Former USC tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe was back on campus ahead of USC's matchup again Washington, and he joined Victory Podcast host Keely Eure in the studio to catch up.

Daniel shares the wild story of how a basketball player who'd never played football became a Trojan, what was said in the players only meeting that flipped USC's 2016 season after a 1-3 start, and why the upset of No. 4 Washington in Seattle was the moment the team knew it was for real. He also looks back on the 2017 Rose Bowl, talks Coach Trumain Carroll, breaks down true freshman tight end Mark Bowman, and offers his advice for this year's team at a turning point in the season.

Keely is back! After being out sick, USC team reporter Keely Eure returns with a recap of USC's 25-21 win over Washington, and she's joined by NBC Sports broadcaster Noah Eagle, who has called three USC games this season and will be in the booth again for the Penn State Whiteout.

Noah breaks down why Coach Gary Patterson called the defense from the booth, how the pass rush finally broke through against Demond Williams Jr., why the offense missed Mark Bowman so much, and his favorite moment of the night: Jahkeem Stewart rumbling into the end zone.

Marqise Lee joins Keely Eure on the Victory Podcast to talk USC through two games and the work he's doing with Trojan student-athletes on and off the field.

The former Trojan receiver talks about life on the other side of the camera at Trojan Live and the Trojan Tailgate Show, why he came back for his master's in sports administration and leadership, and what it's been like serving as tunnel captain in front of his daughters. He gets into mentoring the young receiver room, why he's intentionally given Makai Lemon space during his rookie year, and the one trait every winning team he's played on has shared.

Plus his read on the Trojans through two games: the offense, the running game, and why he believes the defense is the heart and soul of this team.

USC hosts Fresno State under the Friday night lights, and it's a short turnaround for everybody, including this podcast.

First, Jackson Moore of 247Sports joins as the Fresno State insider. He breaks down what Matt Entz built in year one, why local kid Jayden Mandal overtook Khristian Martin for the starting quarterback job out of fall camp, the veteran defensive line, John Baxter's special teams revival, and how the Bulldogs plan to shorten the game and hang around into the fourth quarter.

Then former Trojan center Brett Neilon shares what he saw in Game One: the push USC's offensive line got against San Jose State, what changes for Tobias Raymond at center, the young talent that flashed, and what he's looking for from the pass rush on Friday. He also looks back on the 2022 season and Caleb Williams' Heisman run, including the trip to New York.

Hosted by Keely Eure, team reporter for USC Athletics.

NBC analyst Yogi Roth joins Keely Eure to break down USC's 42-26 win over San Jose State in the season opener at the Coliseum.

Yogi has called nearly every USC opener for the last 15 years, and he says this is the first one he walked into already knowing what he was going to see. He gets into the competitive depth that reminds him of the Pete Carroll era, the freshman class that raised the standard instead of following it, what the defense did and did not show, Trent Mosley's debut, the running back rotation, and why he has big expectations for Jayden Maiava this season.
