If USC Builds It The Recruits Will Come
October 27, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBBuilding a national championship team takes a certain type of roster in today's college game. The transfer portal gives coaching staff a quick fix, but does the portal help build a locker room and a championship culture? The first step to winning a national championship is winning the conference. USC hasn't done that since 2017. The Trojans have so many good players led by Caleb Williams. The 2nd best player on the roster is a freshman named Zachariah Branch. Lincoln Riley needs to do two t...
Timing Is Everything For USC
October 26, 2023 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MBWhen it's time to decide, choosing when is a big part of the calculation. It doesn't matter what the decision involves, choosing when matters the most. Lincoln Riley has 4 more regular season games left plus a post a season left to coach with his current staff. But if changes are going to be made at the end of November, should the same decision be made at the end of October? I believe a decision has already been made regarding the defensive coordinator situation. If USC wants to make its of...
The USC Season Is Counting Down
October 25, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBUSC fans aren't very patient. If there isn't a championship to play for the support for the team declines, and following two consecutive losses, the bandwagon is unloading. The Trojans still have four regular-season games left to play, and a potential conference championship if they win out. Will the fan support hang for the remainder of the season or will they start planning for 2024? There is mystery and intrigue surrounding the USC football program. Head Coach Lincoln Riley has missed tw...

USC Getting Some "Trained-Eyes" Feedback
October 24, 2023 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MBIt's one thing when the "Trojan Haters" talk about USC out of jealousy and/or envy. But when the feedback includes empathy, then you know there is something wrong with certain aspects of the football team. Some "trained" eyes are offering their view of things and the truth can be painful. I break down what former players and Sooner faithful think of what they're seeing in the show's first segment. In Segment 2, I try and figure out what's going on with USC's offense. Lincoln Riley usually t...
USC Football Has Certain Expectations
October 23, 2023 10:00 - 35 minutes - 32.9 MBWhether you're a player or a coach, there are certain expectations that come with the job description. It's understood that championships are the narrative, and it doesn't matter who starts the discussion. In the first segment, I dissect Coach Lincoln Riley's postgame quotes after the Trojans' 2023 championship hopes took a hit. In the show's second segment, I talk about the defense and the lack of trust despite Alex Grinch asking his players to trust the scheme and their responsibilities. ...
INSTANT REACTION: USC Has Coaching Issues In It's Loss To Utah
October 22, 2023 09:10 - 29 minutes - 27 MBThe Trojans are riding a 2-game losing streak in 2023 following their 34-32 loss at home to the Utah Utes. USC's once No. 1 scoring offense has been neutered and Lincoln Riley's playcalling and clock management have a lot to do with the offense's inability to move the ball consistently. I have plenty to say on this Instant Reaction show! #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #fightingirish #beattheirish #FOOTBALL #arizona #wildcats #instantreaction #ncaafoot ball #big10 #big10football #uclafootball #n...

Is USC Arrogant Or Confident
October 20, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBIt's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Depending on who is watching it's a matter of perspective. USC football and its fans are often confused with being arrogant, but for Trojan fans comes from a place of confidence. This week Coach Riley and Caleb Williams have been under the microscope with their comments. During the show's 2nd segment, I answer some of the questions and comments from Locked On USC's viewers, and there were some unique takes. Two things are clear, USC and col...
There Will Be No Excuse For USC
October 19, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBWhen USC and Utah get together on Saturday, it's going to mark the end of a short, albeit competitive Pac-12 relationship. The Trojans have a 9-2 advantage in Los Angeles and are looking to snap a 3-game losing streak to Utah. Normally USC's defense isn't seen as having an advantage, but Utah is missing a lot of key players on offense. Does that mean USC has no excuse for a 4th loss in a row? I have a practice report, however, Lincoln Riley is making things challenging for the media. I offe...
IS USC Making Changes?
October 18, 2023 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBFollowing Tuesday's practice leading up to the game against Utah, Coach Lincoln Riley was asked to offer some solutions to the team's offensive inconsistencies. This week, the staff is evaluating things, while mentioning that it's not just one thing or one player, however, they are looking at some different personnel options. The Trojans had a tough time offensively against Notre Dame, and the Utah Utes have a higher-ranked defense than the Irish. Coach Riley said he likes playing great def...
USC Fans Get Back On Traveler
October 17, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MBWhen USC and Notre Dame play the game's result solicits emotional responses. This year Trojan fans suffered while their team failed to win the game which had significant implications on this season's team goals. Yes, USC's playoff chances got slimmer. However, they are still undefeated in the conference and can start making amends this weekend when Utah shows up. It's up to the fans to shake it off because the team has to play this Saturday so the fans might as well show up too! I have anot...
USC Needs To Fix Stuff
October 16, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBFollowing USC's disastrous loss to Notre Dame, Lincoln Riley said they have stuff to fix and they will fight like hell to fix it. Except Riley keeps saying the same thing each week. It's time to walk the walk! There were not a lot of positives from the game in South Bend but I found a few and talked about each of them. Hindsight is 20/20 and Lincoln Riley doesn't get the same benefits that I or Trojan fans get. #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #fightingirish #beattheirish #FOOTBALL #arizona #wi...
Instant ReactionTrojans Lose To Notre Dame: USC What Was That?!!?
October 16, 2023 03:34 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MBThere's no way to spin it, USC went into their biggest game of the season, and rivalry game against Notre Dame, and looked unprepared. Lincoln Riley's offense struggled from the top with play calling and poor clock management, to Caleb Williams's 3-interception 1st half performance that put a struggling Trojans defense with the backs against the wall on short fields. Despite getting little to no help from its offense or special teams, I am comfortable saying the defense played its best and ...

Making USC's Defense Simple Is Better
October 13, 2023 10:00 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBUSC fans aren't the only people making suggestions about their defense. It became a national discussion just ahead of the Trojans game against the Fighting Irish. In the first segment, I talk about the defense and other coach's opinions who believe the defense can be good if made more simple. The weather may play a role in the game because the forecast is rain and a cold night. I talk about the team's practice preparation and if it is enough. Friday's Rant needs and wants victory this week...
BEAT THE IRISH!!!
October 12, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.6 MBTrojans fans need three words to tell people what time it is, "Beat The Irish!" When you think about it, saying "Beat The Irish" is the perfect ending to any sentence or personal greeting during Rivalry Week. On Saturday USC and Notre Dame will meet for the 94th time in the greatest intersectional rivalry in college football, and it will match strength vs. strength. The Trojans who score 51 points per game have the best offense in college football while the Fighting Irish give up only 16 poi...
Is USC The Hunter Or The Hunted
October 11, 2023 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBThe Trojans are one of college football's biggest games whenever they play. Which also means they're the hunted. But with 11 national championships, 8 Heismans, and too-many-to-count accolades, USC is also the Hunter. If Lincoln Riley's team wants to be considered a championship-level team, then they'll have to have the right type of mentality. Coach Riley believes everyone in the media, in the general sense, has made up their minds. Following practice USC's head coach made a passionate sta...
Let's Talk About The USC Offense
October 10, 2023 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.2 MBIt's not often when Lincoln Riley gets questioned about his offense or his playcalling. But following USC's come-from-behind triple-OT victory at home, the questions are coming. Every week Coach Riley joins the Trojans Live radio show, and this week he broke down USC's last offensive sequence in regulation. I offer an opinion as well. In the show's 2nd segment, I look at some of the numbers from the last week's game and what they mean going forward. I have no grades to offer, although Pro F...
The 6-0 Trojans Need To Show More
October 09, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBUSC has reached 6-0 for the 2nd straight season. Last year they hit the road for a game against Utah for game No.7 and this year the Trojans' lucky game number 7 is in South Bend against the Fighting Irish. After the way USC has won its last three contests, many wonder if the "expectation" button needs to be reset. The Trojans' defense has received a lot of criticism and most of it is deserved. Big leads are being given up and they're coming as a result of the secondary's inconsistent play ...
Sunday Reaction: USC Escapes With An OT Win
October 08, 2023 22:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBThe Trojans improved 6-0 on their season and now things start to get tougher. USC's resolve was tested a week sooner than anticipated though when the Trojans struggled to find a way to win in 3OT 43-41 at home. In the show's 2nd segment, I talk about how the rest of the year will be a rollercoaster ride unless the defense, and to a lesser extent, the offense can play more consistently. I asked Lincoln Riley about his offense's identity. Everyone knows that Caleb Williams is the leader on o...

USC Owns Arizona
October 06, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBUSC and Arizona will no longer be conference opponents after they meet on Saturday night at the Coliseum. The Trojans have owned the series with a 38-8 record, which includes winning 19 of the last 21 meetings and 10 in a row vs. the Wildcats. There aren't too many memories that stick out in this series, although there have been some impact games on both sides of the ball for the Trojans. In the 2nd segment, I give the viewers a chance to express their thoughts on how they're feeling as I ...
[USC's Honeymoon Is Over
October 05, 2023 10:00 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MBIs everyone's expectations too high and the excitement gone because the defense has let the relationship down? Is the honeymoon over? The Trojans' next 3-game stretch can either rejuvenate the fans' excitement with their performance or temper its enthusiasm even more. Despite being undefeated, anything less than 2-1 over the next 3 games will put a damper on USC fan's relationships and their head coach. The Trojans on defense can steal some turnovers and bring extra gifts, which could be th...
Don't Ignore The USC Run Game
October 04, 2023 10:00 - 33 minutes - 31.1 MBAfter reviewing the game Lincoln Riley admitted that that he didn’t call the run game very well. The film session also revealed that the run game was disjointed all game and that it was a team effort. From coaching to the players just not executing in synchronization. The Arizona Wildcats are the Trojans' next opponent this week at the Coliseum. USC has dominated the series 37-8, all-time, including winning the last 10 meetings and 19 of the last 21. If the Trojans want to make it 11 in a r...

USC's Grade Is "Be" Better
October 03, 2023 10:00 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBThe work that USC's team turned in against Colorado was given back as "ungradeable" and a simple message. USC's grade is "BE" better. The players on the field need to perform better and Lincoln Riley needs to make sure he's using his rotation and time wisely. The Trojans numbers are eye-popping. Some of them could generate visceral reactions. Like Colorado running for nearly 200 yards, when they had only 223 rushing yards TOTAL through 4 games. Caleb Williams has jaw-dropping TD numbers tha...

Don't Worry USC Is 5-0!
October 02, 2023 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.2 MBThe Trojans are 5-0 and there are signs that improvements are needed. So why are Trojan fans beginning to panic, and should they be? In the show's first segment, I talk about some of the team's signs that need to be addressed to ease the concern(s). Part of the reason for some are questioning USC's championship aspirations is due to their development on a weekly basis. It's not quite as clear to the untrained eyes, but there are areas that have improved from last season. And for the 2nd we...
INSTANT REACTION: USC Defeats Colorado 48-41
October 01, 2023 01:52 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBInstant reaction! The Trojans escaped with another road win when they beat Colorado 48-41. At one point USC held a 41-14 lead with 6:00 minutes to play in the 3rd quarter before they held on to win. They needed to recover an onside kick to secure the win. #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #FOOTBALL #instantreaction #ncaafoot ball #big10 #big10football #uclafootball #notredamefootball #oregonducks #recruiting #michiganfootball #wolverines #spartans #sanjosestate #reggiebush #heisman #coloradobuff...

USC Is Looking To Go 17-0
September 29, 2023 10:00 - 32 minutes - 30.2 MBThe Trojans' roster is loaded with players who can "scare" opponents with their abilities on the field, starting with Caleb Williams and Zachariah Branch. The Colorado Buffaloes have a few players with the ability to hurt their opponents, but the one with the scariest skills could be their smallest player. Coach Prime Time has an all-purpose back named Dylan Edwards who can make life difficult for the USC defense. I have a few Yay or Nay game predictions to talk about that will make a diffe...
USC's Negatives Are Positive
September 28, 2023 10:00 - 27 minutes - 25.3 MBWhen USC and Colorado match up this Saturday each team will have some advantages they hope to use. The Buffaloes rely on QB Shadeur Sanders to lead the offense with a few dynamic WRs. However, the Trojans lead the nation in sacks while Colorado's offensive line has difficulty protecting Sanders. Can the Colorado WRs exploit the Trojans's CBs? Anytime the subject of USC's defense is talked about, it brings up negative energy. The Trojans' defense creates its own negativity which is a positiv...
USC Is Ready For Prime Time
September 27, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBThe first battle for the conference's best quarterback is going to happen when Colorado's Shadeur Sanders hosts Caleb Williams and the Trojans. The Buffaloes passing game is among the best in the country, however, their non-existent run game could make this a perfect opportunity for the Trojans defense to make statement. Statistically, USC put up some great numbers against ASU on both sides of the ball. But did the results match the stats? What type of results are acceptable compared to the...
The USC vs ASU Report Card
September 26, 2023 16:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBThe grading system went down with my internet and cell signal, but my grades from USC's game against ASU finally arrived. The offense and defense need to do better and play a complete game. On offense the play calling was stubborn, too many penalties, and not enough points on the board despite playing on the road. Defensively, the TROJANS HAVE to tackle better regardless of the scheme being employed by Alex Grinch. The new AP Poll released penalized the Trojans for winning on the road bec...
USC Got A Road Win Wake Up Call
September 25, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28.2 MBThe Trojans are 4-0 but the latest victory wasn't impressive, and the voters agreed. So despite Caleb Williams and the offense scoring 42 points on the road in a conference game, the Trojans still fell in the polls. In today's game era of college football how you win matters when you play for USC. Some of USC's defensive struggles from 2022 showed up on the road and this has some people concerned, that regardless of the personnel, Alex Grinch's scheme still puts players in a position to fai...
USC Escapes With A 42-28 Road Win
September 24, 2023 12:00 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MBThe USC football team improved to 4-0 after winning on the road over an inferior Arizona St. team 42-28. It wasn't pretty, however, the Trojans' defense eventually did enough in the 4th quarter to wear down the ASU offense and found a few more chinks in the Trojans' defense. It wasn't all bad, there was some good mixed in with the ugly, but overall, USC was fortunate to escape. #usc #uscfootball #Trojans #FOOTBALL #asu #sundevils #ncaafoot ball #big10 #big10football #ohiostate #buckeyesfoo...

USC Needs To Send A Message
September 22, 2023 10:00 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBUSC's first goal when they go on the road is to get a win and then continue to improve for the next game. Beyond that what happens is up to the players on the field, and with how big of a message he wants to send. Each position group can make the message clear with their production. The transfer portal has changed the way roster management is handled. It also affects how some redshirt decisions are made. There aren't too many redshirt candidates on USC's roster, and I look at a list of pote...
USC Can't Lose To ASU
September 21, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 26.9 MBThe Trojans are 32-point favorites on the road over the Arizona St. Sun Devils. And I'm not sure if that's enough points. In other words, USC can't lose to ASU. Head coach Kenny Dillingham is taking over the play-calling duties in an attempt to help the Sun Devils' struggling offense that failed to score a point in their last home game. The show's second segment is a recruiting update on where USC stands with its top targets. There are some positive things to look forward to, as well as whe...
The USC Linebackers Had A Real Talk
September 20, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBOn the Tuesday episode of Locked USC, I talked about embracing the role of the villain and the linebacker's role. Following the Trojans Tuesday afternoon practice, Mason Cobb explained why he likes playing on the road as a villain more than playing at home. Eric Gentry told the media that the linebackers "had a real talk," and I broke it down. USC may not have played a game last weekend. However, they still received a favorable grade from Pro Football Focus. The Trojans have shown signific...
USC Needs To Embrace The Villain Role
September 19, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBWhen USC hits the road Lincoln Riley said that the team needs to embrace the role of playing the villain. To understand what it takes to play in a hostile environment and how to handle the situation. Which villain role do the Trojans best identify with? Monday night Coach Riley talked about how competitive his team's bye week practices were, and the players who are still battling for playing time. Building depth was huge during the offseason, but with 9 straight weeks of games until the nex...
USC Deserves Some No. 1 Votes
September 18, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 29 MBThe USC Trojans remained No.5 in the latest AP Poll coming out of the bye week. And they ended up looking better doing nothing during a weekend of ugly sloppy football. Georgia & Michigan remained No.1 & No.2 respectively, however, from the top to No.5, each team has flaws. So why not give USC some No. 1 consideration? Coming out of the bye week the Trojans will travel to Tempe for the first of consecutive road games. The Sun Devils are terrible on offense, and their defense is keeping them...

The USC Bye Week Is All Business
September 15, 2023 10:00 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBThe Trojans are on the first of their two scheduled bye weeks, but that doesn't mean the staff isn't putting in extra time. The staff is hitting the road this weekend and jumping on the recruiting trail, and I have a recruiting update on USC's target list. Lincoln Riley and the assistants are all business trying to make next year's roster better by doing some road recruiting. But they're also using the bye week to improve the team for its first road test next week in Tempe. I talk about som...
USC Is Full Of Surprises
September 14, 2023 07:03 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBUSC opens its season 3-0 is surprising to no one, nor is the Trojans' offensive production. But the Trojans' defense is surprising some people from a national perspective at how much better they are early in the season. Other early surprises include a red-shirt year by a top offensive player. Everyone knows how good the Trojans offense is with Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley. But when I show just how good by the numbers, you will be even more impressed! Williams is already ahead of last se...
Understanding The USC Defense
September 13, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBTrojans' defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has been pretty outspoken since USC's 56-10 victory over Stanford. On Monday he spoke on the Trojans Live Radio Show and he explained the defensive philosophy. On Tuesday the coach explained how the squad is learning USC's defense with on-the-job training with a lot of different variables involved. There are 4 teams ranked ahead of No. 5 USC. I want to know which ones are actually better. Georgia gets the benefit of the doubt, but what about, Michi...
USC's Defense Is Coming Hard!
September 12, 2023 10:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWhen Caleb Williams plays QB, USC's offense gets all the headlines and usually steals the highlight show. Against Stanford, Williams and the offense were fantastic receiving high marks on their report card. However, the Trojans' defense is coming after it too and they've raised their grades significantly since the start of the season. Even the defensive coordinator is earning a high grade. I also take a look inside some numbers that put this USC team on a pace to pass the 2005 Trojans squa...
