The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino behind the microphones to break down and react to USC's stunning showing in a 42-28 win over No. 16 Louisville in the Holiday Bowl for its final game as a Pac-12 team.

The episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' as each Helium Boy gives his initial reactions to the Trojans' win over the Cardinals and the biggest things that stood out, including the momentum the program suddenly has heading into the offseason.

In the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, the podcasting duo discuss who/what impressed, including Miller Moss' outstanding play and how it changes the narrative for the remainder of the offseason. But Moss wasn't the only one impressing as USC's young receivers shined while veterans got to go out with accolades and a victory. The Helium Boys also look into what stocks took a hit, such as some 2024 concerns and opponent's yards after contact thanks to some terrific open-field tackling by the Trojans in San Diego

The Helium Boys also answer your questions from Twitter discussing why the coaching staff chose not to go all in on some freshmen in the bowl game, the best way to handle the quarterback position for the 2024 season and USC's NIL strategy among other topics. They also break down the merits of an elevated role for the Pop Tarts Bowl mascot in the grand bowl season scheme. Then during the overtime portion of the 'Take It or Leave It' section, Chris throws out a number of nicknames for Miller Moss to see what Shotgun thinks.
