right guard and Mason Murphy making his first start at right tackle. Defensively it was yet another game giving up over 500 yards, something defensive coordinator Alex Grinch can't be happy about. USC was without linebackers Eric Gentry and Ralen Goforth and rush end Korey Foreman and the defense wasn't able to overcome the losses, allowing 7.9 yards per play to the Wildcats. And of course the guys discuss another horrendous call by Pac-12 officials that caused head coach Lincoln Riley to go on a tirade, yelling at the officials as the team was heading into the locker room for halftime.

The Wildcats have one of the most explosive offenses in the conference with Washington State transfer quarterback Jayden de Laura pulling getting the ball to a host of great receivers, but on defense the Wildcats are one of the worst units in the Pac-12 and will have to try and slow down Caleb Williams , Travis Dye and an extremely potent USC offense.

Can the Trojans stumble in Salt Lake City propel this team to a Pac-12 Championship run?
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio digesting the Trojans heartbreaking 43-42 loss to Utah in Salt Lake City. The setback certainly stings but the guys talk about whether or not they feel that this USC football team can bounce back and use it as a motivating factor going forward, propelling them to a potential conference championship in Lincoln Riley's first season. They also breakdown what they saw and heard from USC's Tuesday morning BYE week practice and give some early assessments of what USC can expect for the next game, a road trip to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats. Arizona can certainly put points on the board so it could be another difficult task for this struggling Trojan defense, but the offense should flourish against the Wildcats who have surrendered exactly 49 points in each of their three conference losses.

Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino along with intern Jack Smith breaking down the Trojans heartbreaking 43-42 loss to the Utes. The USC offense came out of the gate with a bang, scoring touchdowns on its first three drives despite dealing with the intense crowd noise at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The defense was a different story, failing to get stops and having no answers for quarterback Cameron Rising and tight end Dalton Kincaid . The guys talk about what went right and what went wrong in Salt Lake City, how the Pac-12 officiating impacted the game and if head coach Lincoln Riley could have done anything differently down the stretch. Quarterback Caleb Williams had an All-American like performance, completing 25 of 42 passes for 381 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran for 97 positive yards including a 55-yard scamper in the first quarter, but his total rushing yards was 57 because of 40 yards lost in sacks. Jordan Addison and Mario Williams led the way for the receivers, combining for 11 catches for 251 yards and a touchdown.

It was another amazing performance by Trojan defensive lineman Tuli Tuipulotu who picked up four tackles for loss including three sacks. He helped USC's defenders limit the Cougars to just 49 passing yards and zero points after halftime. Offensively the passing game wasn't clicking so the Trojans relied on Travis Dye who ran for nearly 150 yards and a touchdown.

Sunday night Tunnel Vision is back with USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino along with intern Jack Smith breaking down the Trojans 42-25 win over the Sun Devils. It may not have been as clean as some USC football fans would have liked, but it was 17-point victory over a conference foe that brought the team to 5-0 already surpassing the team's win total from a year ago. The guys talk about the offense getting back on track thanks to quarterback Caleb Williams ' epic night with four total touchdowns and nearly 400 yards of offense, Travis Dye finding the end zone two more times and receiver Jordan Addison eclipsing the 100-yard mark yet again. The guys also talk about the defensive performance that left a lot to be desired, especially in the first half. But Alex Grinch 's squad was able to bounce-back after halftime and really force the issue with pressures, tackles for loss and eventually Calen Bullock 's interception that ended the Sun Devils' final threat. Plus nagging special teams concerns have grown into a potential problem with way too many yards of field position being surrendered in the kicking game.

Typically USC has been on the wrong end of games where an interim coach has been involved since the Trojans were typically the team that had recently fired their head coach. This week the role is reversed with Herm Edwards out and Arizona State being run by interim head coach Shaun Aguano . The guys go over how this Arizona State squad has looked so far in 2022 (not good) and where things could get dangerous for USC if the Sun Devils somehow get all of their ducks in a row. Tune in live and get fired up for another exciting Pac-12 match-up for 2022 Trojan football season!

Peristyle Podcast - No. 6 Trojans survive Corvallis and return home to "get right" against ASU
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio LIVE talking about the Trojans narrow 17-14 victory over Oregon State up in Corvallis. It was a bit of a role reversal for Lincoln Riley's squad with the defense leading the charge while the offense sputtered most of the night, getting things going just enough in the final quarter to pull out the victory. On the defensive side Alex Grinch and his squad held OSU to just 14 points and one of those Beaver touchdowns came on an extremely short field when Oregon State started at USC's 22 yard-line in the fourth quarter. The defense again came up with some key stops but also again forced turnovers, this time it was four interceptions including the game sealer by Max Williams with just seconds left on the clock. Remarkedly the Trojans defense have forced a turnover on 33% of opponents drives this season (14 overall turnovers). Offensively everyone is wondering (including us) why quarterback Caleb Williams was struggling so much. The offense looked out of sync with plays breaking down faster than expected and when they didn't Williams seemed to rush anyway. The main highlight was Oregon transfer running back Travis Dye who had his 3rd-straight 100-yard performance as a Trojan. The offense does have an excellent shot at getting back on track this weekend with Pac-12 foe Arizona State coming to the Coliseum. If ever the USC offense needed a "get right" game it was this one and the Sun Devils are so bad they will likely accommodate. They also breakdown what they saw and heard from USC's Tuesday morning practice of Arizona State week and give some early assessments of what USC can expect with ASU in town.

Trojans kick off fall camp and hold a night practice in the Coliseum
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back talking about the Trojans kicking off their fall camp practices with a morning workout on campus and a night practice in the Coliseum. The guys go over what they have seen from the two workouts that were partially open to the media, what the coaches and players had to say afterwards plus they have an update on the injury situation, with some key players out including one of the leaders on the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Shane Lee . The guys also talk about the USA Today Coaches Poll that dropped this week and give their thoughts on where USC comes in (No. 15) plus how a few of the Trojans opponents are ranked including Notre Dame, Utah and Pac-12 foe (potential championship game opponent) Oregon. The B1G media deal appears to be coming together so Ryan and Chris talk about what has been reported, including ESPN backing out of negotiations, and what it could mean for the USC football program going forward, including if the Trojans will see fewer night games being part of a Midwestern based conference. Not that Trojan fans want to see a lot of punting, but head coach Lincoln Riley did follow through on his promise of a plan in place to replace punter Atticus Bertrams with the announcement of the addition of another Australian punter, Aiden Sleep-Dalton . Sleep-Dalton had to travel to London for a week just to secure a visa to come to the United States and he is yet to be medically cleared, but it appears Sleep-Dalton will be the Trojans punter going forward.

Coach Harvey Hyde wants to see intense competition at USC Fall Camp
In this episode of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde talk about the Trojans kicking off USC Fall Camp and what they would like to see accomplished by Lincoln Riley and his coaching staff. They start off the show going over the latest news, with the USC athletic department making a new hire. Big 12 executive associate commissioner Ed Stewart, a former All-American and national championship winning linebacker from Nebraska, joins Mike Bohn’s department as Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director for Football Administration. They also acknowledge the enshrinement of Tony Boselli into the NFL Hall of Fame, USC’s 14th NFL Hall of Famer, the most by any program. Boselli was the No. 2 overall pick in 1995 and the first ever pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Turning to fall camp, Coach Hyde talks about this team coming together and becoming an entirely new family. He loves that the squad is having early practices in the Coliseum, giving the players and coaches an opportunity to connect with the great tradition of the program and workout on the field that created so many legends (like Boselli). He wasn’t as fond of some of the early morning practices, but Riley told us this week it was a good opportunity to mix things up for the players and sometimes getting your work done early opens up the rest of the day for other activities. The big question for Hyde is how Riley can change the face of the program so quickly, something that will be difficult to do but needs to be done. He says that on the practice field it won’t just be the coaches evaluating the players, it will be the players evaluating each other. It should ramp up competition for spots on the depth chart and according to the coach, “Everyday is game day because you will be competing for your job.” The guys also talk about the increased depth on the team, allowing Riley to have the best players go against the best players in practice, ramping up the competition in the workouts.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevin o are back putting a bow on Pac-12 Media Day, talking about what head coach Lincoln Riley , quarterback Caleb Williams and linebacker Shane Lee had to say about this Trojan football team heading into the 2022 college football season.

First, some of the practices will be held in the morning, something we haven't seen around the program in about a decade. There will also be more opportunities for the media to watch the first portions of practices and conduct interviews after the workout, similar to what we saw in the spring but certainly very different from what Riley's fall practice policy was at Oklahoma. And before camp starts USC will hold a Media Day on Thursday with a couple dozen players and coaches available during a 4-hour window, something we haven't ever seen since we started covering this team in 1996.

Coach Harvey Hyde gives his take on USC moving to the Big Ten and conference realignment
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the groundbreaking news that USC and UCLA will be moving to the Big Ten in 2024. The Trojans will move on from the Pac-12 after 100 years of membership, starting with the Pacific Coast Conference way back in 1922 all the way through the Pac-8, the Pac-10 and now the Pac-12. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on losing all of those traditions like playing Cal and Stanford every year, road trips to the Pacific Northwest and of course playing in the Rose Bowl against a rival from the Big Ten. He also talks about the upside for the Trojans in making this move and if he feels there could have been anything done to prevent USC from leaving, on the conference side and within the Trojans athletic department. The Rose Bowl is near and dear to the heart of Coach Harvey Hyde and he is on several committees for the Tournament of Roses including the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame committee. While he knows that college football is changing rapidly and the Rose Bowl will never be the same as we have grown to know it, he feels that a lot of the traditions can stay the same as the bowl moves from a Big Ten/Pac-12 matchup to one of the games of the College Football Playoff. Even last year the Rose Bowl still had the highest television rating of any bowl game, even higher than the two CFP semifinal games. Coach feels it can still be a very prestigious post season game, with different participants than what we have usually seen in the "Granddaddy of them all." As far as the travel goes for the USC football team and Olympic sports, Hyde thinks that it would challenging but nothing that couldn't be overcome. He thinks the Big Ten will expand further and could give USC more local teams in its division that could limit some of the travel to the Midwest. The Olympic sports could also structure things for road trips that last longer with accommodations for school being made while being on the trip. In his words, the money was too much to pass up and sometimes you have to give a little bit to get a lot back. Coach Hyde also thinks Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff has been doing a lot to try and keep things together, but it was simply too deep of a hole dug by his predecessor Larry Scott . He talks about some of the possibilities for expansion including adding some familiar Mountain West programs. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts !

1,500th Episode Special - Colin Cowherd on the aftermath of USC and UCLA bolting for the Big Ten
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio to talk more about the huge news that both USC and UCLA will be leaving the Pac-12 conference and joining the Big Ten conference starting in 2024. This week they are joined by Fox Sports media personality and USC superfan Colin Cowherd to talk about this huge move and what it means for the Trojans going forward. It's been five days since the news broke and the entire college football world is still in shock, trying to make sense of this huge power shift and trying to figure out what will be the next domino to fall. Notre Dame appears to be the next Big Ten target and until the Irish make a move it is unlikely that the SEC of B1G will do any more raiding. But that won't stop the Pac-12, Big 12 and ACC from potentially making some moves, anything from raiding each other to merging together to forming a more formal (and written) alliance. There are already reports that Oregon and Washington want to join USC and UCLA in the Big Ten, but do the LA schools want that? The Big 12 is also reportedly having meetings with the Arizona and Mountain schools from the Pac-12 which would essentially be a death blow to the Conference of Champions. New Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff isn't going to sit idly by, but will there be any conference left for him to save? We shall see.

Pac-12 moves quickly to eliminate divisions for championship game purposes
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the breaking news that the Pac-12 will no longer send the two division winners to the conference championship game and will now select the teams with the top-2 winning percentages to play for the title, regardless of which division they play in. That ruling could have a significant impact on Lincoln Riley and the Trojans considering Utah, a division rival with USC, returns most everyone from their Pac-12 championship team in 2022 and the Trojans face the Utes in Salt Lake City this season. Couple that with the North being much more wide open with half of the teams (Oregon, Washington and Washington State) having new head coaches and there is a very probable scenario that has Utah and USC processing the two best records in the Pac-12, allowing them to rematch in Las Vegas with the conference championship on the line.The guys also talk about the new CBS/247Sports poll that ranked the top college football coaches at the Power Five level, with USC's Lincoln Riley coming in at No. 4 behind Nick Saban, Kirby Smart and Dabo Swinney. They talk about the top-10 coaches and Chris tests Ryan to see how many of them he could name (he got 9 out of the 10 right) with Utah's Kyle Whittingham being the only other Pac-12 coach to make the top-10.The USC roster continues to get reworked with a couple more additions from the NCAA Transfer Portal, JUCO offensive lineman Cooper Lovelace and Washington defensive back Jacboe Covington. The guys talk about what those two players bring to the table and where they can fit in on the Trojans roster. They also discuss the biggest name yet to decide where he will transfer, former Pittsburgh wide receiver Jordan Addison. Will Addison head west and finish his college career at USC or head to Texas or Alabama?

Transfer Portal-Palooza Tracker and spring game recap
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to put a bow on USC's spring football game in front of a Coliseum spring game record crowd of over 33,000 that was shown live nationally on ESPN. Head coach Lincoln Riley wanted to showcase all of the work the players and coaches put in over the past five weeks and in our opinion they accomplished that objective. The entire atmosphere around the Coliseum was extremely welcoming with events for all of the fans in attendance and the product on the field was also intriguing, with two live 15-minute halves of football that gave the feeling of an actual game.The new players were finally introduced to Trojan fans (and the media) and everyone came away from the game with a better understanding of who those players are and how this team could potentially look when they kick off against Rice on September 3. Quarterback Caleb Williams came in with a lot of hype and he delivered, throwing a pair of touchdown passes to his former Oklahoma teammate Mario Williams. Former SEC linebackers Shane Lee and Romello Height also made positive impressions with their play on the field and leadership off of it. Former Pac-12 stars like former Oregon running back Travis Dye, former Stanford running back Austin Jones, former Colorado wide receiver Brenden Rice and former Washington receiver Terrell Bynum all looked good wearing Cardinal and Gold, giving the Trojans more weapons and more depth while draining some of the talent from the rest of the conference.The guys also dig into the pending NCAA Transfer Portal deadline of May 1, looking at some of the players Riley could potentially add before fall camp starts and how fast and furious things could get over the coming weeks and months.Ryan and Chris will be doing regular podcasts together going forward, so make sure you send in your questions addressed to them at podcast@uscfootball.com.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!Thanks to Trader Joe's for sponsoring the Peristyle Podcast!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

The Trojans are now done with 10 of their allotted 15 spring practices and Riley wants to focus on the team finishing strong."Losers coast, average programs coast," Riley said.There will be no coasting to the finish for the Trojans as they have one more practice and scrimmage in the Coliseum before the spring game in front of fans on April 23 at noon, shown live in ESPN.Tuesday's Coliseum practice also held live periods where the team scrimmaged. We were unable to watch those portions of practice but afterwards Riley said that it was back-and-forth between the offense and the defense with the offense getting the early jump, the defense finishing strong and overall he said the defense won the day.The guys also talk about a bunch of new names that have been gold-plated, given their Trojan logo helmet sticker for the work they have put in on the practice field and meeting rooms.Former USC quarterback J.T.

Daniels had visited Oregon State which would have given him the opportunity to play against the Trojans in 2022, but with his commitment to WVU he will now get to play against the player that replaced him in 2019 following his knee injury, new Pitt quarterback Kedon Slovis. Such is the soap opera that is college football.With the loss of five-star OT Josh Conerly to Oregon, USC will now have to look to the NCAA Transfer Portal to shore up the offensive line after spring ball. On Wednesday another potential option entered the portal, Texas A&M lineman Derick Hunter who played for USC offensive line coach Josh Henson.Ryan and Chris will be doing regular podcasts together going forward, so make sure you send in your questions addressed to them at podcast@uscfootball.com.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!Thanks to Trader Joe's for sponsoring the Peristyle Podcast!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Coach Harvey Hyde on USC's more physical spring and the gold-plated incentive for players
Coach Harvey Hyde returns with Ryan Abraham to breakdown where the Trojans are after three weeks of spring football practices under head coach Lincoln Riley. Coach Hyde likes what he has seen so far, especially the fact that the practices are much more physical and the overall mentality of the team is different. USC is now more than halfway through the spring with just 5 practices left before the spring game on April 23, something Coach Hyde is really looking forward to seeing.The guys also get into a little recruiting talking about the disappointing decision of five-star offensive tackle Josh Conerly picking the Ducks over the Trojans followed by some good news with a four-star linebacker commit from the class of 2024, Long Beach Poly (Calif.) linebacker Dylan Williams, committing to the Trojans.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Trojans scrimmage for the first time this spring
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the Trojans first scrimmage period of spring football, getting the lowdown from the offensive players and coaches after Tuesday's workout. The guys talk about how the offense came out stagnant early in the scrimmage before coming together and turning things around. Quarterback Caleb Williams broke off a long run and tight end Malcolm Epps caught a touchdown in the redzone.Speaking of Williams, he talked to the media on Tuesday and said that he was going to try and focus on taking off and running less, with an emphasis on staying in the pocket and finding the open man. He talked about running too much last season, but also said there were times where he stayed in the pocking waiting for a receiver to break free of the coverage when he should have cut his losses and just ran for whatever yards he could. Williams was also asked about his number, No. 13, that happens to be shared by wide receiver Michael Jackson. Neither player knew what the outcome will be, but we do know at least one of them will have to switch numbers before the season starts because you cannot have two players with the same number on the same side of the ball.The guys also talk about the tight end position after talking to tight ends coach Zach Hanson plus Jude Wolfe and Malcolm Epps following Tuesday's practice. As of now it looks like Epps has been holding down the 'Y' position, playing out wide, while Wolfe has handled the H-back spot (with Epps said he handled that spot like a grown man). We heard from Hanson about how those guys have progressed plus he gives his thoughts on the team coordinating special teams by committee.Quarterback Miller Moss had some interesting things to say about USC's offense this year compared to last year. He said the team currently has been performing well in the red zone as opposed to last year, dropping the nugget that they never really worked on red zone offense before. The guys also talk about the latest players to be "gold-plated" and what receiver Kyle Ford said about the receivers blocking more this spring.Ryan and Chris will be doing regular podcasts together going forward, so make sure you send in your questions addressed to them at podcast@uscfootball.com.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!Thanks to Trader Joe's for sponsoring the Peristyle Podcast!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Rainier Beach offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. Huffman talks about the type of prospect Conerly is, why he decided to put in a Crystal Ball for USC on the offensive lineman and why he won’t equate Conerly to a Shaun Cody or De’Anthony Thomas type of recruit for the Trojans no matter if Conerly chooses USC or another school.

USC spring football - talking offensive line in full pads and new player practice incentives
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the first open to the media full-pads spring football practice for the Trojans. After two practices in helmets and jerseys, the USC football team was in full pads for their Saturday (closed) and Tuesday (partially open) workouts. With offensive players and coaches available on Tuesday, the focus moved away from the skill players and honed in on the big guys up front, the offensive line. Head coach Lincoln Riley went in depth about his thoughts on the offensive line, a group with a lot of experience that still has a way to go to learn the new offensive system brought in by Riley and company. We also discuss what offensive line coach Josh Henson had to say about his unit, including who the current starting five players are, and we hear from several of those starters to get their thoughts on adjusting to a new offense. The guys also dive into some of the other topics from USC spring practice like Riley talking about adding double-digit players to the roster after spring football ends. USC currently has 76 players on scholarship and with more defections probable, it gives Riley more room to add players from the NCAA Transfer Portal. Ryan and Chris were each able to talk to a new assistant coach for the first time this spring, interim inside wide receivers coach Luke Huard and tight ends coach Zach Hanson. They also discuss some of the candid comments made by running back Darwin Barlow, comparing the complexity of last year's offensive system to this year's. Lastly the guys share an interesting tidbit they learned from talking to offensive lineman Courtland Ford, a new practice incentive program for USC football players. According to Ford, if a player performs well at practice he will get a "gold plate" for his helmet. We originally thought he meant some sort of helmet sticker system like other programs use, but apparently it is a type of enhancement to the current USC Trojan logo on the side of the player's helmet. The guys talk about breaking away from tradition here and if implementing a system like this would be a positive or a negative.

Recapping the Trojans first day of spring football plus USC Pro Day
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to break down all of the news and notes from the highly anticipated first day of USC spring football. New head coach Lincoln Riley has been at the helm about 100 days and on Tuesday he got his first opportunity to see his new squad practicing officially on Howard Jones Field. Riley called his roster one of the most unique in college football history with tons of turnover and new additions out of the NCAA Transfer Portal. The guys talk about what Riley had to say about not being finished with his retooling of the roster, with 10 or more players to be added between now and the start of fall camp in August. The guys also talk about the offensive position groups, starting with the quarterbacks and highly touted Oklahoma quarterback transfer Caleb Williams. The media was able to talk to Williams for the very first time in a USC jersey and the true sophomore did not disappoint, holding court in front of a large group of reports. Williams showed off his infectious personality and showed why he was able to come in and establish himself as a leader on this team despite only being on campus for a little over a month. They also talk about the running back room that is down to three scholarship backs at the moment and the wide receivers where several high profile transfers came in, including Mario Williams from Oklahoma. They also talk about the USC Pro Day which featured 15 former Trojan football players including potential first rounder Drake Jackson (who looked much bigger than he did just a few months ago). There was still no Drake London due to his injury, but he plans on doing his own workout on campus in early April.

USC spring football schedule revealed plus running back Brandon Campbell hits the transfer portal
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the details of the newly released USC spring football practice schedule that includes more media availability than they thought, but certainly less access than they have seen in year's past. The media will be able to watch the first 20 minutes of 10 of the 15 spring practices and then after the workout some players and coaches will be available to interview. On the closed Saturday practices head coach Lincoln Riley will talk to the media via Zoom, answering questions about how practice went. USC spring practices start on March 22 and run through the ESPN live televised spring game on Saturday, April 23. Fans will be permitted to attend the spring game in the Coliseum, but they will not be allowed to view any of the other practices this spring. The Trojans will also hold a closed Pro Day on Wednesday, March 23. The guys also talk about the latest Trojan football player to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, redshirt freshman running back Brandon Campbell. With the departure of Campbell USC will only have three scholarship running backs available this spring, all of which are transfers from other programs. Campbell came in with a group of Texas players and coaches, many of whom are no longer with the program. We felt he may stick it out and see where he stands after five weeks of spring football practices, but he decided to pull the trigger early, enter the portal and try to find a new home to continue his college career.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back again breaking down USC's roster position by position and projecting what the football depth chart will look like heading into spring football 2022. There are several new faces from high school and the NCAA Transfer Portal that will be making a splash for the Trojans and in many cases replacing players that moved on to the NFL or transferred out of the program. Ryan and Chris go up and down the roster giving their thoughts on which players will start and compete for playing time in Lincoln Riley's first year as head coach. The guys also discuss the breaking news that Trojan quarterback Mo Hasan, after fully recovering from knee surgery, injured his Achilles and will not be able to compete during spring practice. The unfortunate injury to Hasan likely means more surgery and rehab for the transfer from Vanderbilt and leaves the Trojans with just two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster at the moment. They also discuss the huge recruiting weekend for the Trojans with high profile prospects from all over the country coming to Los Angeles for Junior Day and the USC basketball team getting beat by Arizona (with Riley and quarterback Caleb Williams in attendance).

The Heard it on the Sidelines podcast with Shotgun Spratling returns with a special guest coming off a career performance in what he describes as the best basketball atmosphere he’s ever played in. In this episode of the Heard It on the Sidelines podcast, a part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, we head to the hardwood to talk about USC basketball’s big 67-64 rivalry win over UCLA Saturday night that helped the Trojans improve to 21-4 (10-4) and move into second place in the Pac-12 standings. The star of that victory, fifth-year junior guard Drew Peterson, joins us to talk about what will be forever known in USC lore as the Drew Peterson Game. We talk with the Pac-12 Player of the Week about his career-high 27-point, 12-rebound, five-block, four-assist performance and the reaction he’s received around campus since the game. Peterson also discusses how he turned around a slump to catch fire when his team needed him the most and what it’s going to take for the Trojans to play with the same fire the rest of the season as they did against the Bruins.

Coach Harvey Hyde shares his thoughts on the ongoing Caleb Williams saga
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham are back talking about the biggest story in college football right now, what is happening with former Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams. The reported deadline to register for classes in the spring semester passed on Friday and as of our recording time on Monday there has still been no word on whether Williams has enrolled at USC or not. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on why he thinks Williams will (eventually) end up a Trojan and why it makes sense for him and the team for Williams to wear the Cardinal and Gold.

Peristyle Podcast: The latest on USC's transfers and Caleb Williams
Peristyle Podcast hosts Keely Eure and Ryan Abraham are back in studio together for the very last time, at least the last time with Keely as a member of the USCFootball.com team. Next week Keely will be taking on her new role as a team reporter for USC football and basketball and we wish her the very best! But in the meantime we have her on the show one last time trying to make sense of all of the Caleb Williams drama that is getting crazier by the hour. The former Oklahoma quarterback has about 48 hours from the time of our recording to enroll at USC and take part in spring football, after that he would have to wait until the summer to enroll (or potentially enroll somewhere else that has a later enrollment cutoff date). Will Williams pick the Trojans or end up at another program? We shall see (and hopefully soon). Keely and Ryan also discuss all of the roster turnover we have seen since the end of last season, with 31 players no longer on the team and 20 new additions including 11 players from the NCAA Transfer Portal. Many of the holes on the roster have been addressed, but that quarterback spot is the one that as of this recording is still in need of an answer. Plus as always they answer all of the listener questions over email, voicemail and text messages. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!

Coach Harvey Hyde on Lincoln Riley quickly making USC football nationally relevant again
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham are back at it talking about what has been a crazy USC off-season that has seen the Trojans crawling their way back to becoming nationally relevant again without even playing a game. With the NCAA Transfer Portal action coming fast and furious and players no longer needing to sit out a year when they change schools, new head coach Lincoln Riley is putting college football free agency to work and completely rebuilding the USC football roster. By acquiring talented and productive players from conference rivals and other top programs from across the country, Riley is keeping the Trojan football brand in the news and putting the team in a position to win faster than anyone likely imagined.

Tunnel Vision: Making sense of the Trojans football Transferpalooza
Tunnel Vision hosts Keely Eure and Ryan Abraham are back in studio with Shotgun Spratling joining remotely for our first Tunnel Vision episode of the New Year. The last time we had a show the USC football roster looked significantly different than it does today, with 31 players gone and 18 new players added to the squad since the end of the 2021 football season. Head coach Lincoln Riley said they could see 35 players or more turnover on the roster and as we approach the traditional signing day, USC is already close to that number. The team will talk about the players that have left and some of the reasons why they have moved on, the players that were brought in and what sort of impact they can have on the program and what players are still out there that Riley could add in the coming weeks and months. This will also unfortunately be our final Tunnel Vision show with Keely Eure! She has taken a job with the USC athletic department as the director of creative content and team reporter. We will miss Keely for sure, so let's all give her a great sendoff! This is a podcast version of our video show Tunnel Vision that you can find on our Facebook or YouTube pages.

Emergency Peristyle Podcast - USC quarterback Jaxson Dart has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal
Peristyle Podcast hosts Keely Eure and Ryan Abraham are returned to the studio to discuss the breaking news that true freshman quarterback Jaxson Dart has decided to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal and explore his options with other teams.

Rumors are rampant that Williams would follow his former head coach Lincoln Riley to USC, so Keely and Ryan give their thoughts on the Williams rumors and Dart entering the portal. They also talk about former Oklahoma wide receiver Mario Williams and the chances he follows Riley to USC and the Tweet from freshman tight end Michael Trigg stating that he has entered the NCAA Transfer Porta as well (although he isn't currently listed in the portal). They end the show going over the newly announced assistant coaching staff for Riley, with 9 new names plus former USC interim head coach Donte Williams making up the staff.

As USC limps towards the finish line, the 2021 football season can't end soon enough
Peristyle Podcast hosts Keely Eure and Ryan Abraham are back in studio reluctantly discussing what was yet another historic loss in the Coliseum, this time falling 62-33 to crosstown rival UCLA. It was the most points scored by the Bruins in the rivalry and by the end of the game, it just didn't seem like the Trojans even wanted to be on the field. Unfortunately for them, there are still two games left against an opponent that is a better version than UCLA (BYU) and an opponent that started off the season poorly, but is now playing really good football (Cal). USC technically still has bowl eligibility to play for, but that would mean pulling the upset two weeks in a row. Keely and Ryan talk about the Trojans playing out the string as them limp towards the finish line and await the announcement of the next head coach. Speaking of that announcement, they also talk about some of the top candidates on the board and how the timing of the announcement could work going forward.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham are back trying to make sense of yet another absolute beatdown in the not-so-friendly confines of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, with UCLA putting up 62 points on the Trojans, the most ever by the Bruins in the rivalry.

The guys also talk about what USC fans can expect from the remaining two games, both of which the Trojans need to win in order to become bowl eligible. Speaking of bowl eligible, should that even be a goal at this point for USC, or do they need to simply let this season come to an end and move on to whoever the next head coach will be?

Tunnel Vision: Trojans struggle in Tempe on both sides of the ball
Tunnel Vision crew of Keely Eure, Shotgun Spratling and Ryan Abraham are back from Tempe discussing the Trojans 31-16 loss to Arizona State, dropping USC's record to 4-5 and putting bowl eligibility chances in serious jeopardy. The crew saw first hand how the Trojans struggled to put drives together and tackle ASU running backs, allowing Herm Edwards' ASU squad to right the ship after a couple of terrible outings. Besides breaking down the game, they also go into what they think of the two quarterback experiment, with interim head coach Donte Williams rotating both Kedon Slovis and Jaxson Dart into the game at different times. Could that be the issue or is it more about the lack of a big play maker in Drake London as USC has only scored one touchdown in the 18 drives since London was injured.

Coach Harvey Hyde gives thoughts on USC's struggling defense and utilizing a two quarterback system
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast Coach Harvey Hyde and Ryan Abraham give their thoughts on the Trojans 41-34 win over Arizona in the Coliseum. A win is a win, but how good should USC feel beating a team on a 20-game losing streak by a touchdown at home?

The junior wideout was proving to be the best player in the country at his position, and one of the only reasons to watch this Trojan football team at times. They also discuss the struggling USC defense that continues to allow opposing offenses to have their best outputs in the Coliseum and how the Trojans incorporated a two quarterback system with Kedon Slovis and Jaxson Dart.

Tunnel Vision: Trojans mistakes prove costly in 31-16 loss to the Fighting Irish
The Tunnel Vision crew of Keely Eure, Shotgun Spratling and Ryan Abraham have returned from South Bend and are back in studio ready to talk about everything they saw at Notre Dame Stadium during USC's 31-16 loss to the Fighting Irish. There was no shortage of mistakes from the Trojans who gained more yards than the Irish but fell far short on the scoreboard. The team also talks about how interim head coach Donte Williams said after the game that he didn't feel the team lost, they simply ran out of time. Was that really the case? The Trojans didn't score a touchdown until the 4th quarter so it took a while to find the end zone, but the Irish also had a 15-point lead and was knocking on the door to score again before taking a knee to end the game.

Emergency Podcast - College football realignment and what it means for the USC Trojans
In this emergency edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham goes solo on the eve of Pac-12 Media Day to talk about the news that shook the entire college football landscape, Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 and potentially joining forces with the SEC. Whatever happens with the Longhorns and the Sooners, college football will never be the same, with big brands utilizing their power to make deals that would help their programs as opposed to helping their conference. So what does that mean for USC? We will likely find out some of new Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff's plan on Tuesday, but USC athletic director Mike Bohn has to be happy knowing that the Trojan brand is powerful enough to make strong move similar to Texas and Oklahoma if the Pac-12 doesn't appear to be able to right the ship. For Bohn, every option should be on the table from going independent to joining another conference. And if USC does stay in the Pac-12 he can fight for a bigger piece of the revenue pie, helping his athletic department in the process. For now USC fans just need to hang on and enjoy the ride, because change is coming and the Trojans are in good position to improve their stock in this approaching new era of college football.

Family Feud: Can USC pull off an upset against Oregon?
Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return to the USCfootball.com studio with a new episode of the Family Feud Podcast to assess the Trojans come-from-behind victory and discuss what to make of USC's first road win in nearly a year. This week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment starts with the end and what proved to be the game-winner, Pittman, who continues to have a monster senior season both making an impact at receiver and on various special teams units. He's not the only wide receiver to make the list as the Trojans threw for more than 400 yards against the Buffaloes, breaking out a new formational look using five wide receivers to spread the Colorado defense out. Middle-of-the-field defenders John Houston Jr. and Briton Allen also are seeing their stock on the rise while Allen's rise sees Isaiah Pola-Mao on the flip side. One of Pola-Mao's issues, tackling, also makes another appearance on Stock Down, as does USC's offensive inconsistency and the full comprehension of the Trojans' defenders. In 'Heard It On The Sidelines,' the feudsters take you behind the scenes and let you know about what they could see and hear from their sideline vantage point during the game, including Clay Helton furiously working the referees after a bad call and the positive results it netted, the impact of the altitude and a number of players trying to work their way back from injuries as well as two freshmen sharing a moment together. Keely talks about the unique challenges of Folsom Field as an on-field reporter and how the Trojan fans in attendance bolstered a tired and thin team in the fourth quarter. Plus, Shotgun and Keely discuss their travel adventures getting to and from Boulder with an Orange County-native's unbridled joy at the sight of snow. This episode of the Family Feud Podcast concludes with the questions that you emailed (familyfeudpod@gmail.com) and tweeted to us. What's one big element that's different from last year? Did a player single-handedly save his coach? Are USC's blitzing techniques different? And lastly, when the Family Feud duo is asked a final question about tackling, they bring on special guest Taylor Mays for a quick appearance to discuss the differences from his days with Pete Carroll to now.

Family Feud: USC hopes to bounce back against Arizona
USC went to Notre Dame and fought like a top-tier team. The Trojans played clean football and battled against a top 10 team. But ultimately, the Trojans couldn't get off the field on a 13-play, nearly-seven-minute Notre Dame drive to give their offense an opportunity to go win the game. USC had controlled the Irish offense in the first quarter and for much of the second half, but when it came to producing a stop in the fourth quarter, a banged up Trojans defense couldn't get a crucial incompletion or tackle short of the sticks in what finished as a 30-27 road loss Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return to the USCfootball.com studio with a new episode of the Family Feud Podcast to assess how the Trojans outperformed the Vegas odds, but fell short against their intersectional rival.
