    No time to celebrate UW victory with white out road trip to State College on deck

    In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio a day early to accommodate for early travel for what should be a raucous environment in State College. The Trojans have played at home five of its six games, but now needs to pile up some frequent flier miles heading to Penn State for a white out night contest. USC is coming off a better defensive effort against Washington and will now need to couple that with a better road effort to get a win over the Nittany Lions and keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive. The guys take a look back and the win over Washington, from the thick-six by Jahkeem Stewart that gave USC the lead back to the struggles on the offensive side of the ball against what turned out to be a stout Huskies defense. They also look ahead to this important matchup against a reeling Penn State squad that gave up over 400 yards of offense to Northwestern last weekend. It was not a pleasant reunion for PSU defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, facing off against his old boss at UCLA and current OC for the Wildcats Chip Kelly. USC head coach Lincoln Riley is hoping to keep that theme going when he calls plays against his former DC this weekend.

    Coach Harvey Hyde says an ugly win is better than a beautiful loss

    On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together discussing USC's 25-21 victory over Washington and while it was ugly, it was an extremely important result for Lincoln Riley, keeping the Trojans playoff hopes alive. The Men of Troy haven't won against UW since 2016 and desperately needed a win against a former Pac-12 foe after last week's loss to Oregon. Coach Hyde breaks down the game, talking about how this young squad needs some veteran leaders to step up, alpha players that the other guys in the locker room will listen to and follow into battle. On the offensive side, he talks about how the team came out flat and lacking consistency and how he would like to see the wide receiver rotation tightened up. On the defensive side it was a much more impressive performance and he loved the move of Gary Patterson to the booth, but Washington's offense isn't great and he wants to see this type of effort against more balanced attacks in the Big Ten. The guys also talk about some of the issues USC has had on special teams and with discipline as the penalty numbers continue to climb. They end the show talking about the upcoming road trip to Penn State where a "white out" crowd will try and make things tough on these Trojans. 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 - Trojans escape with a much needed victory over the Huskies

    On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio talking about USC's 25-21 win over Washington on a hot Saturday evening in the Coliseum. Heading into the game the Trojans were relying on a prolific offense that could overcome the team's defensive shortcomings. Against the Huskies it was the defense that stepped up to overcome mistakes on the offensive side of the ball, including a spectacular thick-six when a hobbled Jahkeem Stewart picked up a fumble and rumbled 48-yards for the go-ahead touchdown. Ryan and RJ breakdown the good, the bad and the ugly (and there was plenty of ugly on both sides) and talk about how that even though it wasn't pretty, it was an uber-important result for head coach Lincoln Riley and this Trojans squad. Following the loss to Oregon, the local and national media constantly discussed the job security of Riley and the importance of making the College Football Playoffs this year. A loss to a struggling UW when SC came in as a 9.5-point favorite would have likely been the final nail in Riley's coffin, at least as far as fans were concerned. With the victory, USC keeps its playoff hopes alive heading into back-to-back road games against Penn State and Wisconsin (sandwiched around a bye week). The guys also talk about Gary Patterson's move to the coaches' booth for the game, the improved communication on that side of the ball, USC punting as any times in this game as it did through the first five games of the season and plenty more.

    Tunnel Vision: Previewing USC's potential bounce-back matchup with Washington

    On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio talking about what USC is hoping to be a bounce-back victory over another former Pac-12 foe, with the Washington Huskies coming to the Coliseum. Both programs are coming off disappointing home conference losses after both had winning but underperforming efforts in their out of conference slates. Lincoln Riley has come under fire for his squad's performance against the Ducks and he needs a win badly to try and get the Trojans ready for a couple of challenging road trips. The crew takes a look at this intriguing matchup, with a surging USC offense facing a stingy Washington defense and a struggling Trojan defense against a middling Huskies offense. UW quarterback Demond Williams could be the X-factor in this one, with his ability to scramble and pick up yardage with his legs. SC's defensive front has been good at generating pressure but bad at turning that pressure into sacks, tackles for loss or turnovers, so containing Williams will be an important aspect of this game. At the end of the show Ryan, RJ and India will answer questions from the chat and make their score predictions for the game. This is the podcast version (audio only) of our Tunnel Vision episode.

    USC's missed opportunity against Oregon will be hard to recover from

    In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and Makena Arteaga are back in studio talking about why the Trojans failure against the Ducks has now put this program in dire straights. We said the Oregon game was a must-win with serious consequences, and now it is up to Lincoln Riley to somehow try and bounce back, make a run against an extremely difficult schedule and make the College Football Playoffs. Saturday's contest wasn't just important because of the opponent, a former Pac-12 rival that USC recruits against often, it was also the first program with a pulse the Trojans faced, putting into question how good this team actually is. The crew also dives into the Desman Stephens suspension that head coach Lincoln Riley discussed on Tuesday. Riley said he met with athletic director Jen Cohen and decided that Stephens would be suspended for USC's game against Washington. They also talk about how the fanbase has responded to the disappointing effort against the Ducks. Supporters came out with tremendous energy Saturday in the Coliseum, but many have renewed doubts about the program and are back in "wait and see" mode as the season rolls on. What will the crowd look like against a struggling Washington team and what happens if SC doesn't sweep the road trip against Penn State and Wisconsin? Losing to Oregon takes a mulligan off the table for Lincoln Riley. That means each and every game will require the Trojans bringing something close to their 'A' game to even have a chance of finishing 10-2 and earning a spot in the CFP.

    USC football chokes against Oregon, Desman Stephens fallout, best non-Flatliners bounce backs

    The Helium Boys, Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino, are back behind the microphones to break down the latest USC disappointment after the Trojans gave up 14 unanswered points to lose their fifth straight to Oregon, falling to 4-1 after a 41-27 defeat. They also preview USC's bounce-back opportunity against Washington this weekend. The podcasting duo opens with the Two-Minute Drill  where Chris discusses learning about the creation of one of his favorite TV theme songs while Shotgun talks about the Trojan Family and Coliseum atmosphere for the matchup against the Ducks. The boys of Helium jump into listener comments before breaking down the Trojans' failure to finish in its loss to Oregon. They talk about the positives of getting playmakers Jahkeem Stewart and Terrell Anderson back in the mix and Jayden Maiava rebounding with a better performance and better mechanics. But they also discuss the rise in open space for the USC defense and decline of accountability in the program, particularly on the defensive side. Multiple times Shotgun references the movie Flatliners as he talks about how the Trojans can leave their sins in the past. The podcasting duo converse about the Desman Stephens hit on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore, the reaction and the national firestorm response. They also discuss USC's usage of slogans and gimmicks to try to push the team forward while the Trojans continue to struggle to be able to carry momentum and ride the wave. Shotgun and Chris then, after a break, take a look forward at USC welcoming Washington into the Coliseum for a primetime matchup where both teams are searching for a big bounceback following their first loss of the season. They look at the key matchups that will take place, including Huskies quarterback Demond Williams going against USC's linebackers and secondary and the matchup between the USC crowd and head coach Lincoln Riley. To close out the show, Shotgun takes on Trevino's Take It or Leave It segment before an Overtime period of ranking famous comebacks.
