Peristyle Podcast - USC Trojan Football Discussion

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio taking a look at the challenging 2026 USC football schedule to see what it will take for this Trojan squad to make the College Football Playoffs for the very first time. Head coach Lincoln Riley is confident he has the right team in place to make a championship run, and we take a high-level look at the schedule with notes on each of USC's opponents. With the Fighting Irish absent, the path to the playoffs should be easier, but USC is still facing off against three of the projected top-5 teams in the country and will need to win at least one of those games to make the postseason tournament. Defending national champion Indiana will be a tough road test and uber-talented Oregon and Ohio State both visit the Coliseum. If the Trojans can come out on top of at least one of the big three and then take care of business in the rest of the games, a berth in the playoffs would be almost guaranteed. The guys also talk about information on USC football tickets for the 2026 season, the news coming out of SEC spring meetings including the standoff with the Big Ten on expanding the college football playoffs plus listener questions.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down the news that USC baseball is back in the NCAA tournament for the second straight year after the Trojans were selected as an at-large team in the College Station Regional in Texas. USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz joins the show to talk about the Trojans making it to back-to-back regionals for the first time since 2001-2002, his reaction to not being a regional host despite a No. 9 RPI as well as what the Trojans have to do better to take the next step and make it to a super regional after being in a regional final last year. Stankiewicz also discusses how the Trojan coaching staff will try to use its Texas connections to prepare scouting reports and mentions the possibility of potentially 'pitching off' and saving Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Mason Edwards for a potential 1-0 matchup with host Texas A&M. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey discuss the progression of the USC program making back-to-back regionals after only one in the previous two decades and take a look back at the action from the Big Ten Tournament where the Trojans went 1-1, losing a heartbreaking walk-off to rival UCLA in the tournament semifinals. They note three positives, including Augie Lopez's potential re-emergence and showing they are capable of beating the best teams in the nation. They also look at USC's struggles leaving men on base and some defensive struggles. The podcasting duo close out the show previewing each of the teams that will also be in the College Station Regional alongside USC with host Texas A&M, No. 3-seed Texas State and four-seed Lamar, breaking down the potential starting pitchers the Trojans could face in the first two matchups.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio discussing the news that has come out of the Big Ten's spring meetings in Rancho Palos Verdes, at the beautiful Terranea Resort. USC football head coach Lincoln Riley likely had the shortest commute to the meetings, and he ended up speaking to Brandon Marcello about his confidence in the team they have put together for the 2026 season. With some big wins last season over Michigan, Iowa and Nebraska, 15 returning starters, the No. 1 high school recruiting class and the hiring of Hall of Fame coach Gary Patterson to run the defense, Riley feels this Trojan squad is primed for an explosion. With athletic directors, head coaches and Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti all in attendance at Terranea, there was plenty of college football big-picture talk, from expanding the College Football Playoffs to College Sports Commission's oversight of player compensation to the Big Ten breaking away and creating its on governance model. The guys give their thoughts on what went down at the Big Ten meetings and what it could mean for the USC football program.

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's final week of the regular season, a hard-fought super-regional-esque series at No. 16 Oregon. They also talk with USC southpaw ace Mason Edwards about his incredible season that earned him Big Ten Pitcher of the Year honors Tuesday. Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' series loss in Eugene where every game was decided by a run, including two games going into extra innings with USC winning the opener 2-1 in 1 1 innings, dropping the middle game 4-3 and then losing a heartbreaker 6-5 in 14 innings on a walk-off two-out suicide squeeze. Shotgun and Kasey also take a look at where the Trojans stands in the rankings and key resume metrics, including looking at their regional host potential (or lack thereof). They also preview the Big Ten Tournament and the teams USC could potentially face after locking up the No. 4 seed and a bye to the single-elimination portion of the tourney. To close out the show, Edwards joins the podcast to talk about what he did over the offseason to take such a giant leap from contributor to one of the best pitchers in the nation. He discusses how he reworked his breaking ball and how he's able to now manipulate it into multiple offerings. Edwards also chats about the program build the Trojans have undergone under head coach Andy Stankiewicz, the relationship he has with USC pitching coach Sean Allen and why he's confident the men of Troy can go on a run in the postseason.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing the latest news and notes around the USC football program and college football in general. With spring football in the rearview mirror we are keeping tabs on how the Trojans are navigating the off-season and how the sport we all love makes tweaks to the rules and post-season. Last week the American Football Coaches Association voted to expand the college football playoffs along with a few other modifications to the college football calendar. Their proposal would double the size of the CFP bracket from 12 to 24 teams and eliminate the conference championship games. It would also condense the regular season with only one bye week, preserve the Army/Navy game and make sure the season ends by the second week in January. The crew also talks about former USC head coach Pete Carroll coaching in the Polynesian Bowl against former Texas head coach Mack Brown, the "five to play five" proposal in college football, expanding the NCAA basketball tournament to 76 teams and former Trojan safety Will Harris getting promoted in Miami to the secondary coach and passing game coordinator.

They also talk with USC hitting coach Travis Jewett about the team's offensive production, which has seen an uptick in driving the baseball, knocking 19 extra-base hits over the weekend in a sweep of Rutgers. Jewett joins the first half of the show to discuss how USC's offense continues to progress with hitters like Augie Lopez and Isaac Cadena really tapping into their power. (The duo has combined for 16 home runs since the start of April.) He discusses the approach USC's hitters are taking to the plate and why it may not be sexy, but it's good to take free base on balls. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' 3-1 week that began with a disappointing offensive effort at UC Irvine before USC broke loose against Rutgers, notching a pair of run-rule victories to close out the weekend after Mason Edwards was nearly unhittable once again Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and preview a non-conference week for USC as it takes on Cal State Fullerton Tuesday before a three-game series against Nevada that will begin a day early on Thursday.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio discussing this weekend's huge NFL Draft and the top-rated USC prospects that are hoping to hear their name called. They also take a crack at ranking each of the Trojan football position groups by level of expectations heading into the season following what we learned about the team in the spring. Kicking things off with our draft coverage, all eyes will be on wide receiver Makai Lemon will is expected to go in the top-half of the first round, likely as the second or third wide receiver off the board. Lemon will very likely be USC's only first round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and could be the only Trojan picks in the first two days of the draft. Safeties Kamari Ramsey and Bishop Fitzgerald, wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane, tight end Lake McRee and linebacker Eric Gentry are other former USC players that are the most likely to get picked up in the later rounds. They finish off the show talking about the 2026 bowl tie-ins sticking with the old conference alignment (Pac-12) and answering listener questions from our live chat, emails and The Peristyle message board.

Shotgun also discusses whether USC's hosting chances are officially over.
