In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back to discuss the massive win over Michigan on Saturday night in the Coliseum and how the Trojans are looking to keep the momentum going in South Bend against Notre Dame. After being labeled as "soft" following the loss at Illinois, head coach Lincoln Riley used the bye week well, circling the wagons and getting his guys ready for a tough test against the Wolverines. By the end of the evening USC was unquestionable the tougher team, winning the battles at the line of scrimmage and resetting the expectations for the remainder of the season. The guys discuss what they liked from the Trojans victory over Michigan and how they were able to bounce back after that disappointing loss in Champaign. They also give an update on the dire injury situation with the top two running backs Waymond Jordan and Eli Sanders out and an offensive line that has been using a different lineup every week. There were also some national recognition for safety Bishop Fitzgerald following his two interception performance and walk-on running back King Miller who carried the load with 158 yards and a touchdown against Michigan. Miller has been special and he will likely get the first start of his career at Notre Dame. Ryan and Connor were both impressed with what USC was able to do Saturday night in the Coliseum against Michigan and both are looking for a similar effort in South Bend against the Fighting Irish. It is one thing to put it together at home, but it would mean a lot more if the Trojans could play well on the road against a ranked opponent.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the podcast medium to break down USC's massive win over then No. 15 Michigan at home in the Coliseum, giving Lincoln Riley his first signature win in the Big Ten era. Shotgun spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' talking about the impressive performance by USC's offensive line, which continues to play well even without two season opening starters. Chris uses his time to talk about the electric atmosphere in the Coliseum and praise Trojan fans for their impact on the game. They then dive into Stock Up, Stock Down, which include the defensive front, Lincoln Riley, kicker Ryon Sayeri and more. The duo also discusses injuries to the running back room and the play of walk-on running back King Miller, who finished with 158 yards and a touchdown, and the dramatic second-half appearance from Bryan Jackson. USC's top running backs Waymond Jordan Jr. and Eli Sanders were both carted off the field in the first half with injuries, leaving USC with zero healthy scholarship tailbacks. Sanders will miss the rest of the season while Jordan Jr. will be out four-to-six weeks with ankle surgery. The Helium Boys dive into the second half of the show to preview USC's big road rivalry matchup with No. 13 Notre Dame. This could be the final game in the rivalry for the near future as the two teams do not have a deal to play in place beyond 2025. USC sent an amended offer late this summer toward a multi-year extension, which is more in line what the Fighting Irish wanted, but there has been no acceptance.

Notre Dame travels to Arkansas to face the Razorbacks in an ABC-televised game kicking off at 11 Central in Week 5 of the 2025 college football season. Jay Greeson and Chris Lee preview the game, with topics including: Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green is a one-man wrecking crew who can win games with outstanding performances. But the Razorbacks have to stop shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers and untimely penalties. Notre Dame was torched by Texas A&M's Marcel Reed in the passing game two weeks ago, providing some hopes for an Arkansas upset. The Razorbacks were also awful against the run vs. Memphis, and now face one of the country's top running backs in Jeremiyah Love. Statistically, Arkansas's defense is better than Notre Dame's in some categories, but the Fighting Irish's schedule has included Miami and Texas A&M. With coach Sam Pittman on the hot set, is a home game here the best or worst thing that could happen to Arkansas? And how much are the Razorbacks bought into playing for Pittman? Finally, the Irish have to win this one to stand any chance to make the Playoff. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Week 3 is upon us! After only two weeks, the college football season has not disappointed as it's delivered on entertaining games and big surprises. There is no reason to believe Week 3 will be any different as it is headlined by a huge game in South Bend. 16th-ranked Texas A&M visits 8th-ranked Notre Dame. After a close loss to Miami to start the season and a bye in Week 2, the Fighting Irish have a lot to prove to backup the preseason hype. With no ranked teams currently remaining on their schedule, would a loss to the Aggies all but eliminate them from the CFP conversation? Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey debate this topic as they preview the game. Plus, there was a lot of drama during the week about AP voting. The guys share their thoughts on the situation and talk about times they messed up when they had an AP vote. They also share whether or not the AP should change their voting system. Should we have a year-round poll, even in the offseason?Later, Ross shares his Congressional Minute that is much more than a minute. The future of college football is being discussed in Washington D.C. today with the SCORE Act (Student Compensation and Opportunity through Rights and Endorsements Act) and the Sports Broadcasting Act being the two cornerstones of the conversation. Both of these acts may drastically change the future of the sport and college athletics in general. Ross breaks down the details of each of these acts and the impact they could have. The guys then discuss these monumental decisions and what they think the end result will be.Finally, Andy, Ross and Steven make their picks for this week's I've Got A Feeling with Georgia, Texas A&M and Washington State getting the nod from the crew.

Topics include: Updates on the health of Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed and left tackle Trey Zuhn, both of whom were hurt in Saturday's Utah State win. Notre Dame lost a close game to Miami in Week 1 before a bye week. The Fighting Irish didn't use Jeremiyah Love as much as expected, and receiver Jaden Greenhouse didn't have a catch. The Fighting Irish had a new quarterback in CJ Carr, whose two interceptions were the difference in the opener. The Aggies have some explosive offensive weapons in LeVeon Moss, KC Concepcion and Mario Craver. A&M has struggled to stop the run the last two seasons.

Legendary Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn is forced to face the music following the Hurricanes victory over his Fighting Irish on Sunday.
Bill Belichick has officially debuted in college football! The legendary NFL head coach is lauded as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, NFL head coaches of all-time. The entire off-season, all of the drama and the pomp and circumstance led up to Monday night. The stars came out, the stadium was packed and the North Carolina Tar Heels drove right down the field and scored on their first drive of the game. It all went down hill not too long after that, culminating in a deflating 48-14 loss to TCU. The Belichick Era did not get off to the start he, and many others, had hoped for. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss what went wrong, what surprised them about North Carolina and TCU, what they think TCU can accomplish this season and if they think North Carolina can turn it around this year.
