Podcasts about USC football

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 six 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 out 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, 2024 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 offensive linemen Tobias Raymond and Justin Tauanuu, as well as players whose importance declined whether through an inability to lock up a starting role or the emergence of other players.

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 for the very first game preview show of a year, taking a look at the Missouri State Bears. The Trojans have been chomping at the bit to get back out on the field this off-season and they will finally have their chance Saturday at 4:30pm PT against MSU, with the game being shown on the Big Ten Network. Coached by Ryan Beard, Missouri State is transitioning from FCS to FBS, leaving the Missouri Valley Conference for Conference USA, and the Trojans will be the Bears very first opponent as an FBS program. USC is the only FBS program to have never played an FCS foe, but this game will be as close to playing one as it gets. This is the podcast version of our Tunnel Vision video show.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back to discuss the 2025 season opener against Missouri State with new revelations along the offensive line with Tobias Raymond taking over the left guard spot, former walk-on Kilian O'Connor winning the competition to be USC's center and Justin Tauanuu settling in as the right tackle starter. Unlike last season, the Trojans get to start the season with a lower profile game, giving this offense an opportunity to figure things out on the offensive line before the meat of the Big Ten schedule. Missouri State moved up from the FCS level, leaving the Missouri Valley Conference for Conference USA and will play its first game as an FBS program against the Trojans. The guys talk about some of the challenges the Bears can pose on Saturday and what they are looking to see from this Trojan football team. USC does have a couple of injuries heading into the opener including freshman defensive lineman Jahkeem Stewart and kicker Caden Chittenden. ⁠⁠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 special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") are joined remotely by third-year offensive lineman Elijah Paige, who returns to Troy as the clear starter at left tackle and the most solid and certain piece of USC's offensive line. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-7, 315 pound safety out of Pinnacle High School in Arizona joins the show to talk about representing USC at Big Ten Media Days, learning and growing as a player following periods of struggle, his 18 games of experience including 13 starts at left tackle, how the rest of the offensive line is shaping up around him and plenty more. As a redshirt freshman, Paige was a key cog on the Trojan offensive line last season and was named to the FWAA Freshman All-American Team and was an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention.

On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking USC football game week finally arriving, with the Missouri State Bears coming to the Coliseum to kick things off on Saturday afternoon. Last season head coach Ryan Beard led MSU to an 8-4 record, 6-2 in the Missouri Valley, good for 4th place in the conference. This season the Bears move up to Conference USA and will try to shock the world with an upset of USC on the road. The guys talk about what the challenges are of facing a lower level opponent out of the gate as opposed to a high profile opener like the Trojans had last season against LSU. They also share what they know about this Missouri State football program including how Beard took over for then head coach Bobby Petrino following the 2022 college football season. Petrino has since moved on to become the offensive coordinator at UNLV in 2023, Texas A&M in 2024 and now Arkansas in 2025. Coach Hyde talks about how he feels that high school football in Southern California is as good as anywhere in the country. Coach Hyde is a former high school coach and to see these top teams travel across the country and win was really impressive. He also talks about using private quarterback coaches and how he feels the SEC going to nine conference games will help USC keep its series with Notre Dame going into the future. 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.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and India Otto are joined remotely by new Trojan defensive back Kennedy Urlacher, who spent his freshman season in South Bend and then transferred to USC this summer.

Urlacher has played in 14 games for the Fighting Irish and recorded 12 tackles including one tackle for loss and a pair of pass breakups.

Bill opened the show by explaining why this is a massive season for Lincoln Riley and why the USC coach should be fired if they don't make the College Football Playoff this season. Bill then takes a call on college football programs that have fallen off before telling a story about him accidentally FaceTiming a celebrity in his phone early this morning.

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another edition of the Helium Boys Podcast to discuss the breaking news from Monday: USC offensive lineman DJ Wingfield lost his lawsuit against the NCAA and cannot suit up this season.  Wingfield's loss is a significant blow for USC as the Redondo Beach (Calif.) Redondo Union grad was projected to be the starting left guard this fall. The Trojans will now likely turn to either Tobias Raymond or Micah Banuelos -- two players with one combined start between them in their college careers -- to fill the position.  It's no surprise that both hosts spend their 'Two-Minute Drill' on the Wingfield situation and where USC goes from here as an offensive line. Chris and Shotgun spend the first half of the show breaking down some of the ongoing battles and big question marks up front.  The Helium Boys then dive into the second half of the show with Shotgun taking on the second annual Over/Under challenge from Chris. They look over how Shotgun did from 2024 before looking at potential numbers for this fall.  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠!

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back to discuss the breaking news that Purdue offensive lineman transfer DJ Wingfield won't be available to the Trojans this season after losing the eligibility lawsuit he filed against the NCAA. On Monday judge James Selna heard arguments from Wingfield's lawyer and NCAA council and ended up ruling against Wingfield's request for an injunction. The Trojans picked up Wingfield out of the portal and the Redondo Beach (Calif.) Redondo Union grad was projected to be USC's starting left guard this fall. Not having Wingfield available is a major blow to a position group that was already searching for answers after losing players like Jonah Monheim to the draft and Emmanuel Pregnon and Mason Murphy to the portal. To replace Wingfield, the Trojans will likely turn to either Tobias Raymond or Micah Banuelos to fill the position. On Friday the Trojans held a scrimmage in the Coliseum to end fall camp and Connor shares some general thoughts on what he saw. Please note, while media was allowed to attend, we are not permitted to report on the details of what went down. The guys also talk about some Big Ten news including the leaked college football playoff expansion plan from Tony Petitti and the sanctions handed down to the Michigan Wolverines. ⁠⁠⁠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 talking about the Trojans finishing up fall camp with a Coliseum scrimmage on Friday morning. The scrimmage was open for media viewing, but we were not allowed to report on the specifics of what we saw out on the field. Coach Hyde gives his general thoughts on what he saw, from what the team looked like coming off the bus to what he witnessed from the press box as the offense was facing off against the defense. Overall Coach Hyde thinks the potential is there for a very good Trojan football team in 2025. He thinks that the players are better, he feels the position coaching is better, but he really wants to see an adjusted offensive philosophy. Coach sees the Trojans as a one-dimensional offense that doesn't play to the team's strengths and quarterback Jayden Maiava's strengths. If USC can run the ball more and put Maiava in favorable situations, Coach Hyde feels the Trojans can win a lot of games. The guys also talk about the NFL preseason debuts of quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Sam Darnold plus Michigan getting "sanctions" from the sign stealing scandal of a couple years back. 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.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back discussing the second week of fall camp including the first major injury, defensive back Prophet Brown. Head coach Lincoln Riley disclosed that Brown went down with a non-contact injury and will be out for at least the first part of the season. On Friday Brown was seen rolling into practice on a scooter with crutches under his arm. Before the injury Brown was working with the first team defense at the nickel spot, opening up an opportunity for some younger guys to get in the mix. Two weeks in, Connor revealed his stock risers of camp and the crew discuss his picks and why he thinks they have improved their position on the Trojan depth chart. The guys also share their thoughts on the newly released preseason AP Poll that, like the Coaches Poll, left the Trojan football team out of the top-25. The Trojans have an opportunity to start the year under the radar and build a strong resume as the season rolls on. ⁠⁠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!

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another edition of the Helium Boys Podcast to break down and react to the first couple of weeks of fall camp for the 2025 season. The duo talk about the lingering questions about the offensive line and whether the fate of the season could be decided by the court system as well as break down where the Trojans turn with their nickelback position after a non-contact injury to senior Prophet Brown. They also discuss USC being unranked and chat about movies -- both the best of this year, none of which Shotgun has seen, and classics that Chris has yet to view. The episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' where Chris and Shotgun decide to hop into the season with a blind run, trying to hit two minutes without a stopwatch running. Chris discusses his bread-free campaign and the Trojans not being ranked in the top 25 while Shotgun discusses the offensive line. The Helium Boys then break down each of the top fall camp storylines. After a break, Chris gives some of his stock risers through the first two weeks of fall camp before the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing the team sack leader, biggest impact newcomers, deep rotations offensive line coach Zach Hanson's coaching style and more.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back discussing the first week of USC fall camp with seven total practices, four available for media observation including two fully open workouts. The guys share their observations from what they have seen and heard out on Howard Jones Field and what they learned from interviews with all of the coaches, including new strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll, and players after practice. The guys also share their thoughts on the newly released Coaches Poll that left the Trojan football team out of the top-25. We have seen the improvements made throughout the program this off-season, but nationally USC is still looked at as a 7-5 type of team. They also revisit a question posted by "asianwoof" on The Peristyle, asking the entire USCFootball.com staff to predict if the offense or defense will finish with a higher rank in five different categories and what the team's final rank in the AP Poll will be. Ryan and Connor share their thoughts for each category and share the picks from the rest of the staff. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

A new season of Notre Dame football brings the return of a new season of Pod of Gold, where the South Bend Tribune's Mike Berardino and Tom Noie and WNDU's Jackson Neill discuss everything Irish. There was plenty to ponder in this early August episode. What are the early impressions of preseason camp, specifically, how good can that Notre Dame defense be in 2025? How about the offensive line? Then, there's the little issue of the quarterback competition, and who might have the early edge between C.J. Carr and Kenny Minchey. We also discuss the future - or lack thereof - of the Notre Dame/USC rivalry.

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 2025 season. For the sixth 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, 2024 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 2025.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and new intern India Otto are in studio and joined remotely by Trojan fourth year defensive lineman Devan Thompkins who came to USC in the class of 2024 out of Edison High School in Stockton. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-5, 293 pound defensive tackle from Northern California joins the show to talk about his journey to USC, how he has built up his body over his college career and what has changed working with new strength coach Trumain Carroll, switching from basketball to football, what he learned from playing in all 13 games last season and how he expects to build on that during the 2025 season. New defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn improved the Trojans on that side of the ball, but USC had limitations on the defensive line. Expectations are high with bigger, stronger bodies along the front seven including players like Thompkins who are expected to make bigger contributions. The interview with Thompkins 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.

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 spots No. 11 through 20 for the initial summer ranking of USCFootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans' list for the 2025 season. For the sixth 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, 2024 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 second third of the rankings discussion as they debate and settle on the initial summer preseason rankings for No. 11 through No. 20, which may be the most difficult in determining because these are often players we think have a lot of potential, but haven't always reached the top end of that potential.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio and joined remotely by Trojan second year linebacker Jadyn Walker who came to USC in the class of 2024 out of Portage Northern High School in Michigan. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-2, 231 pound linebacker out of the heart of Big Ten country joins the show to talk about being recruited to play in D'Anton Lynn's defense, working with new linebackers coach Rob Ryan, his progress this spring, how he has been preparing for fall camp working with new strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll and the stiff competition in his position group. USC has limited depth at the linebacker spot and Walker is poised to play a major role in the middle of the Trojan defense. The interview with Walker 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.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing who the top-30 most important Trojans are heading into the 2025 college football season. The USCFootball.com staff was polled and we are revealing the results one by one, starting with defensive back Prophet Brown coming in at No. 30. Please note, considerations for rankings take in a wide range of factors including depth, 2024 stats, overall talent, departures from last season, projected development and expectations. But the most important factor for placement on the list was if this player was lost, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The crew also talks about how the Trojans landed a Fourth of July commitment from four-star 2026 four-star DeSoto (Texas) wide receiver Ethan "Boobie" Feaster, who chose USC over Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M. Feaster is the 31st overall commitment for USC's No. 1 recruiting class and the fifth wide receiver. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio and joined remotely by Trojan second year defensive lineman Elijah Newby who came to USC in the class of 2024 out of Cheshire Academy in Connecticut. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-6, 232 pound linebacker turned defensive end out of New England had a lengthy interview with our hosts, talking about the recruiting process that brought him 3,000 miles away from home to Southern California, making the switch from linebacker to the defensive line, getting some action last season including the Las Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M and his growth at his new position this spring. USC certainly needed some help along the defensive front in an attempt to generate more pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Moving Newby from linebacker to pass rusher was likely the most impactful move the Trojans made this off-season, giving more depth and speed to the defensive front. The interview with Newby 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.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio continuing our early Trojan opponent previews, taking a look at the Oregon Ducks and the UCLA Bruins. USC travels to Oregon on Saturday, November 22 with a kickoff time that has yet to be revealed. The Ducks won the Big Ten last season before getting bounced by Ohio State in the CFP. Do our hosts think USC can head into Eugene and get an upset victory? UCLA comes to the Coliseum one week later on Saturday, November 29 for another installment of the crosstown rivalry and no kickoff time has been set. The Rose Bowl was the only Big Ten "road" win for USC last season and the Trojans will try to keep local superiority over the Bruins to end the regular season. The crew also discusses the three players that will represent the Trojans at Big Ten Media Days later in July, wide receiver Makai Lemon, offensive lineman Elijah Paige and safety Kamari Ramsey. Notably absent is starting quarterback Jayden Maiava, who took over the final four games of the season for Miller Moss. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this college football podcast episode, we're joined by VSiN's Tim Murray for a deep dive into the college football betting landscape ahead of the 2025 season. From Clemson's movement in the futures market to the wide-open nature of this year's championship race, Tim breaks down the key themes, betting strategies, and situational angles that matter most. We explore everything from sandwich spots and letdown games to the art of line shopping and why you should never bet teasers in college football. Tim also shares insights on which teams the pro bettors are targeting, discusses the impact of the transfer portal on betting markets, and reveals his favorite long-shot Heisman bets.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio continuing our early Trojan opponent previews, taking a look at the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Iowa comes to the Coliseum on Saturday, November 15 for homecoming weekend, with the game kicking off at either noon or 12:30 p.m. PT. The Hawkeyes have been great on defense, special teams and in the run game, but incompetent passing the football. Can Iowa turn that around one of the worst passing offenses in the country? To do so, offensive coordinator Tim Lester went out and upgraded his receivers and brought in quarterback Mark Gronowski from South Dakota State. USC travels to Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 18 with a kickoff time of 7:30 p.m. ET/4:30 p.m. PT. The Fighting Irish are coming off an appearance in the national championship game against Ohio State and are looking to make another College Football Playoffs run. This is the last scheduled game in the long-standing rivalry, one that has been lopsided towards the Irish as of late. What will USC need to do to get its first win in South Bend since 2011? Ryan and Connor also discuss how USC quarterback commit Jonas Williams finished the the Elite 11 Finals, the "Play Like a Trojan" philanthropic event on campus this week hosted by Trojan linebacker Anthony Beavers and the latest open USC basketball practice that included five-star freshman Alijah Arenas addressing the media for the first time, talking about his April late night car crash coming home from a shooting session. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this college football podcast episode, Ralph Russo from The Athletic joins us to break down the complex College Football Playoff negotiations happening behind closed doors between the Big Ten, SEC and other conferences. Our conversation centers on how the number of SEC conference games is driving the debate, explores the Big Ten's push for automatic qualifiers, and examines why these meetings keep happening without real progress.Ralph explains the power dynamics between Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey, why ESPN might not want playoff expansion, and how Brett Yormark is trying to wedge the SEC away from the Big Ten. Plus, the "reimagined" conference championship weekend, whether a breakaway league is possible, and why this feels like college football's most charged moment since the BCS era.Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction05:02 - The SEC Decision Tree16:19 - Power dynamics: Who's really running these meetings?27:26 - The Unpopularity of SEC & Big Ten Power36:35 - Reporting challenges and ESPN's actual role vs. perception42:08 - The future of playoff expansion and what's next51:19 - Outro and preview season setup_____A fan of our college football podcast?

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio talking about what was a massive recruiting pickup for the Trojans, getting a pledge from Kahuku (Hawaii) four-star linebacker Talanoa Ili. He played three seasons of varsity football at Orange Lutheran and accumulated 199 tackles, 38 for losses and eight sacks. For his senior season the 6-foot-3, 220-pound linebacker transferred to the North Shore of Oahu to play at Kahuku High School and could potentially wear the legendary No. 55 for the Trojans next season. The guys also take a look at some of Connor's summer opponent previews after he reviewed the Cover Three podcast's "Summer School" series, including the Michigan State Spartans, Illinois Fighting Illini, UCLA Bruins, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Iowa Hawkeyes and the Oregon Ducks. Ryan and Connor discuss the Elite 11 Finals that kicks off in Manhattan Beach on Tuesday evening with USC quarterback commit Jonas Williams taking part, some of the new proposals being discuss to modify the college football calendar following the House Settlement and lots more. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

From Clemson fans proposing eminent domain to control TV broadcasts, to Vanderbilt wondering if its players are too smart for football, to Florida State fans suggesting they'd recruit better without a head coach at all.
