The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with Shotgun Spratling and new co-host India Otto breaking down the latest news and recent struggles of ⁠USC⁠ men's and women's basketball. The Women of Troy finished the regular season dropping their final three games after their worst loss of the season, giving up a career-high 40 points to Kiyomi McMiller and falling on the road at Penn State before losing at home against No. 2 UCLA after giving up 22 offensive rebounds. On the men's side, things have been even worse as the Trojans dropped their fourth and fifth consecutive games the last week, including losing by 19 points to UCLA and then giving up 51 second-half points to let No. 12 Nebraska rally from a halftime deficit and roll to an easy victory. But the bigger news came the day after the Huskers handed USC's men their fifth straight loss when the athletic department released a statement that active leading scorer Chad Baker-Mazara was no longer a member of the program. The USC Triple-Double looks at all the latest in the Triple-Double segment before taking a look at where the USC men's and women's teams stand at this point in the season, seeing where they stack up in the standings and what is the latest bracketology involving the Trojans. Finally the podcasting duo moves into ta preview of the week ahead where both programs try to right the ship as the USC men try to turn around their fortunes and move back up the bubble pecking order while the Women of Troy head to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Tournament. Both teams will face Washington first and then if USC's women win their opening conference tournament matchup, both teams will face off against UCLA.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the microphones with a little twist to their typical format as they take on previews for USC's upcoming 2026 spring camp, which begins on Tuesday. Part 2 takes on the defense.  The boys of Helium skip on the pleasantries and jump straight into the spring preview of the defensive side in the following order: specialists, defensive tackles, defensive ends, linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties.  USC's defense is full of questions as Hall of Fame head coach Gary Patterson takes over the coordinator duties. Though he uses a similar 4-2-5 defense to what the Trojans frequently used under former defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, what personnel will Patterson prefer and utilize in each of those 11 defensive positions. That's one of the things that makes this spring so intriguing as we yearn to decipher exactly what Patterson and his defensive coaching staff may be looking for from each position. The spring defense also presents some interesting opportunities for some of the youngsters, including the freshman from the No. 1-ranked recruiting class, because of some injuries that will keep some expected starters from being full participants. Who will step up amongst the young players? And who will show the biggest improvements from the returners?

Shotgun Spratling and Kasey Kazliner return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down another unblemished weekend for USC baseball as they improve to 11-0 on the season after recording their first four-game series sweep since 1978! They also talk with junior second baseman and leadoff hitter Abbrie Covarrubias about his and the team's hot start to the season. The Trojans' starting pitching was again electric as Mason Edwards, Grant Govel and Andrew Johnson all three were spectacular and Chase Herrell joined the mix with five scoreless innings on Thursday. The Trojans nearly had their second no-hitter of the season as Edwards and Sax Matson combined to throw TEN hitless innings Friday, but the game remained scoreless until the top of the 11th inning when USC broke the game open with six runs. That left the only question being whether the Trojans could get the final three outs before Cal Poly could get its first hit. They fell one pitch shy. Freshman Diego Velazquez got the first out but a grounder up the middle bounced off second base and out of the grasp of a sliding Covarrubias for an infield single. On the next pitch, Velazquez got a ground ball for a 5-4-3 double play to end the game. After being bottled up Friday, USC's bats responded in a big way, pounding out 21 hits and scoring 16 runs -- both season highs -- while Govel again was outstanding on the mound despite giving up his first earned run of the season on a solo homer late in his seven-inning start. The Sunday matchup appeared to be going similarly to the dominant performances USC had shown the rest of the weekend until the ninth inning. After Johnson had been lights out, allowing one run on four hits in 6.2 innings, the Trojans held a 6-1 lead going into the ninth inning. That's when the Mustangs finally showed some life, scoring five runs with the help of a two-out error to tie the game and send it into extra innings for the second time in the series. The 10th inning remained scoreless, but USC burst through with a pair of runs in the 11th and freshman Gavin Lauridsen closed it out for the 8-6 win to complete the sweetp. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming matchups against UC Irvine and the start of Big Ten play against Illinois.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the microphones with a little twist to their typical format as they take on previews for USC's upcoming 2026 spring camp, which begins on Tuesday. Part 1 takes on the offense.  That doesn't stop them doing their traditional opening the Two-Minute Drill. Chris uses his Two-Minute Drill to fire back at some of the NFL Twitter criticisms of USC wide receiver Makai Lemon during his media interviews. Shotgun uses his TMD to shine some light on No. 25 USC Baseball, which improved to 11-0 on the season with an 8-6 win over Cal Poly.  The boys of Helium then jump into the spring preview in the following order: quarterbacks, running back, tight ends, wide receivers, offensive line and kickers.  USC has potentially another high-powered offense coming back with starting QB Jayden Maiava, five returning starters on the offensive line and two of the best Big Ten running backs in King Miller and Waymond Jordan. The offense will be looking to replace its top two wide receivers and tight ends, including Biletnikoff Award winner Lemon.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Shotgun Spratling and Kasey Kazliner return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down USC baseball's 7-0 start to the season following a 10-run rule midweek win over Loyola Marymount and a sweep of Rice. The Trojans' weekend starting pitching was again electric as Mason Edwards, Grant Govel and Andrew Johnson all three won their starts to help USC get off to its best start since 2015. The Trojans' weekend starters did collectively give up their first run of the season but only combined to give up one while striking out 28 over 17 innings. USC's bats didn't have the same proficiency as they tallied only 13 runs on 18 hits over the three-game series, but they did enough to put the Trojans in position to stay unbeaten this season. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming matchups after they talk with USC assistant coach Sergio Brown, who talks about moving back into an on-field instruction role after being the director of player development the last three years for the Trojans. Brown also discusses the success of USC's pitchers, the Trojans' freshman class that is already providing key contributions and the impact getting Kevin Takeuchi back in the lineup has had after he missed much of last season with injury.

On the offensive side the coaches were all familiar faces from running backs coach Anthony Jones to tight ends and inside receivers coach Chad Savage. The crew digs into some of the top storylines from all of the interviews, including player injury updates, hints into the depth chart, philosophies on the defensive side of the ball and what the goals are for the 15 spring football practices. Speaking of spring ball, we now know the Trojans will kick off their workouts on March 3, going four days a week with a pause in the middle of March for spring break. With practice just around the corner, our hosts discuss what they are looking to see when the guys hit Howard Jones Field next week.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing the major shakeup on the defensive side of the ball for the Trojans, with Gary Patterson coming in as the new defensive coordinator, Paul Gonzales from Baylor to come in and help coach the secondary and former TCU safety Sam Carter from Louisiana Tech for a role on the staff as well. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on what we learned from Patterson's introductory press conference, including his issue with Lincoln Riley not staying up on stage after introducing Patterson to the media. He also gives his thoughts on USC's 2026 schedule, with only 11 games as of now after Notre Dame came off the schedule.

USC's recruiting coordinator also chats about what the Trojans added this offseason with the signing of a top 20 high school recruiting class and bringing in a couple of impact transfers on the offensive side. Jewett discusses the hitters he's excited about and the impact of the return of Kevin Takeuchi after a season-ending shoulder injury last year. Among other players that are brought up, Jewett talks about the impact TCU transfer Isaac Cadena could have, how Adrian Lopez continues to get better and the excitement around freshman Diego Velazquez after he chose to stick with his commitment to USC over potentially going in the MLB Draft. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey then talk all things hitting with the position players taking center stage.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") return to discuss what appears to be the end of USC's search for a defensive coordinator with former TCU head coach Gary Patterson being the only name we have been hearing for the past week. This is an extremely important hire for head coach Lincoln Riley and the guys talk about the latest they are hearing about the search, how likely it is that Patterson gets hired and when it could be announced. The guys also discuss the breaking news that secondary coach Doug Belk will not being a part of this defensive staff going forward. His name came up as a potential candidate during the search, but as it became more likely that Patterson was the direction USC was going it seemed less and less likely that Belk would be sticking around. They finish up talking about the closing of the NCAA Transfer Portal, Mike Ekeler officially joining the staff as special teams coordinator plus what Indiana winning the national championship means for college football, the Big Ten and USC. ⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") return to talk about the USC football team finishing off its 2026 Transfer Portal class with the addition of former Wisconsin tight end Tucker Ashcraft. The 6-foot-5, 257 pound tight end signed with USC Wednesday after playing 16 games for Wisconsin over the last two seasons with six starts. He has 22 career catches for 178 yards and two touchdowns. The portal window closes on Friday and there are no more additions expected by the Trojans for this cycle following the massive No. 1 ranked high school recruiting class that was brought in back in December. The guys also give their thoughts on the ongoing search for the next USC defensive coordinator, with the name of former TCU head coach Gary Patterson coming up in more conversations as of late. Head coach Lincoln Riley wasn't in a hurry to make the hire, and with only one day left for players to enter the portal it is looking more and more likely that the hire will come after that portal window closes. They finish up discussing what Ryan saw in Hawaii at the early Polynesian Bowl practices that unfortunately did not include the five Trojans signees that had accepted invitations to the game. Those players will show off their skills for the Poly Bowl game on Friday, but as new college students they just stuck around USC a little longer before making their way to Hawaii. ⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing a variety of topics concerning the USC football program, starting with an extremely disappointing loss to TCU in the Alamo Bowl. The Trojans fell 30-27 in overtime, blowing a 10-point fourth quarter lead and an opportunity to finish the 2025 college football season with double-digit wins. Coach gives his thoughts on the performance, all of the players that decided to opt-out of the game and what that means for the program going forward plus defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn not calling plays at the very last minute. The guys also talk about Lincoln Riley's search to replace Lynn and potentially other defensive coaches on the staff. With the NCAA Transfer Portal window open, it would be behoove Riley to have the leader of his defense in place to try and keep players on the roster and add guys from other teams. Speaking of the portal, they also discuss some of the players that have entered and a couple of the new commits that have announced they are transferring to USC.

USC blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead to fall, 30-27, to TCU Tuesday night in the Alamo Bowl, and the USCFootball.com team was there to cover all of the action. In the latest edition of Instant Analysis, Connor Morrissette and Shotgun Spratling give their thoughts on the USC loss and what it means for the future of the program. USC gave up a 35-yard touchdown on a third-and-20 play in overtime to lose. The Trojans were severely undermanned, but still had multiple chances to win before collapsing.  Jayden Maiava completed 18-of-30 passes for 280 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. King Miller rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown, and Tanook Hines caught six passes for 163 yards. Both USC's offense and defense had chances to land knockout blows and couldn't.  Ryon Sayeri made a 22-yard field goal on USC's first offensive possession of overtime, which put the Trojans ahead 30-27. But then USC's defense couldn't get a stop after pinning back TCU to a third-and-20 play. Horned Frog quarterback Kenny Seals threw a screen pass to Jeremy Payne, and Payne broke multiple tackles along the left sideline en route to scoring the game-winning touchdown. Seals earned Player of the Game honors after throwing for 258 yards, one touchdown and one interception.  The loss drops USC to 9-4 on the season and kickstarts an offseason where the Trojans will need to find a new defensive coordinator after D'Anton Lynn left to take the same position at Penn State.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that features Shotgun railing on both Notre Dame and USC for not being able to come to a resolution that would have resulted in the continuation of their 100-year old rivalry that has previously taken a global war or global pandemic to keep it from being played. The podcasters then dive into the bevy of comments left on Spotify, answering questions and then ultimately having the randomizer select a winner for a Trader Joes gift card. They then jump into a number of news items since the last Helium Boys episode, including the possibility of USC having to look for a new defensive coordinator soon. They also look at the continuously evolving 2026 roster, discussing the latest transfer portal losses, NFL departures, re-signings announced by USC and the last group of players that have not had their future endeavors revealed After a break, the podcasters dive into a preview of the Alamo Bowl matchup against the Christian Horned Frogs of Texas, including the key storylines, players and matchups before predicting why the Trojans will win and why they will lose.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") are coming together for a special Christmas Eve edition of the Peristyle Podcast, talking about historic rivalry between USC and Notre Dame being paused. After the news broke on Monday that the Trojans and the Fighting Irish wouldn't be playing for the foreseeable future, the reactions came in from all across the college football landscape. Ryan and Connor give their thoughts on why this series is taking a hiatus, how the blame for the pause should be distributed and if they feel these programs will ever meet on the gridiron again. Reaction from the Trojan family has been mixed, with strong opinions on both sides. We have heard from former players and long-time fans that hate that the series isn't going to continue. We also heard from other fans and major media personalities that feel it is in USC's best interest to drop the game and focus on the Big Ten schedule and making the College Football Playoffs. The guys also preview the Alamo Bowl game between USC and TCU, from what the Trojans roster could look like and who they will be facing off against in San Antonio. There have also been a few new names that declared they will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal and plenty of Trojan players that have resigned with the team. ⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing the breaking news that USC and Notre Dame will not play for the foreseeable future, ending one of the greatest rivalries in the history of college football. Coach is not happy that this game won't be played next season and he feels that all of the USC football legends that made their name by playing against the Fighting Irish over the years feel the same way. The guys also talk about some of the players that will not be available to play for the Trojans against TCU in the Alamo Bowl, including wide receivers Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane, linebacker Eric Gentry, tight end Lake McRee and safety Kamari Ramsey. They also discuss defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn potentially leaving USC for Penn State and what Coach Hyde wants to see head coach Lincoln Riley do about that.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the microphones for a news-heavy episode to discuss all the latest updates from USC football from transfers, NFL declarations to players returning.  Chris opens up the 'Two-Minute Drill' that's actually a statement for the feedback he received from his Two-Minute Drill from last week. Shotgun uses his tine to discuss junior wide receiver Makai Lemon taking home the Biletnikoff Award over the weekend. Lemon caught 79 passes for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games. Lemon also rushed for two touchdowns, and he threw a touchdown pass. Lemon's 90.4 overall offensive grade from Pro Football Focus led all FBS wide receivers this season, and his 1,156 receiving yards were the most among Power Four wideouts. Lemon's 20 forced missed tackles tied for sixth among all wide receivers nationally, and he caught 10 of his 15 contested targets.  The Helium Boys then dive into the second half of the show to discuss USC's new front office venture of announcing re-signed players for the program and Lincoln Riley's announcement for players that will not play in the Alamo Bowl at the end of the month.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
