In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio breaking down USC's 34-24 loss at Notre Dame, where the Fighting Irish pushed the Trojans around to the tune of 306 rushing yards. It was not an unexpected loss, but certainly disappointing following the positive showing against Michigan the week before. After that win, head coach Lincoln Riley said USC had a tough, physical football team, but just a week later in South Bend it looked like the Trojans reverted to the team from last year that just couldn't put anything together on the road. The crew gives their thoughts on what USC needs to do during the bye week to get things right and prepare for another long road trip to Nebraska. They discuss what Riley said after Tuesday's practice, what the players revealed in their media availability and what they think this loss means for the rest of the season.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the Trojans failing to build off of their victory over Michigan, falling to Notre Dame 34-23 in South Bend. The Fighting Irish absolutely pushed USC around on the lines of scrimmage, rushing for over 300 yards and holding the Trojans to just 68 yards on the ground. In two of the last three games the Trojans lacked the necessary toughness to play Big Ten big boy football, with both failing performances occurring on the road. Coach Hyde talks how this Trojan football team regressed, bouncing back after that disappointing loss at Illinois with a tough, gritty victory over Michigan, only to revert to the finesse team once again Saturday night in South Bend. He goes into what he liked about how USC performed and what the biggest issues were that led to yet another road defeat. Coach Harvey Hyde has been part of the Peristyle Podcast since 2008 and in the USC football world he is an expert on X's and O's, personnel, coaching philosophies and recruiting.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") intern Riley Sager are back in studio recapping the latest disappointing road game effort for the Trojans, getting pushed around on the line of scrimmage by the Fighting Irish in a 34-24 loss. Notre Dame ran for a ridiculous 306 including a record-setting 228 yards by ND tailback Jeremiyah Love, the most by a Fighting Irish player in the history of this series and the most ever by an ND player in Notre Dame Stadium. USC simply couldn't run the ball, gaining just 68 yards on the ground at a 2.3 yards per carry clip, and turned the ball over three times in the second half, dooming any chances of a comeback against the rival Irish. The crew gives their thoughts on some of the key storylines from the game, including the Notre Dame game plan to play a tight, physical contest all over the field and endure any pass interference calls that came along with it. The Trojans also failed to capitalize following any of the huge plays they generated, allowing the Irish to steal the momentum back almost immediately after the impressive opening touchdown drive, the Makai Lemon 42-yard reception and the Ja'Kobi Lane go ahead touchdown and two point conversion. Following the loss, USC once again fell out of the AP top-25 and once again will go into a bye week looking for answers to why the team played so poorly away from the friendly confines of the Coliseum.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") intern India Otto are back in studio previewing a game that has been circled on USC's schedule, a road trip to rival Notre Dame. The No. 20 Trojans come in at 5-1 fresh off a 31-13 win over Michigan while the No. 13 Irish have won four-straight after starting 0-2 and are playing suffocating defense as of late. Both programs are looking for a huge win that would propel them into the College Football Playoff discussion as well as retain or take back the Jeweled Shillelagh (maybe forever?). The crew gives their thoughts on some of the key matchups in this game, with an elite USC offense taking on a stingy ND defense and run-focused Irish offense taking on a Trojan defense that bounced back against the run-focused Wolverines last week. They also discuss some of the key injuries for the game, with USC's top two running backs out and Notre Dame's starting center and defensive tackle out.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods try to make sense of the unprecedented fall from grace for the Penn State Nittany Lions, who three weeks ago was a play away from taking down Oregon to now firing head coach James Franklin after inexplicable losses to UCLA and Northwestern. The guys give their takes on the regime change and discuss where PSU goes from here. From week seven the Big Ten had some exciting games including Indiana smashing Oregon in Eugene, USC outmuscling Michigan, Ohio State throttling Illinois and UCLA smoking Michigan State. Looking ahead to week eight the last scheduled USC vs. Notre Dame game is in South Bend, Washington travels to Michigan and Penn State will try to get right at Iowa. The guys also welcome in special guest Chris Gorham, starring in CBS's new drama "Sheriff Country" (and a huge UCLA fan). As always, they wrap up the podcast by answering listener email and live chat questions.

Who want's to watch a pair of 40 yr old QBs duke it out on TNF, how much longer is the leash for Jonathan Smith at Mich. St. and we ask Ryan Abraham if this will be the last USC-ND game for a while.
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.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and Chris Trevino are back in studio taking about how this USC football team finally put a complete 60 minute effort together, taking down the No. 15 Wolverines 31-13 Saturday night in the Coliseum. It was an extremely important game for head coach Lincoln Riley, and following that disappointing loss to Illinois he used the bye week to get his Trojans ready for what was going to be a toughest test against Big Ten powerhouse Wolverines. The Men of Troy defensively passed that test with flying colors, holding Michigan to just 109 rushing yards and 316 total yards. The offense was exceptional as well, putting up 489 yards with walk-on tailback King Miller rushing for 158 yards (8.8 per carry) and a touchdown. The crew talks about how clean of a game USC played, even with a pair of offensive turnovers. The Trojans only had three penalties on the night, none on the defense, and allowed Michigan to convert just 2 of 9 on third down. This is the podcast version of our Tunnel Vision video show.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the Trojans impressive 31-13 victory over Michigan Saturday night in the Coliseum. Both teams came into the contest at 4-1 and both were looking to make a statement to the rest of the Big Ten conference. For USC, the need was greater after suffering that last second loss to Illinois on the road two weeks ago, and head coach Lincoln Riley used the bye week well to prepare his guys who put together their most complete performance of the season. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on what the Trojans did differently on the defensive side of the ball to force more stops and shut down what was a very potent Michigan run game. He also talks about the penalty situation, a nagging issue for this USC squad that became a non-factor on Saturday with only three yellow flags thrown at the Trojans and non of them on defense.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio taking a detailed look at USC's next opponent, the Michigan Wolverines. After Michigan's early season road loss at Oklahoma, the Wolverines have been playing better football and bringing along five-star freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood. USC had a great 4-0 start to the season before getting derailed at Illinois two weeks ago. Both teams have aspirations of making the college football playoff, but a loss on Saturday likely would derail those dreams. For the Trojans, this is easily one of the most important games in Lincoln Riley's tenure. With a bye week to get healthy and work on some of the Trojans defensive issues, it is imperative that Riley's squad comes out and plays good, clean football against one of the biggest brands in the Big Ten. USC has yet to have a signature win in its new conference and could get one if the Trojans can take care of business Saturday in the Coliseum. The crew talks about what USC was able to do during the bye week to get healthy while getting ready for Michigan, what some of the major matchups are against the Wolverines and finish the show with their score predictions for the game.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods recap an exciting week six in the Big Ten, including UCLA's surprising victory over Penn State in the Rose Bowl, the biggest upset of the 2025 college football season. The Bruins shocked the Nittany Lions, marking the first time a winless program with at least four losses took down a top-10 team since 1985. Dave and Ryan then preview this weekend's slate, featuring Indiana heading to Oregon, Michigan in the Coliseum against USC and Ohio State on the road taking on Illinois.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back to discuss how the Trojans used the bye week to get healthy and prepare for one of the most important games on the schedule, a home contest against the No. 15 Michigan Wolverines. After USC fell to Illinois as a touchdown favorite, Saturday's Coliseum matchup against the powerhouse in Maize and Blue becomes an almost must-win situation for Lincoln Riley's squad, especially with road trip to South Bend on deck. The guys go over some of the key matchups for this game, including a powerful Michigan ground game that could keep Jayden Maiava and the USC offense off the field for long stretches at a time. The Wolverines also rank in the top-20 in most of the major defensive categories, including forced turnovers and passes defensed. If Michigan can slow down the Trojan run game, it could come down to Maiava outdueling the stingy UM secondary. Ryan and Connor really want to the Trojans play a clean football game, limiting the major mistakes and forcing Michigan to outplay and outscore USC in the friendly confines of the Coliseum, far away from Ann Arbor.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back to discuss what they saw from USC in the 34-32 loss at Illinois. It was a disappointing effort from the Men of Troy and they will need to use this bye week to figure out what went wrong and how they can fix it heading into an extremely important home game against Michigan. After rewatching the game, the crew talks about some of the highs that stood out, including incredible performances by Jayden Maiava, Makai Lemon and the tight ends, and the most concerning lows that included poor linebacker play, a lack of pressure from defensive line and poor coverage skills in the secondary. They also give an update from Tuesday's practice, where head coach Lincoln Riley put any rumors of rampant food poisoning that had a major impact on the players to bed, saying that a few guys were affected but it wasn't widespread and it wasn't an excuse for why they played so poorly. They then provide some injury updates including center Kilian O'Connor being out at least two games and running back Bryan Jackson who has no timetable for his return.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the latest poor performance for the Trojans on the road, falling to the Fighting Illini 34-32 Saturday morning in Champaign. USC didn't look like it handled the multiple time zone travel and early kickoff very well, despite the team heading out to the Midwest a day early. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on what went wrong for the Trojans on this Big Ten road trip, with an offense that looked like it could do almost anything it wanted and a defense that looked confused and failed to pick up stops time and time again. USC had no business being in the game but somehow mounted a crazy 14-point comeback late, taking a 32-31 lead with under two minutes left in the game. Unfortunately the defense wasn't able to step up and the Trojans lead was short lived with Illinois kicking the game winning field goal as time expired. On the offensive side, Coach Hyde talks about how there shouldn't be any excuses for injuries, football is a physical game and guys get hurt. He wants to see a better rhythm with the offense and let quarterback Jayden Maiava run the football more. On the defensive side Coach Hyde thinks Lincoln Riley was critical of the defense for the first time. A couple of years ago Riley said he would be move involved with the defense but from what we can see, he hasn't been. He is also seeing a lot of confusion when the ball is snapped and guys don't look like they know what they should be doing. It doesn't appear that this group is playing as a cohesive unit and it's hard to win football games without a good defense. Coach Harvey Hyde has been part of the Peristyle Podcast since 2008 and in the USC football world he is an expert on X's and O's, personnel, coaching philosophies and recruiting.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern Riley Sager are back in studio breaking down another disappointing road performance by this USC football team, falling to Illinois 34-32 in Champaign. The offense turned it over twice, the defense couldn't get a stop and untimely penalties, including one that wiped out a 75-yard touchdown, continue to plague the Trojans who fall to 4-1 on the season, 1-1 in the Big Ten, and out of the AP top-25. Despite all of the sloppy play and miscues, USC miraculously took a 32-31 lead with 1:55 left in the game, the first and only lead for the guys in Cardinal and Gold. Then the Fighting Illini did what they had done all game, moved the ball with ease against the Trojan defense, setting up the game winning 41-yard field goal as time expired. Both Ryan and Connor were in Illinois to witness this debacle and give their thoughts on what went wrong, from Kamari Ramsey getting food poisoning, to center Kilian O'Connor going down with an injury, the defense giving up 503 yards and over 12 yards per pass attempt and everything in between.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio taking a detailed look at USC's next opponent, the Illinois Fighting Illini. The Trojans have started out 2-0 in Big Ten play, with a road win against Purdue and a home victory against Michigan State. Now the task at hand becomes more difficult, playing an ranked Illinois squad that was just humiliated on the road by Indiana. The Illini will do everything it their power to bounce back and use the game against the Trojans as their "get right" game, but will Jayden Maiava and company simply be too much for the Illini? USC's offense has been clicking with an explosive passing attack and relentless ground game and it will try and exploit an Illinois defense that has been decimated by injuries in the secondary. The Trojans have only punted four times all season and with Maiava taking care of the football, the points have been coming fast and furious. Defensively no program has sacked the quarterback more than the Trojans and no Power Four school has given up as many sacks as the Illini. If the USC pass rush can get home, it should go a long way to picking up a win in Champaign. This is the podcast version of our Tunnel Vision video show.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are welcoming in true freshman defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart (aka "Thanos") about his first four games wearing the Cardinal and Gold and his breakout performance late Saturday night in the Coliseum with a pair of tackles for loss against Michigan State. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-5, 290-pound five-star freshman defensive lineman from Edna Karr in Reserve (La.) will chat live with the guys, talking about that his massive performance over the weekend, his decision to reclassify to the class of 2025, making the move from Louisiana to Los Angeles, picking up at least one tackle for losses in his last three games, how he has adjusted to the speed of the game and lots more.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern Riley Sager are back in studio breaking down the Trojans 45-31 victory over Michigan State late Saturday night in the Coliseum. It looked like USC had put the game away but the Spartans, in large part to a series of SC mistakes, clawed their way back in the third quarter cutting the lead to just 7 points. At that point quarterback Jayden Maiava and the rest of the offense took over and created some much needed separation, thwarting any potential MSU miracle comeback. Through four games the offense has been elite with no turnovers for Maiava and only four punts on the season, one of which was garbage time in the final seconds of the Michigan State victory. USC is first in total offense at 584 yards per game, first in points per game at 52.5, 1st in points per play, 1st in yards per play at 9.1, 4th in nation with 7.1 yards per rush and 4th with 11.9 yards per pass attempt. It has been a different story on the defensive side of the ball, with some marked improvements over last season but also some major concerns. The front seven is getting after it, forcing a lot of negative plays and pressure on the opposing quarterbacks. However, the secondary is struggling with multiple busted coverages each game including two that turned into Spartan touchdowns on Saturday. The penalties have also derailed some of the better defensive efforts, including four flags on one MSU drive that turned a punt where USC got the ball back into a Michigan State touchdown. The crew talks about all of that and everything else they saw in the Coliseum and what their initial thoughts are heading into a tough road test against No. 23 Illinois.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the very late night victory for the Trojans, taking down Big Ten foe Michigan State 45-31 in the Coliseum. With the 8 p.m. local kickoff the game didn't get over until close to midnight and while it wasn't the cleanest performance, USC is now 4-0 and 2-0 in conference play. Coach Hyde starts the show talking about how improved this USC offense is and how he liked the game plan against Michigan State, utilizing two back sets, play action passes and quarterback runs. With one of the top receivers out and losing a top offensive lineman didn't derail this offense that is playing at an elite level right now. On the defensive side Coach Hyde talks about the much improved play of the defensive line, some shortcomings from the linebackers and how he feels the secondary is playing confused and it is hurting their ability to play at a higher level. Coach loves freshman Jahkeem Stewart and feels he has the potential to be a great player for the Trojans. Coach finishes by talking about the penalty situation for USC after another 10 penalty game against MSU. Coach doesn't mind the aggression causing flags but there are far too many mental errors that have led to punishing penalties. Coach Harvey Hyde has been part of the Peristyle Podcast since 2008 and in the USC football world he is an expert on X's and O's, personnel, coaching philosophies and recruiting.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio previewing the Trojans late night showdown against Michigan State. The Spartans come into the Coliseum boasting a 3-0 record with quarterback Aidan Chiles playing at a high level and more importantly, not turning the ball over. USC is coming off its first real Big Ten road win at Purdue and will try to secure another conference win before the huge road showdown with No. 9 Illinois. The crew talks about the state of this USC football program heading into the game with an offense that has generated more yards per game than any other program, the most sacks in the country and some concerns in a secondary that has struggled at times and is dealing with multiple injuries. Looking at the Spartans, there are certainly some concerns despite the undefeated record. The defense has been leaking, giving up points to FCS Youngstown State last weekend, and there are multiple major injuries that head coach Jonathan Smith is dealing with. Lincoln Riley faced off with Smith back in 2022 when the Trojans survived an upset bid from Oregon State. Eventual Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams struggled until late, finally putting together a touchdown drive to give USC a 17-14 victory in Corvallis. Smith will try to recreate some of that magic to give the Spartans a shot Saturday night, coming in as a 17.5 point underdog to SC. This is the podcast version of our Tunnel Vision video show.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back to talk about USC's successful road trip to Purdue, preparing for a late night game against Michigan State and losing cornerback Chasen Johnson for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. Both Ryan and Connor were in West Lafayette to witness the Trojans take down the Boilermakers 33-17 following a three-hour lightning delay. It was another turnover free performance by quarterback Jayden Maiava and the first win for the Trojans in the Eastern time zone since 2012. On Saturday night USC will push to go 2-0 in conference play with Michigan State coming to the Coliseum. The 3-0 Spartans will have to adjust to an 11 p.m. EDT kickoff time while slowing down the explosive Trojan offense. The crew gives their thoughts on the MSU matchup with a road trip to No. 9 Illinois looming. On the injury front, we learned on Tuesday that cornerback Chasen Johnson would be missing the rest of the season due to a knee injury. With nickel backs Prophet Brown and Alex Graham banged up, there are mounting concerns for the USC secondary. CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and Chris Trevino are back from West Lafayette where they witnessed the USC football team winning a game in the Eastern time zone for the first time since 2012, a 33-17 victory over Big Ten foe Purdue. The Trojans didn't win a true conference road game last season and now get that monkey off their back as the Big Ten schedule begins to heat up. It wasn't the cleanest game for Lincoln Riley and company, with 9 penalties for 104 yards, 4 for 13 on 3rd down conversions and giving up double-digit explosive passing plays to Purdue. But the Trojans were able to make some big plays of their own, including three interceptions with a pick-6 by Jamaal Jarrett, 10 yards per pass attempt by Jayden Maiava, zero punts and a perfect 4 for 4 on fourth down plays. The crew breaks down everything they saw and heard in West Lafayette, including the unexpected three hour weather delay that put all game plans in jeopardy and the importance of picking up a road conference win against a Purdue squad that looks much improved over last season.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about a historic weekend for this Trojan football team, with the first ever true Big Ten road win, the longest weather delay for a USC football game and the largest Trojan to ever score a touchdown! Coach Hyde gets into USC's 33-17 win over Purdue in West Lafayette that puts the Trojans at 3-0 on the season and 1-0 in conference play. The game wasn't as clean as the first two in the Coliseum, but to be able to get a victory on the road against an improved team under bizarre circumstances with the over three hour lightning delay shows this team has some resilience and is capable of battling through adversity. The guys talk about some of the huge plays in this game, including the 360-pound defensive lineman Jamaal Jarrett plucking a tipped pass out of the air and returning it 70-yards for the touchdown. The Trojans have had some big man touchdowns over the years, but no one as big as Jah who showed some impressive speed on his interception return. They also discuss USC making its AP Poll top-25 debut at No. 25 and the highly anticipated game at Illinois getting Fox's Big Noon Kickoff treatment on September 27.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio to preview the Trojans first road game and first Big Ten contest of the season, a trip to West Layfette to face Purdue. The 2-0 Boilermakers have already doubled their win total from last season thanks to a complete roster rebuild from new head coach Barry Odom and an upset of the Trojans would be a massive boost for this once proud program. USC took care of business at home, outscoring its overmatched opponents by a combined 99 points. Now head coach Lincoln Riley and company will try to pick up its first true Big Ten road win against Purdue, which would be USC's first victory in the Eastern or Central time zones since 2012. With expectations high for the Trojans in 2025, the goal has to be not only a win in West Layfette, but a resounding victory that lets the conference know the USC football team is for real. Ryan, Connor and India all give their thoughts on how the Trojans will perform at Purdue and give their score predictions. This is the podcast version of our Tunnel Vision video show.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back to talk about USC's resounding victory over Georgia Southern Saturday in the Coliseum and the upcoming road matchup with Purdue. The 2-0 Trojans have outscored their opponents by a combined 99 points, but the schedule gets harder with Big Ten play kicking off and the first game away from the friendly confines of the Coliseum on deck. The crew doesn't spend much time on the Clay Helton Bowl, but they give some quick thoughts on how the Trojan passing offense shined and the USC defense faced some challenges against the Eagles. With the team winning by 39 points and coming out of the contest healthy, head coach Lincoln Riley couldn't ask for a much better start to the season heading into the conference slate. The "preseason" is now in the rearview mirror and USC will try to win its first game outside of the Pacific time zone since winning at Colorado in 2023. After winning just one game last season, Purdue is off to a 2-0 start and the Trojans will have to play well to secure its first real Big Ten road victory.

The USC 2025 football season is well underway after a Week 2 win over Georgia Southern in the Clay Helton Bowl. Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino were both on the sidelines from the Coliseum for a front-row seat to USC's 59-20 win over the Eagles. Trevino and Spratling dive into their 'Two-Minute Drill' with the former taking time to talk about the emotions of seeing Helton once again in the Coliseum while Spratling takes the time to show some extra love for senior defensive end Anthony Lucas recording the first two sacks of his career. The Helium Boys dive into their Stock Up, Stock Down segment, which includes USC's offensive line, the running back room, the duo of Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane and the Trojans' early sack production. The Helium Boys then dive into the second half of the show to preview Purdue, which represent USC's Big Ten opener and first road game of the season. This is a reunion game for a multitude of reasons: USC starting QB Jayden Maiava played under Odom at UNLV in 2023, guiding them to the Mountain West Championship game. Former USC offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Josh Henson left the Trojans this offseason to be the offensive coordinator with the Boilermakers. Henson was part of Lincoln Riley's initial staff in 2022. Former USC wide receiver Charles Ross was on the team but was forced to medically retire. Former USC and Georgia wideout Michael Jackson III is one of the top contributors. The podcasting duo then answer your questions about everything from the recruiting impact of USC's 2-0 start to double coverage potentials to Caleb Williams' reputation. Following the questions, Chris takes the reins for the 'Take It or Leave It' segment along with the 'Overtime' period, which includes Amelia Earhart, Purdue Pete, a special boilermaker and a live mascot discussion. We release new episodes of the Peristyle Podcast nearly every day during the season.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Shotgun Spratling and intern Riley Sager are back in studio discussing the Trojans 39-point victory over Clay Helton's Georgia Southern Eagles. For the second straight week USC was able to blowout an overmatched opponent, easily covering the massive spreads and allowing backups to come into the game and gain invaluable experience. Following along on USCFootball.com's message board The Peristyle during the game, it was apparent that Trojan fans were expecting perfection against former USC head coach Clay Helton. The Trojans were never in danger of losing the game, were up by multiple touchdowns most of the evening and pretty much did whatever they wanted when they had the ball, but the P was acting like the sky was falling and this team would never win another football game. Ryan, Shotgun and Riley were all in the Coliseum on Saturday and give their thoughts on what impressed them from the Trojans, including a record-setting 755 yards of offense, and what concerns them including some defensive breakdowns that kept the game closer than expected early on.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking USC's second-straight blowout victory at home to start the 2025 college football season, a 59-20 beatdown of Georgia Southern led by former Trojan head coach Clay Helton. Coach Hyde talks about the Trojan offense that pretty much did whatever it wanted, with huge plays in the passing game and a running back group led by Waymond Jordan that Coach Hyde really thinks can be special. Flipping over to the defensive side, there are more concerns there with the way the Eagles were able to pick up yardage in the run game and put a few scoring drives together against the Trojans. The USC coaching staff was rotating players early, but Coach wants to see they figure out their best lineups so they can be playing at an optimal level in Big Ten play. He would also like to see the linebackers be more of a presence and play in the opponent's backfield more and have the cornerbacks make plays on the ball more and prevent some of the coverage busts that have happened early in the season. Coach Hyde finishes the show talking about the upcoming game against Purdue, with head coach Barry Odom already doubling the Boilermakers win total from 2024. This road contest could be a significant challenge for the Trojans, and coach wants to see this team go into with a business like attitude, play well and come home with the first conference victory of the season.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back to discuss the successful 2025 season opener against Missouri State with the Trojans putting a historic beatdown on the former FCS program 73-13. Now the focus shifts to Georgia Southern, a step-up in the caliber of opponent but still not a true test for a USC football team with higher aspirations than just making a decent bowl. The crew gives a few thoughts on what they took away from the week one victory, focusing mostly on younger Trojans, including true freshman Husan Longstreet, getting an opportunity for early development with significant playing time against live competition. With former USC head coach Clay Helton coming into the Coliseum this weekend, Ryan, Connor and India give their thoughts on what sort of reaction the crowd will have and how this USC football team will respond, knowing that a significant portion of the fanbase is looking for a similar result to last weekend against MSU. In their first game the Eagles looked good in the first half against Fresno State before falling apart in the second half. Helton and company are staying in California and are looking for a much better performance in week two, something Lincoln Riley will try to prevent from happening. After talking about this matchup, the hosts will discuss other notes around the USC football program including a few players retuning from injury and the reaction to removing the "drip check" from the Trojan Walk.

The season has finally arrived. Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another edition of the Helium Boys Podcast to discuss USC's 73-13 beatdown of Missouri State to improve to 1-0 on the year. Trevino and Spratling dive into their 'Two-Minute Drill' with the latter giving praise to walk-on running back King Miller for his 75-yard TD run, a notable achievement for a walk-on player. Trevino offers some fan shoutouts while also preaching fans should enjoy the win but remember it was a much weaker opponent. For the first time this season, the Helium Boys dive into their Stock Up, Stock Down segment, which includes safety Bishop Fitzgerald, Jayden Maiava, USC's big plays and much more. The Helium Boys then dive into the second half of the show to preview Georgia Southern, led by former USC head coach Clay Helton. Georgia Southern is remaining in California for the week leading up to the USC game after heading West to play Fresno State. Helton is 20-20 in his first 40 games at Georgia Southern and 0-3 in bowl games. We release new episodes of the Peristyle Podcast every week.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern Riley Sager are back in studio for the very first game recap show of a year, breaking down the absolute beatdown USC put on Missouri State. The Trojans took down the Bears 73-13, scoring at least 70 for the first time since the 2005 opener against Arkansas and putting up the most points since 1930 when USC hung 74 on California. It was a rude awakening for MSU who went on the road for its first game as an FBS program and got dismantled in the Coliseum by a very motivated Trojans squad. Offensively the Trojans were nearly flawless with only three incompletions thrown, 14 different players caught passes, 8 different players scored offensive touchdowns, averaged 10.5 yards per play, a perfect 7 for 7 in the red zone and one lone turnover on sack/fumble by backup quarterback Husan Longstreet. Defensively USC focused on using that bigger, more athletic defensive front to generate pressure and the plan worked, with the Trojans generating 5 sacks and 13 tackles for loss. The defense forced a pair of turnovers including a pick-six, gave up just 224 yards and a paltry 3.9 yards per play and 2.2 yards per rush. The crew talks about this near flawless performance and what it means, if anything, for this football team going forward. They also discuss the differences from last season including that improved defensive front, the impressive running backs room, Jayden Maiava keeping the ball out of harms way, a different vibe during warm-ups and dropping the "Drip Check" individual entrance for a more team-focused approach.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking USC's home opener against Missouri State. Looking to erase some bad memories from last season, the Bears took the brunt of the Trojans frustrations head on, falling 73-13 in the Coliseum in MSU's very first game as an FBS program. Coach Hyde starts off talking about what USC can get out of a blowout like this, feeling that such an overmatched opponent that didn't put up much resistance makes it harder to evaluate your own team. Even though most everything went right for USC, it was still a great opportunity to play against live competition, it just lacked some of the adversity a team will face during the season like 3rd and long situations or two-minute drills. Looking at the running backs, with everyone doing well every time they touched the ball and even a walk-on scoring for the first time in over 20 years, it makes the player evaluation that much harder. He did feel the offensive line played well but wanted them to not look back if they were blocking down field, a position they were in often since the run game was so successful. Coach said his message to his team this week would be that we are not world beaters just because we won by 60. He'd like to see some full scrimmaging this week just to get some better game conditioning that the starters weren't able to get on Saturday. He feels Georgia Southern might be something similar and this team really needs to get ready for week three on the road against a Purdue squad that looks much improved over last year. He finishes the show talking about USC dropping the "drip check" coming into the Coliseum and how he feels its a step in the right direction with players coming off the bus looking like a team instead of a bunch of individuals. Coach Harvey Hyde has been part of the Peristyle Podcast since 2008 and in the USC football world he is an expert on X's and O's, personnel, coaching philosophies and recruiting.
