  • Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.7 Week 5 Washington & Virginia

    Both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC Trojans played

    ranked opponents this past weekend, but only one team was victorious. We start
    with the Trojans who lost to the Washington Huskies. It was another ho-hum
    performance for USC. There were highs and lows, but it was the usual sloppy
    Trojan performance. As for the victorious Fighting Irish, the defense looked
    great, especially in the second half, but there are some concerns over starting
    quarterback Ian Book.

  • Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.6 Week 4 Georgia & Utah

    There were big games for both the Notre Dame Fighting and

    the USC Trojans this weekend. We start the episode checking in on Greg’s
    emotional state after a close Notre Dame loss to the Georgia Bulldogs. Greg
    reminds everyone that the Fighting Irish haven’t won a big since he was nine,
    but is surprisingly happy with the teams showing against Georgia. However the
    play of some of Notre Dame’s 2019 captains is not making anyone happy. Everything
    was all smiles though, after a USC Trojan victory over the Utah Utes. Backup backup
    quarterback Matt Fink led the Trojans to the upset victory. Even though USC won
    things are not all roses in LA. The rest of the season is a giant question, and
    in the PAC-12 anything can and does happen.

  • Podcast: Tiltingground Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.5 Week 3 BYU & New Mexico

    Football is a tough sport, and on this episode of the

    podcast we lament over the USC Trojans loss to the BYU Cougars and celebrate the
    Notre Dame Fighting Irish’s victory over the New Mexico Lobos. We start with
    the Trojans and their disappointing performance against BYU. We run through all
    of the classic opinions about USC football like under performing with superior
    talent, what is wrong with the defense, special teams gaffs and when will Clay
    Helton get fired. As for Notre Dame everything is coming up roses for the
    Fighting Irish after their blowout victory. Freshman phenomenon and Greg
    favorite Kyle Hamilton returned his first career interception for a touchdown.
    We then get into Notre Dame’s upcoming match up with the Georgia Bulldogs, and
    compare the Fighting Irish with other top ten teams.

  • Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.4 Week 2 Recap Stanford & a Bye

    A new era of USC Trojan football began over the weekend. True

    freshman quarterback Kedon Slovis guided the Trojans to a victory over the
    Stanford Cardinal. In his first start the freshman from Arizona looked great,
    and gave USC fans something to cheer for during the 45 to 20 come from behind blowout
    victory. As always, there was some nitpicking regarding Trojan coach Clay Helton,
    and his ability to handle all the USC quarterbacks going forward. As for the
    Notre Dame Fighting Irish, they were on a bye. Even though Notre Dame didn’t
    play a game there were still concerns about quarterback Ian Book, and the
    mounting Fighting Irish injury list.

  • Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.3 Fresno State & Louisville

    Its official the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the USC

    Trojans played their first games of the season over the holiday weekend, and
    both teams secured victories. We start this episode, right after Notre Dames’
    Labor Day victory over the Louisville Cardinals. Things began shaky for the
    Fighting Irish, but adjustments were made and the victory was sealed. The Notre
    Dame secondary looked good, including the debut of freshman Kyle Hamilton, but
    the offense lacked something. The USC Trojans on the other hand dealt with a completely
    different set of problems when they faced off against the Fresno State
    Bulldogs. Graham Harrell’s air raid offense had mixed results, but a season
    ending injury to Trojan starting quarterback JT Daniels really got in the way of
    the offensive game plan. However, after the injury to Daniels the USC running
    backs looked more than capable of carrying the load. Even though it’s a new
    season for the Trojans, this looked like a continuation of last year’s dismal
    results.

  • Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.1b USC Season Preview

    Part two of the 2019 college football preview continues with

    the focus on the USC Trojans. If you missed part one, we discussed the Notre Dame
    Fighting Irish. When it comes to the Trojans we try to start by talking about offseason
    coaching changes, but things devolve quickly into the four headed quarterback
    battle currently taking place at USC. Quarterback talk moves into praising the
    Trojans fabulous wide receivers. When it comes to defense USC has a lot of good
    players on the defensive line and playing linebacker, but none of that matters because
    the secondary has not looked great over the summer and fall practices. We also
    talk about the air raid in general, the convoluted path some freshman took to
    get on the USC football team and of course griping about head coach Clay
    Helton.

  • Podcast: Untitled Notre Dame USC Football Podcast – Episode 5.1a Notre Dame Season Preview

    The 2019 college football season is finally here and that

    means the podcast is back. After the longest hiatus in podcast history Greg and
    Michael kickoff the new season breaking down the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and
    what fans should expect this season. We start at the quarterback position and
    discuss if Ian Book has what it takes to lead the Fighting Irish to a successful
    season. A preview of the rest of the offense follows. When things turn to
    defense key players are highlighted, but most importantly Greg gets an opportunity
    to fawn over Notre Dame’s new favorite son Kyle Hamilton. Part two of the
    season preview focusing on the USC Trojans will follow.
