Gottlieb also discusses USC's case for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, the significance of a Big Ten regular season championship, how her team can improve offensively and much more.

Shotgun and Connor then look at where both Trojan teams stand and glance forward at the upcoming matchups where there are three top 25 games this week.

Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to break down a much different start to the 2025 USC baseball season than last year's 0-5 start when the Trojans scored only seven runs. This year, USC wasted no time getting the offense going, scoring 10 runs in the opening frame of what would become a three-game weekend sweep of George Washington.

After scoring 15 runs in the season opener, the Trojans put on a power display the final two days, pummeling five home runs -- more in the opening weekend than they had in any 2024 weekend. Long Beach State transfer Adrian Lopez got the power party started with a first-inning grand slam Saturday. But the weekend's most important home run came Sunday when Brayden Dowd hit a go-ahead three-run dinger after USC fell in an early 5-0 deficit.

Shotgun and Jack break down all the action and look forward to the upcoming matchups during a five-game week after they talk with USC assistant coach Andy Jenkins about the Trojans’ strong opening weekend.

Jenkins also talks about USC’s catching situation as the Trojans replace Jacob Galloway this season and the vibe from the team after a much different start to this year.
