Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys are back to break down the Trojans becoming bowl eligible after a come-from-behind 19-13 victory over UCLA at the Rose Bowl that pushes USC back above .500 at 6-5. They also look forward, giving their thoughts on another rivalry matchup as the Trojans take on No. 5 Notre Dame Saturday in the Coliseum

The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that features Shotgun going stream of consciousness after Chris uses his 'Two-Minute Drill' to discuss the grind this season has been and offer a correction and apology for a mistake he made last year.

Chris and Shotgun then dive into their Stock Up/Stock Down segment looking at the players and themes that saw their stock rise or dip this week. Fourth-down stops are discussed after USC had three, including on each of the final two UCLA offensive drives. Makai Lemon and his dynamic efforts as a receiver, returner and even passer very obviously make the list as do the continued efforts of Trojan punter Eddie Czaplicki. Shotgun also brings up the major improvements in USC's tackling under the first-year defensive staff. On the flip side, the Trojans' saw issues in the red zone, having to settle for field goals three times after being inside the UCLA 5-yard line.

After a break, the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing Duce Robinson's usage and the possibility of Lincoln Riley relinquishing offensive coordinator duties. There are also several Thanksgiving-related questions. The episode concludes with Chris quizzing Shotgun with some Take It or Leave Its about the Trojans, the state of Indiana and then Thanksgiving preparation.
