With all of the expansion talk, the football season is only a month and a half away!

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the groundbreaking news that USC and UCLA will be moving to the Big Ten in 2024. The Trojans will move on from the Pac-12 after 100 years of membership, starting with the Pacific Coast Conference way back in 1922 all the way through the Pac-8, the Pac-10 and now the Pac-12. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on losing all of those traditions like playing Cal and Stanford every year, road trips to the Pacific Northwest and of course playing in the Rose Bowl against a rival from the Big Ten. He also talks about the upside for the Trojans in making this move and if he feels there could have been anything done to prevent USC from leaving, on the conference side and within the Trojans athletic department. The Rose Bowl is near and dear to the heart of Coach Harvey Hyde and he is on several committees for the Tournament of Roses including the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame committee. While he knows that college football is changing rapidly and the Rose Bowl will never be the same as we have grown to know it, he feels that a lot of the traditions can stay the same as the bowl moves from a Big Ten/Pac-12 matchup to one of the games of the College Football Playoff. Even last year the Rose Bowl still had the highest television rating of any bowl game, even higher than the two CFP semifinal games. Coach feels it can still be a very prestigious post season game, with different participants than what we have usually seen in the "Granddaddy of them all." As far as the travel goes for the USC football team and Olympic sports, Hyde thinks that it would challenging but nothing that couldn't be overcome. He thinks the Big Ten will expand further and could give USC more local teams in its division that could limit some of the travel to the Midwest. The Olympic sports could also structure things for road trips that last longer with accommodations for school being made while being on the trip. In his words, the money was too much to pass up and sometimes you have to give a little bit to get a lot back. Coach Hyde also thinks Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff has been doing a lot to try and keep things together, but it was simply too deep of a hole dug by his predecessor Larry Scott. He talks about some of the possibilities for expansion including adding some familiar Mountain West programs. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio to talk more about the huge news that both USC and UCLA will be leaving the Pac-12 conference and joining the Big Ten conference starting in 2024. This week they are joined by Fox Sports media personality and USC superfan Colin Cowherd to talk about this huge move and what it means for the Trojans going forward. It's been five days since the news broke and the entire college football world is still in shock, trying to make sense of this huge power shift and trying to figure out what will be the next domino to fall. Notre Dame appears to be the next Big Ten target and until the Irish make a move it is unlikely that the SEC of B1G will do any more raiding. But that won't stop the Pac-12, Big 12 and ACC from potentially making some moves, anything from raiding each other to merging together to forming a more formal (and written) alliance. There are already reports that Oregon and Washington want to join USC and UCLA in the Big Ten, but do the LA schools want that? The Big 12 is also reportedly having meetings with the Arizona and Mountain schools from the Pac-12 which would essentially be a death blow to the Conference of Champions. New Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff isn't going to sit idly by, but will there be any conference left for him to save? We shall see.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham is joined by a very special guest, USC's director of football sports performance Bennie Wylie talking about his role as the team's strength and conditioning coach and how the players have been performing this summer. Wylie comes to USC after spending four years with Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma, but he and Riley have a much longer history than that. Back in 2002 when Wylie was Texas Tech's head strength and conditioning coach, Riley was walk-on quarterback on the team (and former USC offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was the starting QB). Wylie talked about following Riley from Norman to Los Angeles and how that transition has been for him. Ryan also gets into a big hire for the Trojans, Mississippi State senior associate athletic director for football Dave Emerick who will now be USC's general manager/senior associate athletic director for football. Emerick has been head coach Mike Leach's right hand man for 18 years and according to Bruce Feldman, this is a huge hire for the Trojans.

Addison was the top undecided player from the NCAA Transfer Portal and ranked No. 5 overall. With the addition of Addison the Trojans remain the No. 1 transfer class for 2022, increasing their lead over No. 2 Mississippi.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the breaking news that the Pac-12 will no longer send the two division winners to the conference championship game and will now select the teams with the top-2 winning percentages to play for the title, regardless of which division they play in. That ruling could have a significant impact on Lincoln Riley and the Trojans considering Utah, a division rival with USC, returns most everyone from their Pac-12 championship team in 2022 and the Trojans face the Utes in Salt Lake City this season. Couple that with the North being much more wide open with half of the teams (Oregon, Washington and Washington State) having new head coaches and there is a very probable scenario that has Utah and USC processing the two best records in the Pac-12, allowing them to rematch in Las Vegas with the conference championship on the line. The guys also talk about the new CBS/247Sports poll that ranked the top college football coaches at the Power Five level, with USC's Lincoln Riley coming in at No. 4 behind Nick Saban, Kirby Smart and Dabo Swinney. They talk about the top-10 coaches and Chris tests Ryan to see how many of them he could name (he got 9 out of the 10 right) with Utah's Kyle Whittingham being the only other Pac-12 coach to make the top-10. The USC roster continues to get reworked with a couple more additions from the NCAA Transfer Portal, JUCO offensive lineman Cooper Lovelace and Washington defensive back Jacboe Covington. The guys talk about what those two players bring to the table and where they can fit in on the Trojans roster. They also discuss the biggest name yet to decide where he will transfer, former Pittsburgh wide receiver Jordan Addison. Will Addison head west and finish his college career at USC or head to Texas or Alabama? The guys debate it on the show.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to put a bow on USC's spring football game in front of a Coliseum spring game record crowd of over 33,000 that was shown live nationally on ESPN. Head coach Lincoln Riley wanted to showcase all of the work the players and coaches put in over the past five weeks and in our opinion they accomplished that objective. The entire atmosphere around the Coliseum was extremely welcoming with events for all of the fans in attendance and the product on the field was also intriguing, with two live 15-minute halves of football that gave the feeling of an actual game. The new players were finally introduced to Trojan fans (and the media) and everyone came away from the game with a better understanding of who those players are and how this team could potentially look when they kick off against Rice on September 3. Quarterback Caleb Williams came in with a lot of hype and he delivered, throwing a pair of touchdown passes to his former Oklahoma teammate Mario Williams. Former SEC linebackers Shane Lee and Romello Height also made positive impressions with their play on the field and leadership off of it. Former Pac-12 stars like former Oregon running back Travis Dye, former Stanford running back Austin Jones, former Colorado wide receiver Brenden Rice and former Washington receiver Terrell Bynum all looked good wearing Cardinal and Gold, giving the Trojans more weapons and more depth while draining some of the talent from the rest of the conference. The guys also dig into the pending NCAA Transfer Portal deadline of May 1, looking at some of the players Riley could potentially add before fall camp starts and how fast and furious things could get over the coming weeks and months. Ryan and Chris will be doing regular podcasts together going forward, so make sure you send in your questions addressed to them at [email protected].

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the Trojans first Coliseum spring practice of the Lincoln Riley era, giving all of the new coaches and players their first taste of football in USC's historic home. They discuss what Riley and the other coaches and players said about being able to practice in that environment and how Riley wants to see the Coliseum full for the spring game and of course when football season starts in September. The Trojans are now done with 10 of their allotted 15 spring practices and Riley wants to focus on the team finishing strong. "Losers coast, average programs coast," Riley said. There will be no coasting to the finish for the Trojans as they have one more practice and scrimmage in the Coliseum before the spring game in front of fans on April 23 at noon, shown live in ESPN. Tuesday's Coliseum practice also held live periods where the team scrimmaged. We were unable to watch those portions of practice but afterwards Riley said that it was back-and-forth between the offense and the defense with the offense getting the early jump, the defense finishing strong and overall he said the defense won the day. The guys also talk about a bunch of new names that have been gold-plated, given their Trojan logo helmet sticker for the work they have put in on the practice field and meeting rooms. Former USC quarterback J.T. Daniels has found a new home, reuniting with former USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell at West Virginia. Daniels had visited Oregon State which would have given him the opportunity to play against the Trojans in 2022, but with his commitment to WVU he will now get to play against the player that replaced him in 2019 following his knee injury, new Pitt quarterback Kedon Slovis. Such is the soap opera that is college football. With the loss of five-star OT Josh Conerly to Oregon, USC will now have to look to the NCAA Transfer Portal to shore up the offensive line after spring ball. On Wednesday another potential option entered the portal, Texas A&M lineman Derick Hunter who played for USC offensive line coach Josh Henson.

Coach Harvey Hyde returns with Ryan Abraham to breakdown where the Trojans are after three weeks of spring football practices under head coach Lincoln Riley. Coach Hyde likes what he has seen so far, especially the fact that the practices are much more physical and the overall mentality of the team is different. USC is now more than halfway through the spring with just 5 practices left before the spring game on April 23, something Coach Hyde is really looking forward to seeing. The guys also get into a little recruiting talking about the disappointing decision of five-star offensive tackle Josh Conerly picking the Ducks over the Trojans followed by some good news with a four-star linebacker commit from the class of 2024, Long Beach Poly (Calif.) linebacker Dylan Williams, committing to the Trojans.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the Trojans first scrimmage period of spring football, getting the lowdown from the offensive players and coaches after Tuesday's workout. The guys talk about how the offense came out stagnant early in the scrimmage before coming together and turning things around. Quarterback Caleb Williams broke off a long run and tight end Malcolm Epps caught a touchdown in the redzone. Speaking of Williams, he talked to the media on Tuesday and said that he was going to try and focus on taking off and running less, with an emphasis on staying in the pocket and finding the open man. He talked about running too much last season, but also said there were times where he stayed in the pocking waiting for a receiver to break free of the coverage when he should have cut his losses and just ran for whatever yards he could. Williams was also asked about his number, No. 13, that happens to be shared by wide receiver Michael Jackson. Neither player knew what the outcome will be, but we do know at least one of them will have to switch numbers before the season starts because you cannot have two players with the same number on the same side of the ball. The guys also talk about the tight end position after talking to tight ends coach Zach Hanson plus Jude Wolfe and Malcolm Epps following Tuesday's practice. As of now it looks like Epps has been holding down the 'Y' position, playing out wide, while Wolfe has handled the H-back spot (with Epps said he handled that spot like a grown man). We heard from Hanson about how those guys have progressed plus he gives his thoughts on the team coordinating special teams by committee. Quarterback Miller Moss had some interesting things to say about USC's offense this year compared to last year. He said the team currently has been performing well in the red zone as opposed to last year, dropping the nugget that they never really worked on red zone offense before. The guys also talk about the latest players to be "gold-plated" and what receiver Kyle Ford said about the receivers blocking more this spring.

Shotgun Spratling talks with 247Sports national recruiting editor Brandon Huffman about the upcoming decision and commitment of five-star Seattle (Wash.) Rainier Beach offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. Huffman talks about the type of prospect Conerly is, why he decided to put in a Crystal Ball for USC on the offensive lineman and why he won’t equate Conerly to a Shaun Cody or De’Anthony Thomas type of recruit for the Trojans no matter if Conerly chooses USC or another school.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the first open to the media full-pads spring football practice for the Trojans. After two practices in helmets and jerseys, the USC football team was in full pads for their Saturday (closed) and Tuesday (partially open) workouts. With offensive players and coaches available on Tuesday, the focus moved away from the skill players and honed in on the big guys up front, the offensive line. Head coach Lincoln Riley went in depth about his thoughts on the offensive line, a group with a lot of experience that still has a way to go to learn the new offensive system brought in by Riley and company. We also discuss what offensive line coach Josh Henson had to say about his unit, including who the current starting five players are, and we hear from several of those starters to get their thoughts on adjusting to a new offense. The guys also dive into some of the other topics from USC spring practice like Riley talking about adding double-digit players to the roster after spring football ends. USC currently has 76 players on scholarship and with more defections probable, it gives Riley more room to add players from the NCAA Transfer Portal. Ryan and Chris were each able to talk to a new assistant coach for the first time this spring, interim inside wide receivers coach Luke Huard and tight ends coach Zach Hanson. They also discuss some of the candid comments made by running back Darwin Barlow, comparing the complexity of last year's offensive system to this year's. Lastly the guys share an interesting tidbit they learned from talking to offensive lineman Courtland Ford, a new practice incentive program for USC football players. According to Ford, if a player performs well at practice he will get a "gold plate" for his helmet. We originally thought he meant some sort of helmet sticker system like other programs use, but apparently it is a type of enhancement to the current USC Trojan logo on the side of the player's helmet. The guys talk about breaking away from tradition here and if implementing a system like this would be a positive or a negative. Ryan and Chris will be doing regular podcasts together going forward, so make sure you send in your questions addressed to them at [email protected].
