On this episode of the Peristyle Podcasts hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the Trojans finishing up fall camp with a Coliseum scrimmage on Friday morning. The scrimmage was open for media viewing, but we were not allowed to report on the specifics of what we saw out on the field. Coach Hyde gives his general thoughts on what he saw, from what the team looked like coming off the bus to what he witnessed from the press box as the offense was facing off against the defense. Overall Coach Hyde thinks the potential is there for a very good Trojan football team in 2025. He thinks that the players are better, he feels the position coaching is better, but he really wants to see an adjusted offensive philosophy. Coach sees the Trojans as a one-dimensional offense that doesn’t play to the team’s strengths and quarterback Jayden Maiava’s strengths. If USC can run the ball more and put Maiava in favorable situations, Coach Hyde feels the Trojans can win a lot of games. The guys also talk about the NFL preseason debuts of quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Sam Darnold plus Michigan getting "sanctions" from the sign stealing scandal of a couple years back. 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.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back discussing the second week of fall camp including the first major injury, defensive back Prophet Brown. Head coach Lincoln Riley disclosed that Brown went down with a non-contact injury and will be out for at least the first part of the season. On Friday Brown was seen rolling into practice on a scooter with crutches under his arm. Before the injury Brown was working with the first team defense at the nickel spot, opening up an opportunity for some younger guys to get in the mix. Two weeks in, Connor revealed his stock risers of camp and the crew discuss his picks and why he thinks they have improved their position on the Trojan depth chart. The guys also share their thoughts on the newly released preseason AP Poll that, like the Coaches Poll, left the Trojan football team out of the top-25. The Trojans have an opportunity to start the year under the radar and build a strong resume as the season rolls on. ⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠Spotify⁠!

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another edition of the Helium Boys Podcast to break down and react to the first couple of weeks of fall camp for the 2025 season. The duo talk about the lingering questions about the offensive line and whether the fate of the season could be decided by the court system as well as break down where the Trojans turn with their nickelback position after a non-contact injury to senior Prophet Brown. They also discuss USC being unranked and chat about movies -- both the best of this year, none of which Shotgun has seen, and classics that Chris has yet to view. The episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' where Chris and Shotgun decide to hop into the season with a blind run, trying to hit two minutes without a stopwatch running. Chris discusses his bread-free campaign and the Trojans not being ranked in the top 25 while Shotgun discusses the offensive line. The Helium Boys then break down each of the top fall camp storylines. After a break, Chris gives some of his stock risers through the first two weeks of fall camp before the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing the team sack leader, biggest impact newcomers, deep rotations offensive line coach Zach Hanson's coaching style and more.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back discussing the first week of USC fall camp with seven total practices, four available for media observation including two fully open workouts. The guys share their observations from what they have seen and heard out on Howard Jones Field and what they learned from interviews with all of the coaches, including new strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll, and players after practice. The guys also share their thoughts on the newly released Coaches Poll that left the Trojan football team out of the top-25. We have seen the improvements made throughout the program this off-season, but nationally USC is still looked at as a 7-5 type of team. They also revisit a question posted by "asianwoof" on The Peristyle, asking the entire USCFootball.com staff to predict if the offense or defense will finish with a higher rank in five different categories and what the team's final rank in the AP Poll will be. Ryan and Connor share their thoughts for each category and share the picks from the rest of the staff. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 50% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino come together for the final installment of a three-part special behind-the-scenes series of the Helium Boys Podcast. The Helium Boys work through the process of compiling and debating the top 10 spots for the initial summer ranking of USCFootball.com's Top 30 Most Important Trojans' list for the 2025 season. For the sixth year in a row, the USCFootball.com staff is counting down the Top 30 Most Important Trojans in a series of offseason articles leading up to the kickoff of fall camp. The series is based off our staff's guesses on the development of returners as well as the value of newcomers as the Trojans' roster comes together after another offseason of turnover under head coach Lincoln Riley. Each USCFootball.com staff member submits his own list of whom he believes will be the most important Trojans. Considerations for the rankings take in a wide range of factors including positional depth, 2024 stats, overall talent, departures from the previous season, projected development and expectations. The only guidance we try to follow is that the most important factor for placement is if this particular player was lost for the season, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The individual lists are submitted and compiled before Shotgun and Chris come together to sift through the information, debate and assemble the official USCFootball.com rankings. In this podcast, the Helium Boys give you a peek behind the curtain, allowing you to listen in on the final third of the rankings discussion as they debate and settle on the initial summer preseason rankings for the top 10, including a spirited back and forth on the top three spots and who should be the No. 1 Most Important Trojan for 2025.

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and new intern India Otto are in studio and joined remotely by Trojan fourth year defensive lineman Devan Thompkins who came to USC in the class of 2024 out of Edison High School in Stockton. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-5, 293 pound defensive tackle from Northern California joins the show to talk about his journey to USC, how he has built up his body over his college career and what has changed working with new strength coach Trumain Carroll, switching from basketball to football, what he learned from playing in all 13 games last season and how he expects to build on that during the 2025 season. New defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn improved the Trojans on that side of the ball, but USC had limitations on the defensive line. Expectations are high with bigger, stronger bodies along the front seven including players like Thompkins who are expected to make bigger contributions. The interview with Thompkins was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

USC has limited depth at the linebacker spot and Walker is poised to play a major role in the middle of the Trojan defense.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing who the top-30 most important Trojans are heading into the 2025 college football season. The USCFootball.com staff was polled and we are revealing the results one by one, starting with defensive back Prophet Brown coming in at No. 30. Please note, considerations for rankings take in a wide range of factors including depth, 2024 stats, overall talent, departures from last season, projected development and expectations. But the most important factor for placement on the list was if this player was lost, how detrimental would it be to the team and the overall success of the season. The crew also talks about how the Trojans landed a Fourth of July commitment from four-star 2026 four-star DeSoto (Texas) wide receiver Ethan "Boobie" Feaster, who chose USC over Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M. Feaster is the 31st overall commitment for USC's No. 1 recruiting class and the fifth wide receiver. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In this special edition of Tunnel Vision hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio and joined remotely by Trojan second year defensive lineman Elijah Newby who came to USC in the class of 2024 out of Cheshire Academy in Connecticut. Thanks to House of Victory, the 6-foot-6, 232 pound linebacker turned defensive end out of New England had a lengthy interview with our hosts, talking about the recruiting process that brought him 3,000 miles away from home to Southern California, making the switch from linebacker to the defensive line, getting some action last season including the Las Vegas Bowl victory over Texas A&M and his growth at his new position this spring. USC certainly needed some help along the defensive front in an attempt to generate more pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Moving Newby from linebacker to pass rusher was likely the most impactful move the Trojans made this off-season, giving more depth and speed to the defensive front. The interview with Newby was conducted in conjunction with House of Victory, an alumni-backed nonprofit collective dedicated to providing a competitive edge in the NIL space for University of Southern California student-athletes.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio continuing our early Trojan opponent previews, taking a look at the Oregon Ducks and the UCLA Bruins. USC travels to Oregon on Saturday, November 22 with a kickoff time that has yet to be revealed. The Ducks won the Big Ten last season before getting bounced by Ohio State in the CFP. Do our hosts think USC can head into Eugene and get an upset victory? UCLA comes to the Coliseum one week later on Saturday, November 29 for another installment of the crosstown rivalry and no kickoff time has been set. The Rose Bowl was the only Big Ten "road" win for USC last season and the Trojans will try to keep local superiority over the Bruins to end the regular season. The crew also discusses the three players that will represent the Trojans at Big Ten Media Days later in July, wide receiver Makai Lemon, offensive lineman Elijah Paige and safety Kamari Ramsey. Notably absent is starting quarterback Jayden Maiava, who took over the final four games of the season for Miller Moss. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE for 30% OFF an annual VIP membership to USCFootball.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
