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.

Former USC wide receiver and Super Bowl champion Nelson Agholor is back! In his USC Trojan Media Network debut, Nelson sits down with Keely Eure to discuss what drew him back to Troy, his first look inside the Bloom Football Performance Center, and the people who shaped him along the way.

Nelson opens up about the football "bromance" with former roommate Cody Kessler, learning the wide receiver position from Robert Woods and Marquise Lee, and the freshman kickoff return where he blocked nobody and learned everything. He also tells the full story of Super Bowl LII — a hospital visit two days before kickoff, nine catches on the biggest stage, and why that game bought him ten years in the league. Plus, the offseason on a Calabasas high school track with Curtis Conway that turned his career around, and what he'll be watching for from USC in 2026.
