    Trojan spring football rolls on with back-to-back padded practices

    In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing everything they have seen and heard during the first six practices of USC spring football. On Friday the Trojans put the pads on for the first time before Saturday's closed Coliseum workout. The team was back out in full pads on Tuesday and Wednesday, with several offensive and defensives players speaking to the media after practice as well as head coach Lincoln Riley. The crew was at all of the open workouts and share their thoughts on which players were out or limited so far, some of the unique special teams drills we have seen, how some of the young players are coming along and what differences they have seen with new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson running things on that side of the ball. They also talk about the huge number of recruits that have been visiting all of the practices, some of the former players that have stopped by including wide receiver Marqise Lee and Thursday's USC Pro Day.

    USC reliever Sax Matson talks stopper role and Trojans' 15-0 start

    Shotgun Spratling and Kasey Kazliner return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down another unblemished weekend for USC baseball as they improve to 15-0 on the season after opening the Big Ten season with a sweep of Illinois! They also talk with junior left-handed pitcher Sax Matson about the expansion of his role and the team's hot start to the season. Matson discusses the development of his arsenal during his time at USC, including the addition of a cutter this season to a fastball that's climbed five miles per hour since his freshman year and a breaking ball that has devastated hitters this year. He also chats about Sean Allen's coaching and the mentality he takes to the mound where he hopes to visit at least 40 times this season to tie the program appearances record. Matson again played a critical part in the Trojans' pitching efforts that were again electric as Mason Edwards and Grant Govel helped USC throw back-to-back 4-0 shutouts with the staff allowing only three runs over the weekend. USC fell behind early Sunday, but rallied back to take a 5-3 win to bookend the week with two-run victories after also rallying to defeat UC Irvine, 6-4, during a midweek matchup. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming double midweek matchups and the Trojans' first road trip out of Southern California this weekend when they travel to Nortwestern.

    Trojans depth on display as spring football kicks off

    In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio breaking down the what they saw and heard from the first two days of USC spring football practice. On Tuesday morning head coach Lincoln Riley and company were back out on Howard Jones Field for their first spring workout of 2026, showing off some impressive depth with the addition of 32 incoming freshman that made up the No. 1 ranked high school recruiting class in the nation. Each position group had higher numbers that we typically see during spring workouts, giving this coaching staff a lot of opportunities to see what they have as they prepare for the 2026 college football season. The crew was at practice on Tuesday and Wednesday and they discuss what stood out to them, from the footwork and quick release of true freshman quarterback Jonas Williams, to the versatility of offensive lineman Tobias Raymond to the different feel at practice now that Gary Patterson is running the defense. They also share what Riley and the players that were made available to the media had to say, talking about these first days of spring with plenty of new faces wearing the cardinal and gold. They also talk about how the former Trojan football players performed at the NFL Combine, with Ja'Kobi Lane running an impressive 40-yard dash, Lake McRee putting on a show in the weight room and Makai Lemon showing his skills in the gauntlet.

    Trojan basketball seasons on the skids, Chad Baker-Mazara no longer on team

    The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with Shotgun Spratling and new co-host India Otto breaking down the latest news and recent struggles of ⁠USC⁠ men's and women's basketball. The Women of Troy finished the regular season dropping their final three games after their worst loss of the season, giving up a career-high 40 points to Kiyomi McMiller and falling on the road at Penn State before losing at home against No. 2 UCLA after giving up 22 offensive rebounds. On the men's side, things have been even worse as the Trojans dropped their fourth and fifth consecutive games the last week, including losing by 19 points to UCLA and then giving up 51 second-half points to let No. 12 Nebraska rally from a halftime deficit and roll to an easy victory. But the bigger news came the day after the Huskers handed USC's men their fifth straight loss when the athletic department released a statement that active leading scorer Chad Baker-Mazara was no longer a member of the program. The USC Triple-Double looks at all the latest in the Triple-Double segment before taking a look at where the USC men's and women's teams stand at this point in the season, seeing where they stack up in the standings and what is the latest bracketology involving the Trojans. Finally the podcasting duo moves into ta preview of the week ahead where both programs try to right the ship as the USC men try to turn around their fortunes and move back up the bubble pecking order while the Women of Troy head to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Tournament. Both teams will face Washington first and then if USC's women win their opening conference tournament matchup, both teams will face off against UCLA.

    Previewing USC's defense for 2026 spring camp

    Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the microphones with a little twist to their typical format as they take on previews for USC's upcoming 2026 spring camp, which begins on Tuesday. Part 2 takes on the defense.  The boys of Helium skip on the pleasantries and jump straight into the spring preview of the defensive side in the following order: specialists, defensive tackles, defensive ends, linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties.  USC's defense is full of questions as Hall of Fame head coach Gary Patterson takes over the coordinator duties. Though he uses a similar 4-2-5 defense to what the Trojans frequently used under former defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, what personnel will Patterson prefer and utilize in each of those 11 defensive positions. That's one of the things that makes this spring so intriguing as we yearn to decipher exactly what Patterson and his defensive coaching staff may be looking for from each position. The spring defense also presents some interesting opportunities for some of the youngsters, including the freshman from the No. 1-ranked recruiting class, because of some injuries that will keep some expected starters from being full participants. Who will step up amongst the young players? And who will show the biggest improvements from the returners?
