In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio talking about the Trojans nearing the end of spring football 2026. The team was out on Howard Jones Field Tuesday and Wednesday morning for practices No. 12 and No. 13 respectively, and now there are only two workouts left coming up on Friday and Saturday mornings. The crew gives an update on the injury situation, with a few new names added to the list but still nothing serious with everyone expected to be able to participate in off-season workouts this summer. They also talk about some of the drills that were run during the open portions of practice this week, including a fun looking punt coverage drill where gunners tried to down the ball as close to the goal line as possible without letting the ball go into the end zone. Head coach Lincoln Riley spoke on Wednesday morning and they discuss what he said plus what stood out from the offensive players media scrums on Tuesday and the defensive players earlier this morning. They also discuss the new SP+ rankings that came out, with the Trojans coming in at No. 13 in the country and why there is optimism that USC could be ranked even higher with the improvements made on special teams.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's first non-winning week of the season after the Trojans suffered their first loss at Dedeaux Field in a top 20 matchup with Oregon State and then went across the country and came away with a conference road series win. They also talk with USC hitting coach Travis Jewett and preview a big opportunity for the Trojans as they travel to No. 1 UCLA after a midweek matchup with UC Santa Barbara. In the first half of the show, Jewett joins to discuss how the Trojans were able to bounce back from a poor showing in the midweek to put up 29 runs in a series win at Maryland and how the focus of the offense is on bunching together quality at bats to create two to three big innings per game. He also talks about the advice he gives to a hitter like Maddox Riske, who is putting the ball in play and often with hard contact but not seeing results, as well as his approach for proven veterans that fall into a funk and how a lineup is built. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' 2-2 week that included a poor start against Oregon State, a bounce back offensive performance to open the series at Maryland, a lackluster day of execution on Saturday and a dominant Sunday rubber match effort.. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and previewing a massive week for USC as it takes on UC Santa Barbara on Tuesday before a battle for city and Big Ten supremacy with an opportunity to make a huge statement against No. 1 UCLA.

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham Shotgun Spratling and intern Makena Arteaga are back in studio talking about the Trojans finishing up spring practice week three and the wave of commitments from some of the top high school football players in Southern California, including a recent Oregon flip for an elite offensive tackle. USC finished up spring practice No. 11 on Saturday in the Coliseum, completing the third of four weeks of spring football workouts. The crew gives their thoughts on what they have seen and heard out on Howard Jones Field with head coach Lincoln Riley and new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson getting the troops ready for the highly anticipated 2026 football season. Practices were more concentrated this spring, running for five weeks instead of six (with one week off for spring break), and four workouts per week instead of three. March is a critical month for the future of Trojan football with Patterson's new defensive scheme being implemented and 31 true freshmen getting in the mix. On the recruiting front general manager Chad Bowden and the squad are catching fire, trying to follow up on the No. 1 ranked high school class for 2026 with another impressive haul in 2027. Since spring football started dozens of prospects have continually visited campus to check out practice and so far three new commitments have been announced. It started with San Diego Cathedral Catholic four-star athlete Honor Fa'alave-Johnson followed by Mater Dei four-star defensive back Danny Lang and Saturday's big flip from the Ducks in Servite four-star offensive tackle Drew Fielder.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down another unblemished week of action for USC baseball as the Trojans went 5-0 with midweek wins over San Diego State and Cal State Bakersfield along with a sweep of Washington. They also talk with the catalyst of the win over Bakersfield, senior outfielder Jack Basseer, who hit a walk-off two-run homer to give USC the victory over the Roadrunners. Basseer discusses the walk-off winner as well as his journey to playing for his dream school and how he's been able to improve his game in his second season playing for USC. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' five-game week noting three positives, including Mason Edwards' continued dominance and the contributions of bench players and deep bullpen arms have helped USC start another win streak after their 19-0 start was stopped. They also try to find three negatives after five wins. (Some tasks are more difficult than others.) Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings -- moving all the way up to No. 5 in one top 25 ranking and earning a first-place vote in the coaches poll -- before previewing the beginning of the toughest two-week stretch of the season for the Trojans.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down another strong week of action for USC baseball despite the Trojans suffering their first loss of the season in the midst of Midwestern snowstorm. They also talk with the conductor of USC's elite production on the mound, pitching coach Sean Allen, about how his hurlers have been able to have so much success this season. Allen discusses how the Trojans attacked a stretch with eight games in nine days and how his pitchers continue to grow throughout the season with Grant Govel unleashing a slider in his last start and Mason Edwards' continued nastiness with a breaking ball he changed during the offseason. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' five-game week noting three positives, including the continued success of the starting pitching despite Edwards finally giving up his first run of the season. They also look at the unusual circumstances that contributed to the Trojans having their program-record-tying 19-game win streak snapped. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings -- making a big jump up to No. 13 in the D1Baseball top 25 -- and previewing another five-game week for Andy Stankiewicz's squad.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio breaking down the what they saw and heard from the first two weeks of USC spring football practice. Head coach Lincoln Riley and the Trojans held seven workouts over the first couple weeks of practice including four in full pads.

The crew was at all six practices that were open to the media, including a full practice viewing period on Friday before the team headed into spring break. They discuss everything they saw and heard from the workouts and give their take on how new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson has advanced the defense, who some of the standout players were, true freshmen and transfers that stood out and lots more.

The team was back out in full pads on Tuesday and Wednesday, with several offensive and defensives players speaking to the media after practice as well as head coach Lincoln Riley. The crew was at all of the open workouts and share their thoughts on which players were out or limited so far, some of the unique special teams drills we have seen, how some of the young players are coming along and what differences they have seen with new defensive coordinator Gary Patterson running things on that side of the ball. They also talk about the huge number of recruits that have been visiting all of the practices, some of the former players that have stopped by including wide receiver Marqise Lee and Thursday's USC Pro Day.

The USC Triple-Double Podcast -- the Peristyle's basketball-focused podcast -- returns with Shotgun Spratling and Ahmad Akkaoui filling in to break down the latest news and recent struggles of ⁠⁠USC⁠⁠ men's and women's basketball. The Trojan men finished the regular season dropping their final seven games after suffering a pair of humbling losses to West Coast foes, falling by 19 points at Washington after holding a three-point lead at halftime and then getting blown out by 21 against UCLA with way too much baby blue cheering in the Galen Center. On the women's side, USC dropped its fourth straight game with a disappointing single-game showing in the Big Ten Tournament, falling to Washington by 12 points after the Women of Troy scored just 20 points in the first half. Shotgun and Ahmad break down all the latest action and look at what it will take for the Trojan men to go on a miraculous run in the Big Ten Tournament, starting with a rematch of the Washington team that just beat them soundly in Seattle. The podcasting duo also take a look at where the USC women stand as they've slid closer to the bubble in recent weeks.

Shotgun Spratling and Kasey Kazliner return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down another unblemished weekend for USC baseball as they improve to 15-0 on the season after opening the Big Ten season with a sweep of Illinois! They also talk with junior left-handed pitcher Sax Matson about the expansion of his role and the team's hot start to the season. Matson discusses the development of his arsenal during his time at USC, including the addition of a cutter this season to a fastball that's climbed five miles per hour since his freshman year and a breaking ball that has devastated hitters this year. He also chats about Sean Allen's coaching and the mentality he takes to the mound where he hopes to visit at least 40 times this season to tie the program appearances record. Matson again played a critical part in the Trojans' pitching efforts that were again electric as Mason Edwards and Grant Govel helped USC throw back-to-back 4-0 shutouts with the staff allowing only three runs over the weekend. USC fell behind early Sunday, but rallied back to take a 5-3 win to bookend the week with two-run victories after also rallying to defeat UC Irvine, 6-4, during a midweek matchup. Shotgun and Kasey break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming double midweek matchups and the Trojans' first road trip out of Southern California this weekend when they travel to Nortwestern.
