Description
Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino have returned from the Pacific Northwest and are on the mics for the Helium Boys Podcast, breaking down USC's 36-27 loss to No. 6 Oregon Saturday night in Autzen Stadium, the final road game of the season for the Trojans.
The Helium Boys episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' with both hosts giving their initial reactions to the weekend in Eugene. Naturally, Shotgun avoids talking about the actual game for as long as he can. Shotgun and Chris discuss the notable takeaways, including the fact they've seen this game with a couple of different details over and over this season.
In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the podcasting duo discuss who/what impressed, including second-year freshman Tre'Quon Fegans taking advantage of an opportunity as well as the basketball teams' No. 1 recruits being named this season's first Pac-12 Freshman of the Week. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit over the weekend with Bryson Shaw seeing a noticeable depreciation with former defensive coordinator Alex Grinch no longer around.
The podcast quickly previews USC's final regular-season game, the crosstown rivalry with the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins (6-3) are in the midst of a two-game losing streak, falling 17-7 to Arizona State over the weekend. USC won last year's matchup 48-45 in dramatic fashion in the Rose Bowl.
“We have one more shot in the Coliseum. We’ve got one more chance to play UCLA, and that’s a big rivalry for us. I think from the locker room, these guys have gone through a lot this year. They have hung in there, and they’ve kept swinging," said head coach Lincoln Riley after the game Saturday night. "There is a lot of unity in this locker room, and I think they very much appreciate one last chance to play the game together, and that’s what you do. It’s a first game that we’ve played here at USC where we’re out of a championship race. You don’t intend on playing anymore like this, but games like this show the character of the program, so that’s what we get a chance to go put on display.”
The Helium Boys then answer your questions from Twitter and Instagram discussing among other things the qualities they believe USC should be seeking in their next defensive coordinator. Then during the overtime portion of the 'Take It or Leave It' section, Chris provides Shotgun with some potential podcast names for an upcoming addition to the Peristyle Podcast family of shows.
Finally, the podcast concludes with the Helium Boys giving their score predictions for the USC-UCLA matchup (12:30 p.m. PST) in the Coliseum to close out the Trojans' regular season.
