Family Feud Podcast: Changing the momentum Sep 28, 2018

Show notes

USC bounced back from two straight losses to get a 39-36 win over Washington State. It wasn't pretty and was far from perfect, but the Trojans kept their perfect record at home under head coach Clay Helton. They did it by changing the narrative. After back-to-back games seeing the momentum snowball against them, the Trojans showed some mental fortitude and responded multiple times to attempts by Washington State to take control of the game. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return with the latest edition of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss what went right for USC and where the Trojans can still make improvements as they prepare for a trip to the desert to take on Khalil Tate and Arizona on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. PST on ESPN2. In this week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely and Shotgun both give some props to freshman safety Talanoa Hufanga for stepping in and making an impact immediately...as in second defensive play of the game. They also agree that there was a noticeable difference in the chemistry between JT Daniels and his veteran receivers as the USC offense continues to evolve. Shotgun also makes the unpopular choice to place two much-maligned units in his stock up. He argues that both the offensive line and special teams improved and agrees with Clay Helton that the "offensive line took a step forward." Stock Down is scattered around the team as there are still some team issues that have to be addressed as well as defensive specific concerns and a decline in the playing time and production of USC running back Aca'Cedric Ware. But one interesting note Keely and Shotgun saw in practice is that USC is actively attacking some of the issues it had from the week before rather than continuing to go with the same routine they have previously had. (Audience submissions also make the cut for Stock Up/Stock Down this week.) In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, Shotgun hears a familiar sound on the sidelines and talks about how the players and coaches reacted to the near touchdown by Michael Pittman Jr. just before halftime and the subsequent review. He also brings up a new sideline alignment the Trojans have implemented while Keely talks about Johnny Nansen's emphasis on contact in practice. The USCfootball.com duo talk about redshirting and playing time for young players in the Agree/Disagree segment. They debate how much Arizona will attack with Tate's legs this week and discuss the importance of each defender doing his assignment rather than trying to be a hero.

Family Feud Podcast: USC takes on Washington State Sep 21, 2018

Show notes

After hitting the road for a second week in a row, Shotgun Spratling and Keely Eure are back in the studio for another episode of the Family Feud Podcast. This week, the duo breaks down what went wrong in Austin and previews what the Trojans need to do in order to get a victory Friday. First off, Shotgun relives the exhaustion of traveling to Austin with the added difficulty of a short week. If the duo is this tired from USC's schedule, how will the fatigue factor affect the Trojans? Could the shortened schedule add a level of difficulty to Friday's matchup? Along the same lines, Keely and Shotgun debate head coach Clay Helton's decision for USC to practice only in shells this week. Is it necessary to practice in full pads during a short week? Will the lack of physicality rear its head on gameday? In this week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely and Shotgun have to work diligently to find Stock Up candidates following the lackluster showing the Trojans produced in Texas. They both agree that true freshman Amon-Ra St. Brown was a bright spot from the loss. The wide receiver had a career night that has his stock trending upwards. Keely adds a player to the Stock Up column even though he didn't have the best performance in Austin, while Shotgun highlights a solid performance by true freshman quarterback JT Daniels. It was much less difficult to find Stock Down candidates after a woeful performance from multiple USC units. The Trojans were not consistent enough to sustain drives, which bogged down repeatedly between the 30- and 50-yard line. A lot of the concern falls on the offensive line, who never seemed to be able to put together five stellar blocks on the same play and struggled with the Longhorns' zone pressures. Keely and Shotgun wonder if it's possible for USC to have a quick on the offensive line considering that the Trojans will see some of the same stunts and pressure from the Cougars front seven. In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, Keely gives her take on football in the state of Texas and what the atmosphere was like in the Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium. Shotgun and Keely also share their thoughts on how practice went this week and if there were any notable changes. The USCfootball.com duo talk about coaching and offensive line play in the 'Agree/Disagree' section of the podcast, wondering aloud the impact the offensive line has and will have on the team this year, with Shotgun believing it is the most crucial element to the season. Keely and Shotgun also discuss what could happen if USC loses on Friday. Could the wheels start to come off for the Trojans? The Family Feud Podcast ends this week with questions you emailed us (familyfeudpod@gmail.com), including Josh from the Mojave Desert's take on Clay Helton.
