Peristyle Podcast - USC Trojan Football Discussion

In this episode of the Peristyle Podcast Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde discuss USC's 39-36 win over WSU in the Coliseum and answer a lot of your questions about this team.

After hitting the road for a second week in a row, Shotgun Spratling and Keely Eure are back in the studio for another episode of the Family Feud Podcast. This week, the duo breaks down what went wrong in Austin and previews what the Trojans need to do in order to get a victory Friday. First off, Shotgun relives the exhaustion of traveling to Austin with the added difficulty of a short week. If the duo is this tired from USC's schedule, how will the fatigue factor affect the Trojans? Could the shortened schedule add a level of difficulty to Friday's matchup? Along the same lines, Keely and Shotgun debate head coach Clay Helton's decision for USC to practice only in shells this week. Is it necessary to practice in full pads during a short week? Will the lack of physicality rear its head on gameday? In this week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely and Shotgun have to work diligently to find Stock Up candidates following the lackluster showing the Trojans produced in Texas. They both agree that true freshman Amon-Ra St. Brown was a bright spot from the loss. The wide receiver had a career night that has his stock trending upwards. Keely adds a player to the Stock Up column even though he didn't have the best performance in Austin, while Shotgun highlights a solid performance by true freshman quarterback JT Daniels. It was much less difficult to find Stock Down candidates after a woeful performance from multiple USC units. The Trojans were not consistent enough to sustain drives, which bogged down repeatedly between the 30- and 50-yard line. A lot of the concern falls on the offensive line, who never seemed to be able to put together five stellar blocks on the same play and struggled with the Longhorns' zone pressures. Keely and Shotgun wonder if it's possible for USC to have a quick on the offensive line considering that the Trojans will see some of the same stunts and pressure from the Cougars front seven. In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, Keely gives her take on football in the state of Texas and what the atmosphere was like in the Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium. Shotgun and Keely also share their thoughts on how practice went this week and if there were any notable changes. The USCfootball.com duo talk about coaching and offensive line play in the 'Agree/Disagree' section of the podcast, wondering aloud the impact the offensive line has and will have on the team this year, with Shotgun believing it is the most crucial element to the season. Keely and Shotgun also discuss what could happen if USC loses on Friday. Could the wheels start to come off for the Trojans?

Tunnel Vision Replay: Fallout from USC's loss to Texas

In our first emergency Peristyle Podcast of the season Shotgun Spratling and Ryan Abraham break down USC's troubles in Texas, falling to the Longhorns 37-14.

Womp. Womp. Womp. USC went on the road in the always-intriguing early season top 25 conference matchup against Stanford and laid an egg. While it wasn't quite the giant goose egg, the Trojans only managed three little quail eggs for points, falling 17-3 to the Cardinal. The blame was plentiful and easily spread among a number of Trojan units and the coaching staff, in particular. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return to the USCfootball.com studio for a rare Wednesday episode of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss who USC fans should be really upset with and where there should be concern as the Trojans take to the road for a second week in a row. The Trojans head out of state for the first time this season, traveling to Austin, Texas to take on the burnt orange Longhorns on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. PST on FOX. In this week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely and Shotgun have to work diligently to find many Stock Up candidates following the lackluster showing the Trojans produced on the Farm. They do both agree on the positive work USC's backup safeties, C.J. Pollard and Talanoa Hufanga, did once they were thrown into the fix following an injury to starter Isaiah Pola-Mao on the first defensive drive of the game. A couple of defensive linemen also make the Stock Up cut to stay out of the Stock Idle pileup that collected many of the defensive Trojans. It was much less difficult to find Stock Down candidates after a woeful offensive output. USC was not consistent enough to sustain drives, which bogged down repeatedly between the 30- and 50-yard line. It got to midfield seven times and finished with just a single field goal. A lot of the concern falls on the offensive line, who never seemed to be able to put together five stellar block on the same play and struggled with some long, looping stunts that Stanford combined with zone pressures to create disruption up front for USC. Keely and Shotgun both agree that the tight end position had a poor showing in Palo Alto as well, but there could be possible good news soon as Josh Falo has practiced the last two days, Austin Applebee could be be back next week and Daniel Imatorbhebhe did some light work for the first time in more than a week. In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, Keely tries once more to display to Shotgun that Stock Neutral is a thing...and something all the youths are partaking in. She also takes a look at the vibe on the USC sideline, particularly in the second half of a game where the Trojans were only down by two scores but had the look of a team that had no chance. Shotgun talks about the different punctuation of a quick talk Clay Helton gave to the team right after stretching finished on Tuesday as compared to what Helton said last week about Stanford being the Trojans' toughest game all yea. The USCfootball.com duo talk about coaching and offensive line play in the 'Agree/Disagree' section of the podcast, wondering aloud the impact the offensive line has and will have on the team this year, with Shotgun believing it is the most crucial element to the season -- one that will determine where the Trojans go after their first loss of the season. The Family Feud Podcast ends this week with the questions you emailed us (familyfeudpod@gmail.com), including what Dr. Shotgun would prescribe for the USC team to fix their ailments and whether the Trojans are prepared for a focused Tom Herman and a trip to Austin.
