Coach Harvey Hyde breaks down the UNLV victory 9/2 Sep 02, 2018

Show notes

Coach Harvey Hyde breaks down what he saw in USC's 43-21 victory over UNLV to start the 2018 season. Special thanks to our sponsor ZipRecruiter. Try it for free at ziprecruiter.com/style We start off talking about the offense that Coach Hyde thinks looks the exact same as last year and he has real concerns with the lack of physicality in the red zone. When USC got down inside the 20, it was all quarterback JT Daniels and the receivers instead of the offensive line and the run game. Coach Hyde wants to see more smash mouth football when you get down close and he isn’t seeing that. We also had a question from Earl in West LA about the offensive line not looking ready for the opener for the third year in a row. Coach also brought up an interesting play where backup quarterback Matt Fink came into the game in the red zone for one play and took a three yard loss. Curtis in Moreno Valley called in about this play, saying that USC needs more room to run and pass when an athletic quarterback comes in because the defense sits on the read option play, looking for the QB to run. Tight ends and their lack of production was a discussed topic on the show and the coach thinks they are only used as blockers and they don’t really even block all that well. He thinks they need to be utilized more in the offense and we had a couple of questions from listeners that expressed the same concerns. Coach feels tight ends can be a great mismatch but you have to get them involved in the passing game to exploit it. Going 5-for-5 on field goals is great for the kicker, but not for the offense. USC really had a chance to set the tone early after a fumble recovery by Porter Gustin. But the drive stalled and the Trojans had to settle for a field goal. Tarik wrote in and wanted to know if Daniels can audible at the line of scrimmage. Coach Hyde thinks he should be able to, that is part of football to get out of bad plays. He said sometimes they would only call a formation and then have several plays ready to go just depending on what the defense would show. Matt in Woodland wanted to know if it is was some sort of record that USC had 26 players make tackles, from Cameron Smith and Isaiah Pola-Mao leading the way with 7 to several players who finished the night with one. We doubt it is a record, but there were a lot of guys getting in the game and a lot of them made plays. Coach also goes off during another question about special teams. It doesn’t look like things got any better from last year and that should be a concern going forward. John from Beaverton called in asking about the offensive line play and what sort of impact having a true freshman center had on the team. Coach Hyde thought Brett Neilon played very well, starting plays well and getting Daniels in a good position to run the play. Keith in NJ wants to know if coach is concerned if Daniels focuses too much on Amon-Ra St. Brown? Coach Hyde said the team shouldn’t worry about who catches what, just go out and win the game. Everyone has to do their part.

Family Feud Podcast - Ready for the season opener Aug 31, 2018

Show notes

Fall camp is over. The "mock game week" is over. Game week is here and the Trojans are ready to open the season. In the last week there have been plenty of developments around the teams as USC named a starting quarterback, unveiled its depth chart for the first game and made some subtractions from the roster. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return to the USCfootball.com studio with a new episode of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss all of that and more. They break down the positives and negatives from the week, seeing where the Trojans stand leading into the season opener against the UNLV Rebels on Saturday at 1 p.m. PST on the Pac-12 Networks. In this week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely and Shotgun discuss the position battles that were settled over the last week, including the two spots in the defensive secondary where redshirt freshman Greg Johnson's technique earned him praise from his position coach and defensive coordinator and the starting cornerback spot for Saturday's game. The dueling duo also look at how the quarterback competition shook out. What earned true freshman JT Daniels the nod over two more experienced quarterbacks and what can we expect from the Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei product in the opener? And even though Daniels won the competition, experience still played a factor in the quarterback depth chart. Shotgun looks at the Trojans' overall team health and where it stands compared to the first couple of weeks of fall camp. He presents a positive picture while Keely questions whether the Trojans are more injured than it seems, particularly with center Toa Lobendahn as Clay Helton has been dropping breadcrumbs over the last week. The duo then dives into the Agree/Disagree portion of the podcast where Keely peppers Shotgun with thought-provoking statements. Could Amon-Ra St. Brown finish second in receiving yards by the end of the season? Is there a logical fallacy between wanting USC to win big against UNLV and also wanting young players to get significant playing time? This episode of the Family Feud Podcast concludes with the questions that you emailed us (familyfeudpod@gmail.com), including Jackson in Virginia's series of over/under questions pertaining to the first game of the season and which Trojans might be the first to accomplish a number of feats this season. Keely and Shotgun are looking to feature your question on an upcoming episode of the Family Feud Podcast. Send your Stock Up/Stock Down contenders for us debate or provide us with an Agree/Disagree statement you want us to answer.

Family Feud Podcast - Mock Game Week Gets Testy Aug 24, 2018

Show notes

When the USC football team took the field this week for its "mock game week," they may have going through the schedule for a fake game, but the competition was for real. The Trojans put together two of their most fiery practices in back-to-back days leading to great battles throughout the duo of days at Howard Jones Field. Some even took place after the whistle as players got in a number of tussles and dustups amongst each other. Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling are back in the studio with a new episode of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss the intense week of action. They look at where the Trojans stand with only a closed mock game that Clay Helton said will feature about 40 plays on Saturday and two more competitive practices next week before USC opens the season against the UNLV Rebels next Saturday at 1 p.m. PST on the Pac-12 Networks. In this week's Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the notorious feudsters actually agree on one portion! (We were surprised too.) They look at the safety spot opposite Marvell Tell III and discuss where that position battle between Bubba Bolden, Isaiah Pola-Mao and Ykili Ross seems to be trending. And what affect Ross missing out on some potential snaps during Wednesday's practice could have on that competition. Keely and Shotgun also look into the quarterback competition and see where the needle has moved between JT Daniels, Jack Sears and Matt Fink. And what type of movement could there be depending on who wins the job? In their Agree/Disagree segment, Shotgun surprises Keely with a question on the spot leading to flustered frustration as she debates back and forth how USC's depth chart will look when it is unveiled. This episode of the Family Feud Podcast concludes with the questions that you emailed us (familyfeudpod@gmail.com), including debating the impact of John Baxter being the full-time special teams coordinator and whether or not his units will play any better this season after a rough 2017 that included USC having its fewest number of punt returns per game in school history. Did the poor special teams play last year also hold USC back from blowing out some opponents? They also dive into the Family Feud mailbag and answer your questions!
