Peristyle Podcast - USC Trojan Football Discussion

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.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

The Composite Two-Star Recruits podcast returns as USC squanders Oregon shot in a 41-27 loss. The Cilantro Boys also give a USC-Oregon recruiting recap, Washington visitor list and do the Cut Five, Keep Three challenge.

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.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.
