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. 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 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 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.

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle Podcast's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with co-hosts Shotgun Spratling and Connor Morrissette (aka Mr. Triple Double) breaking down some recent USC men's basketball practices, including Shotgun getting his first opportunity to see second-year head coach Eric Musselman run a practice. The podcasting duo talk with the lone scholarship returner from last season as Terrance Williams II joins the show to talk about his road to recovery from a broken scaphoid -- a small boat-shaped bone located in the wrist -- suffered last year during a game at Oregon. Williams discusses the trials and tribulations he endured during his rehab for an injury he initially thought would only require a short recovery and allow him to get back on the court by the end of the 2024-25 season. Williams talks about his relationship with Musselman and how it led to him returning to USC despite the rest of the roster departing. He also discusses his role as a leader this season and what the 6-foot-7 wing has seen from this year's roster as he's slowly worked his way back onto the court, though he's still yet to be 100 percent cleared for full contact. After a break, Shotgun and Connor discuss what they've seen from a couple of recent practices since the Trojans have returned for training camp in the lead up to the 2025-26 season. They look at how the roster has developed since first being assembled and debate what the starting lineup could look like.

On today's episode of The Sporting Tribune Today, co-hosts Arash Markazi and Grant Mona break down the latest news from around the sports world. They'll start with the shocking new report on the Clippers' allegations, as journalist Pablo Torre reveals that a minority owner, Dennis Wong, invested in the now-bankrupt company that paid Kawhi Leonard, just days before a payment was made to Leonard. The duo will then pivot to the diamond to discuss the Dodgers' recent winning streak, including their series sweep over the Rockies, which put them three games up in the NL West. Plus, they'll give a full update on the USC Trojans football team as they prepare for their first Big Ten conference game. Finally, the guys will preview the Week 2 matchups for both the Rams and the Chargers as they look to build on their season-opening wins. Produced by: Grant Mona

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 Trojans remain unranked heading into Week 3 after two dominant wins. There have been a ton of conversations centered around the AP Poll, and how the voting system, and who partakes in it, is flawed.While the voters should take pride in the task they have been given, it is also an impossible ask. So how do we fix it?I give two very simple solutions that would make a lot of sense and create a very unbiased system.Thoughts, Trojan Fam?Tune in and make sure to subscribe to the USC LAFB YouTube Channel!Use promo code USCLAFB on Sleeper and get 100% match up to $100! https://Sleeper.com/promo/USCLAFB.

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 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.

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 latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Shotgun Spratling, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio to preview the Trojans second game of a season, a matchup with a very familiar face that roamed the Coliseum sidelines for over a decade. The Clay Helton bowl is finally here, with Georgia Southern (0-1) coming to town to take on the Trojans (1-0) as a 28.5-point underdog. Last week USC boat raced an overmatched Missouri State squad, putting up 73 points and winning by 60. Georgia Southern flew all the way to Fresno only to get a second half beatdown by the Bulldogs, giving up 351 rushing yards and losing by 28 points. Even though this is the second-straight week of facing a lower level opponent, the Trojans should be highly motivated to put on a show against Clay Helton's squad. For years USC football fans wanted the administration to move on from Helton, and by the time they made the move and brought in Lincoln Riley the football program was in a bad spot, having gone 4-8 in the final season Helton started as head coach. USC appears to be back on the right track now, but between the fans upset at the Helton years and the staff knowing the huge hole they needed to dig out of, motivation should not be a factor in Saturday's contest in the Coliseum.

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.

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.

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. This is the podcast version of our Tunnel Vision video show. ⁠CLICK HERE for 75% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠!

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.

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.

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.

Bill opened the show by explaining how Jerry Jones' ego was the biggest reason why the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers. Bill then congratulated Green Bay for pouncing on the opportunity to improve their roster and says the Packers are now in prime position to win the Super Bowl. The hour wraps up with Bill reacting to Nebraska squeaking by Cincinnati and if there should be concern with the Cornhuskers. Hour two kicked off by previewing the opening weekend in college football with Sports Illustrated reporter Bryan Fischer, who gave his thoughts on Ohio State-Texas and which team could disappoint the most this season. Buy or Sell followed as Bill answered if the Cowboys trading Parsons or the Mavericks trading Luka Doncic was worse and if any top team in college football will get upset this weekend. The show ends with Bill nominating candidates and crowning this week's Bum of the Week.

Bill opened the show by breaking down the biggest storylines he's paying attention to in college football this season before giving his conference and national championship picks. Would You Rather followed as Bill debated between seeing Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift break up or Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson staying together forever and if he is rooting for Brian Kelly or James Franklin to fail more. Hour two opened up with Westwood One NFL anaylst Ross Tucker joining the show to discuss if the Commanders veteran leadership is a boost or concern and if Micah Parsons could miss Week 1. Buy or Sell was next as Bill answered if Grimsby Town beating Man United is the biggest upset in soccer history and if there will be a woman head coach in the NBA by the year 2030. Vegas Mistake's Kevin Todd joined the show to give his best bet of the opening college football weekend before the show ended with Bill reacting to the kerfuffle at the US Open between Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko.

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.

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!

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.

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. Would You Rather was next as Bill decides between Riley and Kirk Ferentz, hitting a homer or robbing one and listening to a jazz concert on a plane or sitting next to someone with their shoes off. Hour two kicked off with Bill chatting with Super Bowl champion Bryant McFadden about college football programs trying to reclaim relevancy and his expectations for the Steelers this season. Buy or Sell was next as Bill answered if he likes an interesting style of coaching, if Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos needs to stop talking and if the Dodgers should think twice about pitching Shohei Ohtani in the postseason. Bill ended the show by discussing the latest example as to why Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is washed.

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.

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.

Introduction. (0:00:00). We're back (for a bit!) to interrupt your summer Mailbag. (0:1:21:21). Thanks to Robert L., other personally identifying information unavailable, for the excellent "question."Applying the Rules. (0:02:31). In our first episode recorded in a real, live, professional studio, Gabe Rivin is back to apply what he taught us in the last episode. To make sure we're all on the same page, we ask him to show us how we would tell the story of Wooden v. Saban as if he were doing it in podcast form, using the rules of dramatic storytelling. Also, Sam shows off with some next-level sound design. Transparent Flattery. (0:51:47). Justin is back. He brings not only questions for Gabe, but also a stunning revelation about how he feels about (at least one) USC Trojan, all in an effort to curry favor with our guest. Surprise, it works!

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.

The crew also gives their thoughts on what they saw and heard from day one of training camp, with an extended viewing period of stretching and individual drills and their first look at new strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll.

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.
