The Helium Boys Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino reuniting to react to USC's thoroughly dominant 56-10 blowout of Stanford that moves the Trojans to 3-0 on the season. The Helium Boys discuss the notable takeaways from the blowout win and the conclusion, for all intents and purposes for now at least, of a nearly 120-year rivalry.

Shotgun and Chris open with the 'Two-Minute Drill' giving their initial reactions to the Trojans' destruction of the Cardinal and then break down the victory with Stock Up/Stock Down, discussing who impressed, including Bear Alexander's continued mauling in the interior of the defensive line and pressure off the edges helping to create multiple turnovers for a defense that had only one entering its third game. The boys also take a look at the bigger themes that are being developed like the lightning strikes that are popping off across the Coliseum every time the Trojans take the field. They also dive into who and what saw their stock take a dip.

The Helium Boys also preview what the Trojans will do with their bye week and what should be the primary focuses with an open weekend so early in the season.

A podcast of the people, the Helium Boys also answer your USC mailbag questions about topics spanning from Zachariah Branch's total touchdown total and what it would take for him to be a Heisman finalist to who have been the biggest defensive playmakers through the first quarter of the season. We also answer several movie-related questions, including what players on the current USC roster embody each of the Avenger superheroes.

Finally, the podcast concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some "Take It or Leave It" prompts.
