Helium Boys: USC 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.
