    Trojans treating second bye week differently following historic Ohio State win

    In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast, hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia, and Makena Arteaga are in the studio discussing how USC's historic victory over Ohio State has completely shifted the outlook around the program and head coach Lincoln Riley. The Trojans have gone from being left for dead to squarely back in the race for the College Football Playoff, quieting the calls for Riley's job—at least for now. The crew breaks down USC's rainy Halloween night victory in the Coliseum over the Buckeyes, where the Trojans seized control early and never let Ohio State back into the contest. They also examine Riley's comments on Trojans Live and during his Tuesday media availability, zeroing in on how the team plans to approach its second bye week differently before traveling to Bloomington to face defending national champion Indiana. With the initial College Football Playoff rankings officially unveiled, USC enters at No. 20—eight spots behind a two-loss Ohio State squad the Trojans just defeated by 12 points. Despite the gap, Riley emphasized that USC still controls its own destiny, with two losses and a pair of top-10 matchups remaining on the regular-season schedule to strengthen its postseason resume.

    USC stuns No. 2 Ohio State, prepared statements, tunnel spats and rushing the field

    The Helium Boys, Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino, are back behind the microphones after a spooky season 30-18 Halloween upset by USC of No. 2 Ohio State. The Helium Boys break down all the wild affairs that took place from the second-play-from-scrimmage touchdown, the new hurdle highlight, fans (sometimes ungraciously) storming the field in a storm, tifts in the tunnel and prepared statements to close out the night. The podcasting duo opens with the Two-Minute Drill where Shotgun has his prepared statement about Saturday night's win over the Buckeyes while Chris talks about how frustrating this Trojans team can be this season before delivering his own prepared non-serious statement.   The boys of Helium jump into listener comments before discussing the win over the Buckeyes where the Trojans were able to win in a Big Ten manner, getting an early lead and then sitting on it while playing in poor weather. Chris and Shotgun have a laundry list of positives in the Stock Up/Stock Down section as they break down the latest dynamic play of the USC freshman class, Lincoln Riley getting his getback, special teams being special in a positive manner and a defense that bothered a freshman quarterback all night. After a break, the podcasting pair answer a number of listener questions, including talking about confrontations on the way off the field and whether storming the field was the proper thing to do for USC fans. They eventually close out the show with Shotgun taking on Trevino's Take It or Leave It segment before an Overtime period of things to possibly do during a field storming, if you are the star player.

Now comes the test: can we take that same physical play on the road to Indiana? November football is here!

    Coach Harvey Hyde on the Trojans historic victory over Ohio State on Halloween night

    On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the Trojans following their worst performance of the season with their best: a 30-18 victory over No. 2 Ohio State on a rainy Halloween night in the Coliseum. USC played well in all three phases of the game, taking an early lead on the Buckeyes and never looking back. USC was able to run the ball effectively, the defense stiffened up in the red zone by forcing field goals instead of touchdowns, and special teams stepped up and did its job despite the wet conditions. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on everything that happened Saturday night, from the massive turnaround between the Wisconsin game and the Ohio State game, to the fans storming the field and head coach Lincoln Riley's comments after the huge win. 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.

    Tunnel Vision - Big Ten weather can't stop the Trojans from upsetting No. 2 Ohio State

    On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision, USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are in studio, joined remotely by Shotgun Spratling, talking about USC's massive 30-18 upset victory over No. 2 Ohio State on a rainy Halloween night in the Coliseum. It was a spooky week for head coach Lincoln Riley, who had to address questions about whether he was the right man to lead the Trojans, but he gave his critics pause following his squad's dominating performance against a Buckeyes team that was one of the betting favorites to win the national championship. Our crew breaks down what they saw Saturday night, from the 69-yard catch and run by Trent Mosley on the second play of the game to the first field storming by Trojan fans in the Coliseum since the 2013 win over No. 4 Stanford. The offense was able to bounce back from its poor showing in Madison, running the ball effectively and utilizing its freshmen pass catchers in Mosley and tight end Mark Bowman. The defense was also exceptional, keeping OSU out of the end zone until 2:12 left in the game and getting the ball back for Jayden Maiava and the offense. Following the game, Lincoln Riley was able to take his victory lap, talking about how they believed in the building that they had something special going despite the two losses. He also read from a prepared statement that our guys give their thoughts on. Next up, USC has another bye week before hitting the road to take on defending national champion Indiana. Three games left, two top-10 teams, and a clean sweep needed to make the College Football Playoff. This is the podcast version (audio only) of our Tunnel Vision episode.

Watkins, who Burns described as "ferocious" in everything she does, returns to lead a group that has three of the last four No. 1 overall recruits. Burns discusses where Watkins may have grown and the leadership role she has on this year's team.  The Trojans signed one of the top freshman classes in the nation and the signees should play significant roles in how far the Trojans can go this season.

After a break, Shotgun and India discuss their thoughts after seeing one preseason exhibition and what can be gleaned from how USC performed.
