UNCOVERED: Will USC's Football Coaches KNOW if Trojans Are Playoff Contenders After Spring Camp?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 2 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0000

USC Trojans football faces a turning point as spring camp kicks off, set to reveal whether Lincoln Riley’s squad has the ingredients to contend for a 2026 championship—or if fans should brace for another “wait and see” season.

With the transfer portal’s risks exposed and the baseball team remaining undefeated, the focus shifts back to the gridiron—are these Trojans genuine playoff contenders, or will spring camp only raise more questions?

Big 10 SQUAD - Will Indiana DEFEAT Miami in the National Championship?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Will Indiana secure a historic third straight Big Ten national championship, or can Miami pull off an upset at home? The panel breaks down the surprising Indiana vs. Miami title matchup, spotlighting Fernando Mendoza’s efficiency, Miami’s home-field advantage, and the impact of dynamic stars like Elijah Surratt. The crew debates why traditional powerhouses like Oregon, USC, and UCLA are chasing the Hoosiers, and what it will take for Miami—led by Carson Beck—to topple Indiana’s disciplined defense. West Coast transfer portal winners and the “James Madison model” are in the spotlight, with UCLA’s aggressive rebuild and USC’s strategic portal moves scrutinized. Insights on Dante Moore’s development, key prop bets from FanDuel, and bold predictions for the Big Ten’s hottest teams set the stage for an unmissable showdown. Can UCLA or USC reclaim national prominence, or will Indiana’s blue-collar approach keep them on top?

Here Is A USC Defensive Coordinator Update: Is Lincoln Riley Using Stall Tactics?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

USC has gone nearly two weeks without an official defensive coordinator. Is Lincoln Riley holding up the announcement for strategic reasons? Marvin Powell III and I discuss what could be causing the delay in USC announcing it's next defensive coordinator.

Segment 1.--It seems like USC is taking its time and doing due diligence searching for for D;Anton Lynn's replacement. However, if Lincoln Riley already made his decision, then why would waiting until after the transfer portal window closes, a good strategy?

Segment 2.--USC's newest players had a fantastic showing in San Antonio during the Navy All American Bowl game. Luke Wafle took home the game MVP Award, and Jameson Winfield showed why he was considered one of the best players from the state of Texas, regardless of position. And the Trojans also got a jumpstart on its 2027 recruiting class.

Segment 3.--Final thoughts on Husan Longstreet's transfer and where he's looking to go.

Three Possible Reasons Why Its Taking USC So Long To Name A Defensive Coordinator.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 6 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

The Trojans are still without a defensive coordinator nearly one week after their final game, and there are no signs one will be named soon. Despite not having the staff completely assembled, USC has been active in the transfer portal and are starting to fill in at the positions of need. Plus some men's hoops news.

Segment 1.--I have three possible reasons why USC's next defensive coordinator is still at-large, including a financial reason as well as a couple of others that need to be discussed.

Segment 2.--Lincoln Riley and Chad Bowden have found a couple of needs in the transfer portal; USC now has an experienced WR and LB to go with their cornerback they previously picked up. Both are solid additions, however, did USC settle?

Segment 3.--The men's hoops team traveled to the state of Michigan. It wasn't fun.

Segment 3.--Lincoln Riley said USC is the Mecca of college football and most recently after the loss to TCU, he said, "It's a privilege, not a right to work and play at USC. After another disappointing season, has anything changed?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Who will Lincoln Riley pick to be USC's next defensive coordinator now that D'Anton Lynn is going home to do the same at Penn St. where he played in college?

Segment 1.--I talk about the announcement that Lynn is leaving and start exploring possible names as his replacement. There is one name at the top of the hot board, however, that does not mean there is just one solution.

Segment 2.--Lincoln Riley was asked about the USC vs Notre Dame Rivalry during the head coaches press conference at the Alamo Bowl. This was the first chance for the media to bring up the issue and Coach Riley took the time to remind everyone about what Notre Dame said and what they ended up doing instead.

Segment 3.--USC's 2026 roster got a lot better when Elijah Paige resigned. I'll tell you who else is planning to re-sign with USC and where one Trojan might end up once the transfer portal opens on January 2nd.

Segment 3.--What if USC has to replace multiple coaches on the defensive side of the ball this offseason? Is there a scenario playing out where Coach Orgeron returns to USC?

Segment 2.--Marvin and wonder out loud how long Jayden Maiava will play in the bowl game with the offensive line being in such a flux. There is a good chance that USC could all 5 stars in 2026, however, there's also a good chance that only one or two from 2025 will be available to play against TCU.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

With Jayden Maiava re-signing and coming back in 2026, the Trojans will have one of the top 5 QBs in the country. So what's the next move from USC and Husan Longstreet?

Segment 1.--With Maiava returning to play QB, the Trojans will have one of the best offenses in the country with a veteran QB, and veteran and experienced offensive line that could return all 5 starters, maybe the best running back tandem in the conference, and some elite talent at WR. Next year's matchup against Ohio State could feature the two best offenses in the country when they meet at the Coliseum.

Segment 2.--With Maiava returning to play in 2026, it means 5-star backup Husan Longstreet and USC have to figure what to do next. Will Longstreet stay at USC or will he test the transfer portal? I talk about the different options and what it means going forward.

Getting To 9-3 Means There Was More Good Than Bad For USC In 2025

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

In order for USC to get to 9-3 and a chance to win 10 games there was more good than bad in 2025 and I have the breakdown on the field and off the field.

Segment 1.--I talk about a few key areas where USC improved and even over performed, and compare it to areas that need to improve, and in a couple of cases even underperformed. Off the field the coaching staff evaluated well at the high school level, however, can the same be said regarding their transfer portal evaluations?

Segment 2.--Did you know that Coach Riley and TCU head coach Sonny Dykes were close friends and coached together at their alma mater, Texas Tech? I have some quotes from their first press conference heading into the Alamo Bowl matchup.

Segment 3.--The men's basketball team hit the road to play the University of San Diego where Eric Musselman played and got into coaching. The Trojans broke their 1-game losing streak and improved to 9-1 led by Ezra Ausar and Chad Baker-Mazara who combined for 60 points.

USC Knows Which Recruits Are Coming: But Who Will Be Available To Play In The Bowl Game?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 9 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC plays TCU in the Alamo Bowl and the Trojans have two of the best WRs in the nation who might declare for the NFL. So who is left to play WR if they opt-out?

Segment 1.---If Makai Lemon and Ja'Kobi Lane both choose to opt-out, it will be up to Tanook Hines and a few others like Jaden Richardson, Zacharyus Williams, Josiah Zamora, and Jay Fair with experience, and true freshmen Corey Simms and Romero Ison to make a namer themself.

Segment 2.--There have been 11 Trojans who have decided to enter the transfer portal. I have an idea on where USC needs more help coming in and where they don't need help.

Segment 3.--I answer some questions from the fans.

USC's 2026 roster is going to have a new look with at least 35 incoming freshmen, however, how many Trojans are using the transfer portal to leave? Marvin Powell III and I discuss if there are too many new players leaving the program. And if playing time is an issue that's causing underclassmen to leave, how does an expanded roster help the situation?

No One Thought USC Could Do It, However, They Have The No.1 recruiting Class

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 3 Dec 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It looks like USC will finish with the No.1 ranked recruiting class and they did it the right way with asking the recruits to be disciplined. The Trojans will have 29 of it's 35-member class enroll early which means Lincoln Riley will have a bunch on new guys ready to compete this spring for jobs.

December is a busy month for Lincoln Riley, I'll explain what it all means.

And the mens basketball team remained undefeated with a big win on the road at Oregon. I have the highlights from No. 24 ranked USC's win on the road.

There Are Consequences When You Break A USC Recruiting Rule

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC's No. 1 ranked recruiting class suffered a loss when one of the commitments broke Chad Bowden's No.1; When you commit to USC there is a "No More Visits Allowed" policy. The Trojans appear to be in the market for another transfer portal CB now that Jackwon Morris broke the rule.

After practice D'Anton Lynn explained why the defense hasn't progressed the way everyone had hoped in its 2nd year. I have Coach Lynn's quotes and attest to explain what it means.

And someone broke my No. 1 Thanksgiving rule is the topic of this week's Friday Rant.

USC TROJANS POSTCAST: The Trojans DIG themselves a BIG hole!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 04:04:06 +0000

The Trojans fought hard but couldn't run the ball and when you couple that with their Inability to stop the DUCKS from running the ball, this game was just not in the cards for the Men of Troy.

Lincoln Riley called a good game but Dan Lanning called a better one.

For every good thing the Trojans did the Ducks did 1 1/2 better things.

The Ducks did a great job eliminating the dominance of Makai Lemon and King Miller only ran for 30 yards but Tanook Hines picked up a lot of the slack with a standout performance 6 catches for 141 yards and 1 TD

Big 10 SQUAD - What the USC Trojans Will do in Week Twelve

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0000

Big Ten playoff hopes hang in the balance as conference chaos continues. How many teams will crash the College Football Playoff party?

Ten Big Ten podcast hosts break down the latest rankings and deliver predictions for Week 12's crucial matchups. The discussion covers Iowa's historic struggles on the West Coast ahead of their USC showdown, Michigan State's defensive collapse against Penn State, and Wisconsin's upset victory over Washington that featured their punter as the leading passer. Ohio State's dominance stands in stark contrast to Indiana's nail-biting wins, while Michigan prepares for a sloppy Wrigley Field battle against Northwestern.

Key analysis includes Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski's first three-loss season ever, Michigan State backup Alessio Milivojevic's 300-yard passing debut, and why the Oregon-USC game could be a playoff elimination matchup. The hosts debate SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey's bold playoff predictions and whether two-loss Big Ten teams deserve postseason spots.

Tune in for expert predictions, friendly trash talk, and insider perspectives on which Big Ten teams will survive the playoff race.

USC's Fake Punt Was Legal And It Was A Lesson Learned

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley and USC are being questioned for the way they interpreted the B1G Conference rule book and using "unfair tactics" on their fake punt against Northwestern. I will explain what the Conference said and why the outside voices are all wrong.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 8 Nov 2025 06:01:18 +0000

USC TROJANS dominate NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS 38-17 in Friday night showcase at the Coliseum. Can quarterback JAYDEN MAIAVA and this explosive offense carry momentum into a ranked matchup?

Pete Fox breaks down the TROJANS' commanding victory, highlighting MAKAI LEMON's untouchable 11-catch, 161-yard performance and true freshman KING MILLER's breakout 127-yard rushing display. The analysis covers USC's critical second-half defensive adjustments that held Northwestern to just 3 points after halftime, MAIAVA's bounce-back performance with 299 passing yards and 2 touchdowns, and how the balanced offensive attack is reshaping the team's Big Ten championship aspirations.

Key topics include the TROJANS' improved 7-2 record and 5-1 conference standing, defensive standouts KAMARI RAMSEY and BRAYLON CONLEY, and the upcoming challenge against ranked IOWA HAWKEYES. Fox examines how USC's 18-1 home record against unranked opponents under LINCOLN RILEY positions them for a potential playoff push.

Will the TROJANS maintain this offensive firepower against tougher Big Ten competition, or can IOWA's defense slow down LEMON and MILLER's explosive playmaking?

What Does Lincoln Riley's Definition Of Being Offensively Balanced Mean?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley said having a balanced number of pass and rushing attempts during a game is overrated and that it's more important to move the ball and do what's working. I have the full quote and the context and dissect what USC's head coach and play caller meant in the first segment.

The Trojans are ranked inside the top 20 of the first college football playoff poll that was released this week. I break down USC's chances of running the table and getting an invite to the 12-team playoff field with an At-large bid.

The show wraps up with some questions from Locked On USC's mailbag.

Which Defense Did USC Pack For Nebraska?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC showed they can play great defense against Michigan, but they have also shown that they can be inconsistent on the road. Which defense did they pack for Nebraska? Kendell Hollowell from Sports Illustrated joined me to discuss the weekend's "Blackout Game" in Lincoln Nebraska.

Lincoln Riley Said USC Is Making Enough Big Plays On Defense To Be Very Good

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley said his defense is making enough big plays to play really, really good defensively. I have his full quote and the context behind the statement. Two things can be true at the same time; USC's defense has made some big plays, however, they have also allowed way too many big plays. I break it all down in the first segment.

I also have Matt Rhule quotes and in the final segment I answer questions from the show's every day listeners and viewers.

If Riley's Play Calling Is Hot, Is Lincoln (Nebraska) Cooked?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley has the best quarterback in the conference and Nebraska has the No. 2 pass defense in the country . If Coach Riley's play calling is hot, USC can win on the road. The Trojans travel to Lincoln Nebraska looking for their 2nd win on the road this season and if they leave with a victory, they will have a better chance to finish strong down the stretch.

And USC's No.1 rated 2026 recruiting class added another big piece after flipping a TE commitment from Utah.

USC Passed Their Big Test Against Michigan: Next Up, The Notre Dame Midterm Exam

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If USC wants to beat Notre Dame this weekend it was imperative that they aced their test against Michigan. I have USC's report card and what it means. It looks like the Trojans have learned their lessons well and taught the Michigan Wolverines a lesson in humility.

I also have some team news, notes and quotes, plus some recruiting information. In the third segment I have some Mailbag questions and comments.

This Could Be USC's Last Chance To Prove Themselves To The Non-Believers!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 8 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

After the Trojans most recent loss, no one believes USC can play a physical style of football on defense. This might be the last chance to prove it against Michigan. The Trojans are already looking forward to playing Michigan at the Coliseum, however, the Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore's comments might have given USC's players more incentive.

There Was No Defensive Response From USC Against Illinois or From The Trojans Defensive Coordinator

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 2 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC fans wait to see how the defense responds when they take on Michigan following the bye week, but how D'Anton Lynn respond to his defense's performance?

I have a quote from Lincoln Riley and the fans reaction to what he had to say. Unfortunately, the media is still waiting to hear from USC's defensive coordinator after he missed Wednesday's practice because of being ill.

Discipline Requires Accountability: Who Holds The USC Coaches Accountable?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 1 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's coaches hold the players accountable, so who holds the coaches accountable? I make the argument that the media it's the media's responsibility. In the first segment, I explain why the media can verify if what we're being told is accurate and why they should be allowed to watch.

I have some Lincoln Riley quotes after Tuesday's bye week practice including some critical injury updates. And I wrap up the show with some mailbag questions.

The USC Report Card From Their Illinois Test Isn't Pretty But There Were Still Some A+ Grades

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's loss to Illinois did not grade out very well on the defensive side, however, there were still a couple of A+ performances on offense that stood out. I have my final grades for the Trojans efforts against the Fighting Illini and the defense has to figure things out before Michigan arrives in two weeks.

Makai Lemon is the nations best WR and when you consider what he's done so far while Ja'Kobi Lane plays through an injury, Lemon's production is even more impressive. He's doing all of this while a true 3rd receiver is still needed.

In the 3rd segment I talk about USC's reputation for being undisciplined and their own worst enemy.

Can Lincoln Riley Fix USC's Issues?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC was undefeated before their game against Illinois but they return home with the loss going into a bye week. What did Lincoln Riley learn and can he fix it? One thing was clear after the Trojans dropped their first game of the season, their defense has some issues to work out and the team has some discipline issues that need to be fixed before Michigan comes to town in two weeks.

Every Monday Marvin Powell III and I break down what we saw and what needs to happen next.

USC Will Show Illinois Why They Are More Physical Than Finesse

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's offense has shown it can be both physical running the ball as well as passing. On Saturday, Lincoln Riley's offense will exploit Illinois' defensive scheme. The Fighting Illini love to blitz and man to man coverage against the pass. If they do that on Saturday, it could be another high scoring affair for the Trojans. Marvin Powell and I explain why USC's style is a matchup problem for Illinois.

The Trojans Defense Has Some Hungry Dawgs To Feed, And Is Jayden Better Than Caleb?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC will play a brunch time game on the road in Champaign, Illinois and the Trojansplan to eat a lot. The team is hungry to show the country they're as good as advertised. USC's defense leads the country in sacks and Illinois' offensive line has struggled so far this season. And offensively, Jayden Maiava is putting up better numbers than Heisman winner Caleb Williams. I have all the details plus some mens hoops talk in the 3rd segment.

USC's Offensive And Defensive Lines Standing Among The Best In The Country

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If there are two things from USC's 45-31 victory over Michigan St. that stood out, it would be how well the offensive and defensive lines have been recruited and developed. The Trojans' offensive line has allowed just 3 sacks through 4 games, while USC leads the nation with 16 defensive sacks.

Marvin Powell III and I look back at what worked and what needs work going forward as the conference schedule ramps up.

USC Is 3-0 And Ranked Inside The Top 25: Things Are About To Get Tougher Going Forward

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

No. 25 USC is 3-0 but things begin to get tougher this Saturday when they host Michigan St, followed with games against Illinois, Michigan, and Notre Dame. I talk about the potential trap game with the Spartans and what to anticipate from Jonathan Smith's team.

USC's Game On The Road At Purdue Has Huge Implications: It's a Must Win!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC plays on the road this week when they head to Purdue, and while it's only the 3rd game of the year, it's still a "Must Win" game for the Trojans and Lincoln Riley. I have a sobering stat in the 1st segment that makes this a must win game.

In the show's 2nd segment I have some quotes & notes from Purdue's head coach Barry Odom and former USC Offensive line coach Josh Henson.

And in the 3rd segment I have two underrated players on USC's roster that are underrated for different reasons.

There Needs To Be A Reason: Why Did USC Fall In The Coaches Poll?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 3 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Not only did USC not rise in the Coaches Poll after beating a team by 60 points, they fell two spots. It makes no sense and it means just one reason why; they hate USC. I make the case in the first segment that the poll is flawed highlighting the hypocrisy and the manipulation of the voters.

I have a some notes & quotes from the Trojans practice, as well as a couple of quotes from Clay Helton on the upcoming game in the 2nd segment. And a few recruiting notes in the final segment.

USC made a lot of impressions during their 73-13 win over the Missouri St. Bears. I have three things that really stood out for me that I talk about in the second segment.

The third segment I have two favorite plays that I need to talk about. They were executed perfectly.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In roughly 24 hours it will be USC feeding time. The Trojans are going to be feeding Bear meat to a bunch of players by the time the game is over, and I know who will eat the most.

There is an update with the USC vs Notre Dame rivalry. Trojans Athletic Director Jen Cohen spoke to the LA Times and I have the details and what it could all mean.

And since it's Friday it must mean I have a couple of things to rant about. That's in the 3rd segment.

What Is D'Anton Lynn Looking For: Can USC's Defensive Line Get To The Quarterback?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC will take on Missouri St. in approximately 48 hours and Coach D'Anton Lynn needs to know if his defense can get to the opposing quarterback with just 4 guys. Plus there is some more injury news to talk about at the nickel position.

The official depth chart is available and there are couple of "OR" designations on defense.

And in the third segment, I take a look at USC's chances of playing in the cold weather at night against Nebraska since the Cornhuskers starting QB thinks it will be too cold for the visiting Trojans.

It Looks Like The Offensive Line Is Set: Lincoln Riley Named Another Starter

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When USC hosts Missouri St. to open the season it will be like Coach Norman Dale from the movie Hoosiers bringing his small town Hickory team to the big city. There is no Cinderella story ending, Missouri St.'s head coach knows what his team is preparing for and have some quotes and what to anticipate.

USC's offensive line depth chart is set. There are no "OR's". Elijah Paige, Tobias Raymond, Killian O'Connor, Alani Noa, and Justin Tauanuu will be the starters. Plus there is some unexpected injury news with Jahkeem Stewart possibly being unavailable in week-1, and USC's transfer kicker Cade Chittenden is definitely out after having a couple of camp setbacks while rehabbing.

In the third segment, I have 4 questions ahead of Saturday's game that require a YAY or NAY answer from the listeners & viewers.

Coach Riley hasn't released the official week-1 depth chart yet, that should be available Thursday "OR" Friday. But I'm ready to discuss my 2-deep depth chart.

The talent on the roster gets better each year and I have a handful of names that rest of the country will call superstars by the end of the year. I tell you who in the 2nd segment.

What is Rob Ryan's biggest challenge working with the linebackers not named Eric Gentry and Desman Stephens? That's the topic in the 3rd segment.

For USC In 2025, It's All About The Details And Ja'Kobi Lane Had A Broken Foot

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

During his weekly ZOOM call with the media, Lincoln Riley talked about emphasizing the attention to details, Jayden Maiava's leadership and Ja'Kobi Lane's broken foot. Each week during the season Coach Riley answers the media's questions heading into the team's next game. This is Mock Game Week and Coach Riley brought everyone up to speed, including Lane's health after suffering a broken foot back in May. I have all the details in the show's first two segments.

And as usual, I wrap up the Locked On USC week with my Friday Rant. This week I get to remind everyone that I was right. Now that the SEC is moving forward and playing 9 conference games starting in 2026, plus the mandate to play at least 1 "tough" out of conference game, there are no more excuses left for those who want USC to stop play Notre Dame. I'll tell you why.

If USC Wants A Different Result In 2025 Then Jayden Maiava Has To Be Different

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

With a very good defense already established, the 2025 Trojans will go only as far as Jayden Maiava and Lincoln Riley's leadership on offense takes them. I have some notes & quotes that have me believing the quarterback play in 2025 will be different than what everyone experienced during USC's 1st year in the B1G Conference.

In the 2nd segment, I have 15 player predictions for this season and my overall prediction for games won.

The College Football Playoff Committee is going to start weighing the strength of schedule component more closely with the 2025 playoff field. I have the details and why the USC vs Notre Dame rivalry can continue uninterrupted.

True Or False: USC's Defensive Line Has Two Freshmen All American Candidates?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 20 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's 2025 class landed some of the best defensive line prospects in the recruiting cycle and I predict that the Trojans will have two Freshmen All-Americans in 2025. In the show's first segment, I explore a true or false scenario between Floyd Boucard and Jahkeem Stewart. I'll tell you which one will have the better freshman season and college career.

Following Tuesday's practice during Mock Game Week, Lincoln Riley talked about the offensive line room's versatility.--And his comments sound very similar to my breakdown regarding who will be starting and who will be part of the 2-deep rotation because of their versatility.

In the final segment of the show I explain why USC needs to reclaim their 2004 National Championship that was stripped away, otherwise Auburn feels like they deserve to be crowned champion. I have the details.

USC Needs To Show Off The Program's Development: Where Is USC Better In 2025?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Despite losing a some players during the offseason, the 2025 Trojans are better off in a few areas compared to their 2024 team including at WR and the coaching staff. In the first segment I explain where USC made significant improvement and where they improved in areas that can't be seen.

It looks like the offensive line room is going to lose one of its more experienced players. DJ Wingfield is not expected to get the ruling he was hoping for which means it's time to move forward and set the rotation. I have the details in the second segment.

When someone says remember the Alamo it's not usually associated with the postseason. However, that's what some of the folks at ESPN, Athlon, and CBS want USC fans to remember when their postseason arrives.

USC Deserves An Apology From Everyone Who Called Them A Cheater!

It's been over 15 years since the NCAA dropped the hammer on USC and now with Michigan getting their penalties for actual cheating, I have a message for the NCAA. The fine folks at the NCAA decided to rub some dirt into the Trojan Family's barely closed wounds when they gave the Wolverine program a pass for lying, cheating, and a lack of institutional control and I'll tell you why USC deserves an apology.

In the second segment, I have a few updates before the team starts Mock Game Week. And win the 3rd segment, I answer questions from Monday's Mailbag.

There's Lot's Of Talk Regarding Which USC Linebackers Will Get To Play

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Everyone knows Eric Gentry and Desman Stephens are USC's starting linebackers. But who are the backups and how much will they play if the starters stay on the field? Following the Trojans 14th fall camp practice Coach Lynn talked about the backups roles and when they should anticipate seeing the field in a game.

I have some news regarding TE Walter Matthews as well as other practice notes one day before USC scrimmages inside the Coliseum.

And this week's Friday Rant wants people to stay in their lane and stop making my drive more difficult than it needs to be.

Lincoln Riley Talked About The Depth On Defense: But Is It A Problem?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC identified its first problem ahead of game 1; They have too much depth on the defensive line! Coach Riley talked about the challenge of finding enough playing time. It's not really a problem because of how much depth the room has and the versatility that the group offers. However that doesn't mean it's not a "good" problem to have.

I have the latest notes & quotes from Day 12 of fall camp, and is one player making a position switch? I'll tell you who might be switching positions in the show's second segment.

USC finally got some love in a preseason poll, and it's coming from an unlikely friend. The Trojans open the season No. 15 in the JP Poll.

Lincoln Riley's Offense Does A Lot of Great Things: What Makes It Work?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 13 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley's offense is known for causing problems for opposing defenses but it can also make it hard for his own defense to coexist with his offensive philosophy. I explain the Yin & Yang relationship between the offense and D'Anton Lynn's defense.

In the 2nd segment I'll tell you what to look for that will make the Trojans defense better in its second year under the direction of Lynn. It starts with more depth on the defensive line.

How many marquee wins has USC had with Lincoln Riley as head coach and how many will they have in 2025?

If USC Follows These 10 Steps They'll Make The Playoffs In 2025

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If USC was close in 2024, it means they're closer to making the playoffs in 2025. If USC takes 10 more steps in the right direction they'll find their way back home. I have a 10-step path back to the top for Lincoln Riley's Trojans in the first segment.

All of the offseason talk about USC has been consistent.--No one likes USC in 2025 and the first AP Poll of the year confirms it. The Trojans are ranked 30th. I break down the top 25 in the 2nd segment, and I point out all of the hypocrisy and contradictions with the teams ranked.

USC is one of 5 real blue bloods. Others in the media are trying to recreate the wheel and add more to the room. I have a very strong rebuttal for Andy Staples and his new blue bloods.

There Is No more Time To Waste: USC Has To Go 9-3 This Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There is no more time to waste. USC has to finish 9-3 or better in 2025 or an argument can be made that USC is wasting its time with Lincoln Riley as the head coach. The Trojans head coach is entering his 4th season and there is no more time for excuses from the fans on why the wait is taking so long to get USC back to where they belong.

The USC running game will go as far as Waymo takes them. Waymond Jordan isn't a household name, but he has the "It" factor. I explain why in the 2nd segment and the show wraps up with Monday's mailbag and questions from the viewers and listeners of the show.

The Primary Concern On Defense For USC Is The Secondary

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 8 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's 2025 defense is anticipated to show improvement over last year's improvement. However, if there are any concerns, the secondary would be the primary one. D'Anton, Doug Belk, and Trovon Reed have the talent, however, no one has separated themselves from each other at the cornerback spot.

In the second segment, I explain why three scoops of vanilla on offense and defense will taste great as USC prepares for the tougher games on the schedule. I explain why it's important to just do the basics in the first three games against inferior competition.

And I have two things I need to vent about during the Friday Rant segment to close the show.

Big 10 SQUAD - PREDICTING Conference Leaders in 2025!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 8 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Big Ten football's future stars take center stage. Who will lead the conference in passing, rushing, and receiving?

Spencer McLaughlin and a panel of college football experts break down the top contenders for statistical dominance. From Ohio State's Julian Sayin drawing Dwayne Haskins comparisons to Oregon's Makai Hughes as a potential rushing leader, the discussion covers every angle. Dark horse candidates emerge, including Purdue's Devin Mockbee chasing rushing records and Nebraska's Dane Key making waves as a transfer.

Will Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith live up to the hype as the next great receiver? Can Drew Allar elevate Penn State's passing game? Tune in for insider predictions and heated debates on the Big Ten's offensive powerhouses.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 7 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Trojans have wrapped up 7 days of fall camp and there are G.O.A.T.S hanging out watching some the best talent on the roster. Former USC WR and Belitnikoff Award Winner Marqise Lee was there to see the latest group of WRs while also being impressed by the size of the players. I have a complete Notes & Observations practice report in segment 1.

In the 2nd segment, I'll let you know what I've learned about the 13 players who arrived in the summer and how they look compared to the guys who were early enrollees.

The show wraps up with me explain why Makai Lemon should be taken off punt return duties.

USC Has More Strengths Than Weaknesses In 2025: But Will Those Strengths Be Enough?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 6 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Trojans enter the 2025 season with more strengths than weaknesses, but will that be enough to help USC improve over last year's results? In the first segment I break down USC strengths in 2025; everything from the players to the coaching staff.

I also explain why USC's weaknesses are more about the unknown than their ability to be a strength. I explain why in the 2nd segment.

The show wraps up with my 5 freshmen that have a chance to play early and often.

USC Can Be A Special Team: Special Teams Could Play A Big Role In 2025

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 5 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC was back on the practice field for day No. 5 of fall camp and it had a special feel to it with Coach Lincoln Riley watching the special team specialists. In the first segment I have all of the notes & observations from fall camp's 5th practice, including a special bonding moment between Coach Riley and myself.

In the second segment, I explain how USC was left off the Coaches Preseason Poll that was just released. I also explain why the Coaches Poll is the one that's the most worthless.

The show wraps up with some my own player and defensive predictions before the season starts.

USC's Freshmen Don't Act Or Look Like Freshmen: They're Physical & Confident!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 4 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC has a bunch of freshmen who don't look or act their age and it's showing up on the practice field, including a few of the bigger guys on both sides of the ball. There is a lot of confidence with the 2025 recruiting class and I have an update on what I saw and heard at the team's first practice in pads.

The Trojans added to their No.1 ranked recruiting class when Breck Kolojay joined his IMG teammate Keenyi Pepe. The two will continue their playing careers together at USC. I have all the details and quotes from his commitment ceremony.

The show's 3rd segment handles the Monday Mailbag where I answer questions from the viewers and listeners.

When It Comes To Playing QB, Jayden Maiava Wants To Stay In Neutral.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 1 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC quarterback Jayden Maiava said the best way for him to move his game forward is to use a neutral mindset. But what does that mean? I'll tell you what it could mean.

There are 3-4 positions that need to see a player emerge as a star. In the 2nd segment I'll tell you the positions and give you a handful of names to remember.

This week's Friday Rant has to do with communication. It's hard enough to communicate but when someone speaks a different language, it makes business transactions really challenging.

The Trojans opened fall camp with a mostly healthy roster, plus Lincoln Riley talked about another new addition to the coaching staff on Day 1.

When It Comes To USC Football It Comes Down To Perception: Arrogant Or Confident?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 30 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

"We're not arrogant, we're just that good. "At USC's media day I asked D'Anton Lynn if he preferred his defense to be known as a confident group or arrogant. Confidence and arrogance comes to down to perception and I make the argument that leans toward arrogate in the first segment.

Fall camp opens today and there is a lot to keep an eye on throughout camp leading up to the season in 31 more days. I'll tell you who, what, and why my eyes will be focused on certain players and position groups.

In the third segment I talk about why 2025 is USC's most important fall camp in history.

USC held Media Day ahead of fall camp opening and one thing is very clear; The Trojans defensive line room is massive and they are going to be a big problem in 2025. I had a chance to see them up close and speak with them and I haven't felt this good about USC's defensive line in a very long time!

I have some good (recruiting) news and bad (roster)news, plus some of the best quotes from the players and coaches regarding the strength and conditioning program under Trumain Carroll. He is exactly what the doctor ordered. I have all of the details in the second and third segments of the show

It's Almost Time For USC To Talk: The B1G Conference Media Days Are Turning Into A War Of Words

It's almost time for Lincoln Riley to talk at the B1G Conference Media Days, but so far it's been a lot of "big" talk about which conference is better, the B1G or the SEC. In the first segment I'll tell you what to anticipate when Coach Riley speaks this week, and which questions will be asked.

The Trojans are going to have a very good defense in 2025, and the linebackers will play a major role. I have the details including a comparison to the linebacker group from Ohio State.

The B1G and SEC are trying to decide the future fate of college football's playoff structure. I have the latest details from B1G Conference Media Days including some sarcastic quotes.

B1G Conference Media Days Start This Week: No One Is Looking At USC

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Big Conference Media Days are this week and no one anticipates the Trojans doing much in 2025. The question is, does the media know more than USC fans? Is it due to question marks on offense, specifically at QB and the Line, or does it go deeper than that?

The Trojans were picked to finish 9th in the B1G Conference preseason poll. I have the breakdown and my own thoughts on the voting.

Last year Miller Moss was on the preseason Heisman watch List, this season, there are no Trojans. I have two who should be on the list in the 3rd segment of the show.

USC will be at the B1G Conference Media Days this week and there will be questions asked about what to expect in 2025 and will they play to the USC standard. There are just a couple of days left before the season kicks into gear with media days, and then fall camp the next week. I have some thoughts on what to anticipate, including questioning the standard USC fans should expect in year No. 4 with Lincoln Riley.

This episode also has a Monday's Mailbag segment where I answer the questions and comments from the fans.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC brought in a bunch of guys via the transfer portal during the offseason and if the Trojans want a chance to make the playoffs the transfers will have to payoff on the field. The Trojans added 15 guys since December and each of them will play an integral role with USC's success in 2025.

In the show's second segment I'm going to illustrate how much better the defensive line recruiting has been since Lincoln Riley took over compared to what USC did the 5 years prior.--"YIKES!"

And I wrap up the week with a Friday Rant and a warning about trying to take advantage of me.--Even if you're a friend.

USC's Jayden Maiava Is Closer To The Bottom Of The B1G Conference Than The Top: He's No.13 Out Of 18

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 17 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Jayden Maiava is going into his second season with Lincoln Riley, however, that is n't enough to change the opinions of those who rank the best quarterbacks in the country. According to the online publication, The Athletic, USC has the 13th best QB in an 18-team league. That seems hard to believe when Lincoln Riley is the head coach of your program.

It Took Less Than 24 Hours To Make Things Right Again: USC Regained The No.1 Ranked Recruiting Class

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC regained the No.1 class ranking just one day after Georgia leap frogged the Trojans. I'll explain what happened and I have some Tom Tom Topui evaluation feedback. While the country was wondering when USC's top-ranked class would start to drop in the rankings, something else happened instead, and I have the details behind the TomTom disrespect from Rivals.

Jahkeem Stewart hasn't played a game for USC yet, however, he's already considered one of the team's most important players. I'll tell you why "Thanos" will make an impact as a true freshman.

What if the playoffs existed back in 2002? I play the "what if" game in the 3rd segment. USC won 2 consecutive national championships and played for a 3rd. However, how many more would the Trojans have won had the 12-team playoff format been around? That's the topic.

USC's Recruiting Class Took A Couple of Hits To Its "No.1" Ranked Class

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The new Rivals Top 300 rankings came out and there are a lot of raised eyebrows. USC's class dropped to No.2 because certain players saw their ranking drop. I have all of the details with the new top 300 list and I also have my own opinion on the matter.

In the second segment, I talk about the 17 Trojans that landed in the top 300 list and if the rankings make any sense. There's a lot of disparity between the Rivals evaluations compared to 247 and ESPN.

Have you ever wondered why the BIG 10 Conference doesn't change its name with 18 members? I'll tell you why.

USC Has More Good News Coming: Three Trojan Recruits Are Rising Stars

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's class of 2026 is about to get some more good news when three commits will see there ranking get a bump strengthening the Trojans No.1 ranked class. Three members of the class are being recognized, but what if there should be more? I have the details in the first segment.

If the Trojans defense is going to take another step forward with their progress from last year, the linebackers will have to play a bigger role. That's the show's topic in the 2nd segment, and I wrap up the episode with another edition of Monday's Mailbag.

There Are 50 Days Left Until The Season Kicks Off: Does USC Have An Offensive Line Issue To Deal With?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Trojans could be without one of their most experienced offensive linemen unless the NCAA grants DJ Wingfield his eligibility waiver to play for USC in 2025. Offensive line coach Zach Hanson's room has plenty of depth on the interior, however, the next guys up are young with little game experience. I have all of the details in the show's first segment.

USC is NIL strong in 2025 and it's only going to get better every year going forward. Lincoln Riley even talks about USC's "Fair Market Value" advantage they have over everyone else.

This week's Friday Rant talks about disingenuous discussions. What if I told you that there are some out there who do not believe that the NCAA did anything punitive to USC over the Reggie Bush investigation.

Big 10 SQUAD - How new NIL rulings impact the USC Trojans

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Big Ten football shakeup: NIL chaos, PJ Fleck's extension, and Penn State's title hopes. Can the Nittany Lions go undefeated in 2023?

Spencer McLaughlin and the Locked On Big Ten Squad dissect the August 1st NIL deadline's potential impact on college football. The hosts debate PJ Fleck's controversial contract extension at Minnesota, questioning if it rewards mediocrity or secures long-term stability. Penn State's upcoming season takes center stage as the panel analyzes their 10.5 win total projection and key matchups against Ohio State and Oregon.

Will fake NIL deals be exposed? Is this Penn State's year to dethrone the Buckeyes? Tune in for expert insights and bold predictions on the Big Ten's most pressing issues.

Lincoln Riley Has The No.1 Ranked 2026 Recruiting Class: Is There Something Missing?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's No.1 ranked recruiting class isn't perfect, but it's close. With four spots left I look at each of the position groups to determine where the staff will look next. Where will Lincoln Riley and the staff look to add more depth during the season and who which position groups need more help?

Lincoln Riley is getting some love from The Sporting News. Coach Riley is tabbed as the 4th best coach in the B1G Conference, and No. 12 nationally.

NIL and revenue sharing is great for USC and its student athletes. But there are some negative side effects that are rising to the top and it's affecting even the biggest brands. I have the details and where the losses are mounting.

USC Is Getting Snubbed Again: Why Does Phil Steele Have 9 WRs Better Than Ja'Kobi Lane?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 9 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's roster is loaded with talent, however, they're not receiving a lot of preseason love when it comes to filling out the All-Conference teams, especially at WR. Phil Steele's College Football magazine breaks down everything you need to know, but there is also a lot stuff that's hard to agree with. I talk about where USC is getting snubbed the most on this episode of Locked On USC

In the 3rd segment, I have offensive line stuff to talk about. Who and what will be a pleasant surprise and where is the group's liability ahead of fall camp?

USC' Football Recruiting Gets Another Crystal Ball: Who Is Next?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 8 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Another recruiting crystal ball rolled into USC territory. The Trojans 2027 recruiting cycle might be getting a head start with QB prospect Peyton Houston. Once Boobie Feaster committed to the Trojans over the July 4th weekend, his good friend Peyton Houston has been giving hints that USC could be the place to be. I have al of the recruiting details including some quotes.

The Trojans had a few games stolen out from under them in 2024 that led to their 7-6 overall record. I have a few games that USC can steal in 2025 that will help them make the playoffs for the first time in program history.

In the third segment, I have a list of 30 players who are the most important to USC's success in 2025.

USC Added Another Playmaker To Its 2026 Class: But Are They Done?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 7 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC added "the best wr in the 2025, 2026, or 2027" recruiting cycle when Ethan Boobie Feaster announced that he'll be a Trojan for the next 3 years on July 4th. Boobie said that Lincoln Riley and Dennis Simmons believe he's the best WR in the land coming out of high school. I have the notes and quotes from his announcement.

Everyone knows USC is Tailback U. I put everything into context when talking about goal line situations. You can pick one running back in USC history to score on a goal line carry with the game on the line, who would you choose? I have 5 names to choose from.

I wrap up the episode with a Monday's Mailbag segment where I read some of the viewer and listener's comments.

USC's Preseason Conference Power Ranking: The Trojans Should Be In The Top Three

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 2 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

No one thinks USC can contend for a conference championship in 2025, however, I have a new power ranking poll that has USC at No.3 behind Penn St, and Ohio St. I make the argument in the show's first segment that USC should be ranked higher than a5 other teams in the B1G Conference.

Does a coach's system make good players great or do the players make the system great? It's a Jimmies & Joes vs the X's & O's discussion with the transfer portal part of the calculus.

I have a recruiting update in the final segment of the show. USC feels like they're in a good spot for Boobie Feaster's July 4th commitment announcement.

USC Has Three Player Representatives Going To Big 10 Media Days: But No Quarterback

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 1 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC will be at the B1G 10 Media Days in a few weeks but there will be one player curiously missing; Elijah Paige, Makai Lemon, and Kamari Ramsey will be there with Lincoln Riley. The quarterback is the face of every program, and especially at a school like USC. I explore the reason(s) why Coach Riley chose not to bring his starting QB.

The Trojans have had some huge monumental recruiting wins so far. In the second segment, I list the biggest wins, and what they mean.

During the show's last segment, I answer questions from the Locked On USC fans in my Mail Bag.

The Lessons USC Learned In 2024 Will Play A Significant Role In 2025

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC was close to being a 9-win team in 2024 and if they want to win 9 or more games in 2025, they'll need to learn lessons from their 1-4 record on the road. The Trojans held 4th quarter leads in every game but one in 2024 and very should have won at least 3 of the 4 they lost. I talk about which lessons Lincoln Riley and team can take away from losing so many close games in 2025, and how it will help them in 2025.

I believe the defense will be USC's strength this season, however, there are a couple of concerns that I want to point out with the linebackers and secondary. In the 2nd segment, I list my concerns at cornerback, at linebacker and with the safeties.

I like to talk about recruiting, even during the current dead period. I have a few names to keep an eye on. July 4th could be another big day for USC's class of 2026.

It's The Dead Period But USC's Recruiting Is Alive And Kicking

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The recruiting dead period has taken effect until July 31st but USC's 2026 is alive and cruising into the summer needing just five more recruits to close out the class. The new recruiting calendar has moved things up quicker, including with the recruits making their commitments. The Trojans are so far ahead of everyone else that there's not much left to do.

USC is a sleeping giant that is trying to wake up and win more games so they can improve the roster with better recruiting. It feels like USC is doing it backwards though. I explain in the show's second segment.

The Trojans have a long lineage of great WRs., however, Big Mike Williams might the best of them all.

USC Has The No.1 Ranked Recruiting Class: But It Should Have More Blue Chip Elite Players

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's No.1 ranked recruiting class is filled with the most elite blue chip prospects in this cycle but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have more. During the show's first segment, I breakdown how the class should be better and why it will be better if they win more games n the field.

The Trojans are known for having some of the best quarterbacks who have ever played; One of them was Sam Darnold. During the second segment I illustrate the parallels between Sam and Jayden Maiava.

In the 3rd segment, I talk about the advantages USC will have when the football scholarship cap increases to 105, as well as what other sports teams will have more scholarships.

USC's Defensive Line Only Needs One Half To Prove How Good They'll Be

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's defensive line is going to be so good they'll only need the first half of the first game to prove how good they'll be in 2025. The talent level and depth is better than its ever been and won't need long to prove it considering the early season competition.

The Trojans have the No.1 recruiting class and it's been fun watching them build the class after going 7-6 the year before. The only thing that has been more fun is watching the Oregon program flounder during the 2026 recruiting cycle. I have all the details and why USC is in great shape and why Oregon isn't.

In the 3rd segmen I break down Athlon sports picks to be the Big 10 champion in 2025. USC is picked to finish 9th behind teams like Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska. The Trojans will play all three in 2025.

USC Is Getting Closer: The 2026 Recruiting Class Is Almost Done Before July 1st

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Trojans 2026 recruiting class already has 30 commitments out of the 35 recruits who have taken their official visits to USC, which means it's close to being closed. Lincoln Riley hosted 10 recruits for their official visit over the weekend, and 9 of them were already committed to the class. I'll tell you who could be next and when it might happen.

USC's offensive line has a a couple of question marks but the schedule will the guys time to prepare for their first real test. I have some goals that I think the offensive line should strive for in its first three games.

I have another top 5 list to talk about in the show's 3rd segment. Which games made your top 5 since 2000?

USC Gets Who They Want: Luke Wafle Took USC Over Ohio State & Penn State!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC won the Luke Wafle recruiting war against Ohio State. and Penn St, strengthening its grip on their No.1 ranked recruiting class, while upsetting other fans bases. The Trojans are assembling potentially one of the best defensive line classes in a long time and I have all of the news & notes with how USC got Wafle.

Jonas Williams has the chance to be very special when he arrives at USC in 2026. On the last day of the Elite 11 Finals, Williams showed off why. In the 7 on 7 setting he went 18-22 and 7 TDs to lead the field of participants.

This week's Friday Rant takes aim at the Buckeye fans who look like Barney Rubble and our upset with USC.

One of the main reasons USC has the No.1 recruiting class is the 2026 cycle is because of players like Elbert "Rock" Hill. On this episode I ask Rock why USC is the place to be.

USC's 2026 quarterback recruiting is in a great place with a chance to secure two elite QBs in the same class; Jonas Williams is already in and Ryder Lyons is ready to make a decision. I have the latest on the the quarterback recruiting chatter in the 1st segment.

Who will be the face of USC's defense in 2025? I make the case for three players in the 2nd segment.

And every Friday I wrap up the week with a Friday Rant. This week's rant has to do with the lack of respect and why so many have none.

USC 2025: Is The Pressure Turning Up Or Down For Lincoln Riley?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley is entering his 4th season as Trojans head coach and there is pressure on him to win more games in 2025. There is one game that can release the pressure. USC has no excuse not to be 4-0 when they head to Illinois and many anticipate the Fighting Illini to be undefeated as well. This could be the game that determines the way the rest of the season turns out.

Which player at every position group is your under-the-radar guy who will come out of nowhere and make someone say, "Where did he come from?" I have list in the show's second segment.

USC is called Tailback U for a reason. The list of great Trojan running backs is long. There's an even longer list of underrated USC running backs, and I have a handful to talk about.

USC Recruiting Is Moving Forward: Who Gets The Last Spots?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's recruiting class is 80% complete and expect two more commits soon, one of them, Talanoa, Ili on Fathers Day. That's means there will be 5 spots left to get to 35. I have the remaining names USC will be focused on, as well as the strategy to finish the class.

Did you know that Lincoln Riley has the 10th best QB in the conference? In the 2nd segment, I try and explain why Athlon's Big 10 Conference position group rankings are the worst so far this offseason.

The show wraps up with some of the best plays in USC history dating back to 2000. I have a handful of memorable moments to share.

USC Is A Trojan Family: Is That Going To Be Enough For Talanoa Ili?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Talanoa Ili will no longer take any more official visits and will play college ball in L.A.; Ili said he will choose between USC and UCLA on Fathers Day, June 15th. It's a USC vs UCLA battle for the best LB in the west, and both schools are using the "Family" approach. I have all the details in the first segment.

Is USC's offseason too good to be true considering their past two years on the field? It's hard to find too many negatives since Lincoln Riley's Trojans went 8-5 and 7-6 respectively. But that hasn't stopped them from putting together the No.1 recruiting class.

Do you know what ESPN's FPI ranking is and where USC is in their FPI poll? I have the notes in the show's 3rd segment.

Locked On's Top 100: How Many USC Players Make The Cut?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 6 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Locked On Network is preparing its first ever Top 100 players list to be debuted in July. I have six Trojan names that I submitted for consideration. During the show's first segment, I'll tell you why these six names deserve consideration, plus I also offer the next four names on USC's Top 10 players on the roster regardless of position.

In the second segment, I have a bunch of notes from the team's first week of summer workouts with S&C Coach Trumaine Carroll before I transition into some recruiting and official visitors news.

Every week I wrap up the Friday show with my Friday Rant. Both are tied to each other, so I have some thoughts on the SEC pushing for a different playoff format, and why it's the worst idea possible for college football except for the USC vs Notre Dame rivalry possibly ending.

The USC Commits Have One Message: It's Time To Shut It Down!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 26 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's 2026 recruiting class is pacing the field and once the recruits commit they're sending a message to rest that of the guys that it's time for them to shut it down too. Over the weekend USC got the news that big Jaimeon Winfield is shutting his recruitment down and will only take his official visit to USC. Others that have shut it down include Shahn Alston, Brandon Lockhart, Esun Tafa, and Keenyi Pepe.

Everyone has an opinion on what USC needs to do if they want to win the B1G Conference, including other coaches who like to speak anonymously. Athlon has a couple of comments from B1G 10 coaches on what USC needs to do show more of in 2025.

There are just 96 days left until the Trojans kick off against Missouri State. And while there might not be 96 questions left to answer before now and kickoff, Lincoln Riley answered a few questions regarding his team this season and I have his answers about the QB position and USC's offense.

USC Has The No.1 Class Because Of The Defensive Side Of The Ball

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 22 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Trojans still have the No.1 recruiting class despite losing its highest ranked recruit, and it's because of the way USC is recruiting on the defensive side of the ball. The Trojans have 30% of the best committed defensive linemen on top of owning 30% of the best defensive backs who are already committed, and the official visits haven't even started yet.

Lincoln Riley's own words will come back to haunt him if the USC/Notre Dame rivalry comes to an end. I have his words on why the series should continue if the B1G Conference gets guaranteed playoff berths every year. One year after making that claim USC still hasn't signed a long-term deal to play Notre Dame forever.

How many of USC's players going back to 2000 deserve to be n the top 25 conversation? The Athletic offered their top 25 college football players since 2000, and there were quite a few Trojans missing from the list.

Why Does It Feel Like USC Is Losing It's Identity And Its Soul?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 21 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

If USC allows its rivalry with Notre Dame to end, then Trojan Football will end up losing its identity and its soul and will have killed one more piece of college football. I have a lot more to say regarding USC's efforts to continue the rivalry and why Lincoln Riley needs to start swinging his bat and not look for a walk in the park type of schedule.

The Trojans will be hosting official visits in a couple of weeks, however, there is another prospect who won't be a part of the 2026 class. USC and Sam Utu are going their separate directions, however, that doesn't mean USC is in a bad place. I have the latest offensive line recruiting update, plus more recruiting news from Hawaii.

In the 3rd segment, I talk about USCs 3rd year players that will need to play a big role if the Trojans are to breakout from their two season slump.

BIG 10 SQUAD - How the College Football Playoff can Impact the USC Trojans

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Is the college football landscape on the brink of a seismic shift? With talks of expanding the College Football Playoff to 16 teams, the debate heats up as experts weigh in on the implications for the Big Ten and SEC. Craig Sheeman and Trent Condon offer contrasting views on whether this expansion dilutes competition or provides new opportunities for teams like the Iowa Hawkeyes.

The discussion also explores the potential role of Nick Saban in a federal commission examining college football, sparking mixed reactions. As the Michigan Wolverines' upcoming season is dissected, Isaiah Hull predicts an overachieving performance, despite defensive losses. Key figures like Jim Harbaugh and Bryce Underwood are spotlighted, adding depth to the analysis.

Tune in for a comprehensive breakdown of these pivotal topics and discover how they could reshape college football's future.

Should USC Change Its Recruiting Strategy Or Just Stay The Course?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 15 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's 2026 recruiting class has been all positive on the way to its No.1 rated class. But now with Xavier Griffin's de-commitment, some are questioning USC's strategy. Ever since Chad Bowden came aboard as USC's General Manage, he's made all the right moves, however, one rule might be coming back to bite the hand with the Midas Touch

Agree or disagree; consistency and discipline are more important than the optics of losing a recruit. I talk about the optics surrounding the decision that asks USC commits to shut down their recruitment.

In the final segment of the show, I take a look at the college football playoff future when it expands as well as who should be the game's first commissioner.

Will USC Get Some More Significant Recruiting News Soon?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 14 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There is some speculation that USC is going to receive "significant recruiting news" soon. The question is what is the news and when will it happen, if at all? I have the details during the show's first segment and offer some thoughts on what to could be.

According to Anthony Jones, Jr., the Trojans have more options in the running back room in 2025 When I say down with Coach Jones recently he shared some insight about the room and what to anticipate this season from his guys.

There could be some big news when the B1G Conference kicks off their Media days in Las Vegas. July 22nd is still a couple of months away, but one team might be in trouble already with more bad news on the horizon.

USC Got Another Linebacker Commitment Out Of Nowhere!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 13 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's recruiting is going so well, they're getting commitments out of nowhere. For the 2nd day in a row, Rob Ryan's room added another linebacker to the 2026 class. The Trojans now have 28 commitments with the addition of Taylor Johnson's pledge. The young man is being recruited to play linebacker despite questions about his size. I have the details in the show's first segment.

Another Top 25 preseason poll came out and USC missed the cut again. However, I think I figured out why, and it has to do with the offensive side of the ball, but not where you'd look first.

USC found out what time it will kick off when they play at Notre Dame on October 18th. It's the 20-year anniversary of the Bush Push Game, and the game will be played under the lights.

USC Added Another Big One To Its Number 1 Ranked Class!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 12 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The USC and Mater Dei recruiting pipeline is working like a well-oiled machine. The Trojans got a commitment from linebacker Shaun Scott strengthening its No.1 class. Lincoln Riley and general Manager Chad Bowden put a recruiting plan into motion and it's working the way they want, especially with the local recruits. In this episode, I explain why USC's 2026 recruiting strategy is working and what's changed compared to the previous years.

Over the last two seasons Lincoln Riley's Trojans have won just 15 games. That's probably why the over/under for 2025 is set at 7.5. That's too low of a bar for the USC standard.

USC's Recruiting Is Causing Problems For The Competition

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 9 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

I like it when USC makes other programs angry and depressed because eventually they'll have to accept that the Trojans football program has too much to compete against. In the first segment, I talk about the different ways other teams' fans deal with a surging USC with regards to recruiting.

I have a post-spring camp 2-deep depth chart in the show's second segment. And each Friday I end the week with a rant. This week I want to know why Michigan is getting off so easy after cheating and trying to cover it up.

USC Will Be A Stronger Team in 2025 With Coach Carroll On Its Coaching Staff

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 8 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC found its next Coach Carroll. Lincoln Riley added Truman Carroll the coaching staff as its next Director of Sports performance, aka, the strength & conditioning coach. Coach Riley and General Manager Chad Bowden chose Coach Carroll for his previous success at places like Kansas St, and because he's "culture guy" that will enhance what the Trojans are trying to accomplish this year and in the future.

If someone told you that USC's head coaching job wasn't one of the top 10 jobs in the country, would you agree? I spend the 2nd segment talking about why it's more than just a top-10 job.

The Trojans football schedule in 2025 sets up well for 9-10 wins, however, there are at least two trap games. I tell which games they are in the show's final segment.

Did USC Do Enough During The Offseason To Be A Top 25 Team?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 7 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Spring camp and the transfer window are closed but it looks like USC did enough work during the offseason and spring to make a preseason top 25 poll. Last year Lincoln Riley kept saying the team was close and now it looks like there are some out there who believe the Trojans are one of the top 25 teams in the country.

Notre Dame just signed a new 12-year deal to play Clemson every year starting in 2027. The USC and Notre Dame contract expires after the 2026 game is played in Los Angeles. In the second segment, I look at the practicality of ending the greatest rivalry in college football after 100 years.

USC has some great game day traditions. I talk about my favorite ones in the show's final segment.

The Trojans have some of the best WRs in the country and some of the credit belongs to WR Coach Dennis Simmons. I review his recruiting during his time at USC and his eye for evaluating talent.

Lincoln Riley and his coaching staff have been acting like a boss on the recruiting trails, and they're anticipating another commitment from one of the best players in the country to close out their week.

USC's 2025 roster got bigger and stronger under Benny Wylie's trained eyes. But just a few days after spring camp closed, Lincoln Riley is looking for a new S&C coach. There is still a month or so to go before the players start running their own practices, so they'll need to know who will be guiding them when the coaching staff can't.

USC's spring camp is over, and the Trojans have some concerns on offense that Lincoln Riley needs to fix to have a bounce-back season. I explain what needs to change in 2025 on offense and how it can help the Trojans' defense.

No commitment for USC this week, but I still have a lot of recruiting information in the 2nd segment.

Let's talk about the USC and the Rose Bowl in the 3rd segment.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC had a great end-of-spring camp weekend that included the Trojan Olympics, seeing players make their NFL dreams come true with the draft and more recruiting news. I have the news & notes from the NFL draft that saw three Trojans drafted with a handful more signing free-agent contracts. USC also found another top-level WR in the transfer portal.

USC's coaches found out that the Trojans' defense is ahead of the offense right now. I'll tell you why that might be a good thing and the best way to end spring camp.

The show's 3rd segment, I talk about all of the weekend's recruiting news and buzz, including a possible reclassification.

USC's Spring Has Been Filled With Good Times And Great Recruiting!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC reached the end of spring camp, but that doesn't mean the competition or the recruiting fun is over. At Saturday's last practice, the Trojan Olympics will take place. This Saturday the team will hold its last practice of the spring at the Coliseum with the families of the players and recruits on hand for a special time. I have all the details in the first segment.

In the show's second segment, I have the next to last practice report with notes & quotes from Lincoln Riley and the players.

There are a lot of battles going on during spring camp, and the guys in the trenches are sharpening iron against each other. But one side of the ball has been dominating. I have the details in the first segment; USC's offensive line is facing the toughest defensive line they'll face all year during spring practice.

USC has rich people problems in the QB room. The Trojans are anticipating two quarterback commitments with its 2026 recruiting class. I have the latest information in the second segment of the show.

USC Made More Roster Moves With Just Two More Spring Practices Remaining

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's spring camp only has two more practices left and the roster is starting to take shape, including with more transfer moves. The Trojans lost one and added one. The Trojans football team lost RS freshman Jarvis Boatwright Jr. to the transfer portal but picked up a linebacker from Penn St, which was needed for depth purposes. The men's basketball team got some more transfer news and I have the details in the show's 1st segment.

With only a couple of practices left in spring camp Lincoln Riley talked about which position groups are settled and which one are still unsettled.

USC's Recruiting Making More Noise With a "Kannon" Shot

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC made some more recruiting noise with a Kannon Smith shot. Zach Hanson added the best offensive lineman in the state of Colorado to the Tclass of 2026. Smith has one of the best offer sheets in the country and chose the Trojans over Alabama, Ohio State., Oregon, as well as many others. I have the details of his commitment.

Coach Trovon Reed is the topic in the second segment and I have an update on the cornerbacks as spring camp continues this week.

USC's recruiting is starting to annoy other programs. I tell you why in the show's final segment.

USC Picked Up An Important Piece From The Transfer Portal

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's GM Chad Bowden used his Notre Dame connection to find a transfer that helped the Trojans' roster get closer to filling its needs with the son of an NFL HOF player. Kennedy Urlacher is the latest addition to USC's roster and will help fill a couple of roles on defense and special teams. I have all the details in the first segment.

The Trojans have a lot of recruiting momentum right now. So much so that even when the recruit can't make it, the family still shows up. It looks like USC has the lead for Talanoa Ili's commitment.

And how much more interesting is the USC vs UCLA game in 2025 now that Nico Iamaleava is officially a Bruin? I have my opinion in the show's 3rd segment.

The Recruits Can't Stay Away From USC

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 18 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

A few from USC's No. 1-ranked recruiting class showed up at practice, including TomTom Topui, Brandon Lockhart, and Vlad Dyakonov, along with QB Ryder Lyons. If it seems like there is always a large group of players and coaches from California on USC's campus, it's because there is always a large group checking things out. On Thursday, Mater Dei's head coach Raul Lara brought his staff with him, and I explain why this is a significant development.

When the transfer window opened, USC knew it'd be making roster adjustments. I have a list of players leaving and a list of players setting up visits to USC this week.

What Is USC's Quarterback Plan In 2025?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 16 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley is considered one of the best QB developers in the game and he knows what it takes to lead his offense. The Trojans have three QBs who are capable of leading in 2025. After USC's 10th spring practice, the Trojans head coach was asked to comment on his QB room's development with one week left of spring camp.

The Trojan Family is a real thing and it's something that can be felt viscerally. in the show's 2nd segment, I'll help you experience what Coach Riley saw and felt at Saturday's Coliseum practice.

USC's secondary has the versatility to use multiple looks, including a 3-safety combination that will open things up with the cornerback competition. I have the details in the third segment.

USC Is Hosting A Transfer National Champion Offensive Lineman

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The spring transfer window opens this week and USC is in the market for a couple of depth pieces. On Monday USC hosted a national champion offensive lineman. Lincoln Riley said the roster is close and he likes what he has, but if the right piece is available they'll take a hard look. I have the details on the latest roster news and whether or not a 3-time national champion and 2-time D-2 All-American is the right fit for the Trojans in 2025.

USC's QB room has what it needs. So then why is Nico Iamaleava's name still being mentioned with USC as a landing spot?

USC's Key To Success In 2025 Comes Down To Consistency

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 11 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Consistency and winning go hand and hand and that's what Lincoln Riley has been looking for from his team this spring. His answers about the team's needs have also been consistent. I have some of Coach Riley's quotes and practice notes from spring camp.

In the second segment, I explain why Jayden Maiava benefits more from not having a spring game in front of the fans, and how it benefits the backups more.

And this week's Friday Rant has to do with analytics. Numbers have a place in sports, but they get overused.

USC reached the halfway point of spring camp with the recruits and committed players back watching practice on a hot day that also saw tempers flare. Recruiting took a day off from receiving a commitment, however, there are no "off days" when USC's staff is recruiting for the class of 2026.

New leaders emerge every year and this year Ja'Kobi Lane is starting to be more vocal. I have the details in the second segment of the show. Plus a transfer portal update on where USC might look for help.

When It Comes To USC's Body Count Is Quality Or The Quantity?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 8 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Another day at USC and another commitment. The No.1 rated class for 2026 added one more defensive lineman to start the week, and more commitments coming this week. USC has 21 pledges so far and the best are still out there waiting to make decisions. I have all of the latest updates.

When it comes to the body count; is the quantity more important than a smaller number of quality bodies? USC is planning to make this the biggest recruiting class in its history. However, does the most mean the best?

The show's 3rd segment is all about linebacker coach Rob Ryan. I have his latest quotes from when he spoke to the Trojans Live crew.

USC's Spring Practices Look Like The Good Ole Days With Big Crowds

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 4 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It felt like the old days at USC's spring practice with the sidelines filled with recruits, high school coaches, and lawn chairs hanging out watching the Trojans' spring practice. Some of the top recruits and coaches from schools like St. John Bosco and Sierra Canyon were hanging out.

The men's basketball team took on Villanova in the quarterfinals of the Crown Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas; and just like the regular season in football and basketball, another late lead evaporated late. I have the details.

The show's 3rd segment concludes with my Friday Rant; It was a great week for USC, but there's still stuff that made me upset that I need to talk about.

USC's No.1 Rated Recruiting Class Just Added Another!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 3 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's recruiting class is multiplying daily. The Trojans 2026 class added another commitment one day after TomTom made his flip from Oregon to USC official. Lincoln Riley and Chad Savage helped Kohen Brown falling love with USC and now he is a member of the No.1 rated recruiting class.

Big General J'Onre Reed commands attention when he talks. In the second segment, I explain why The General is this year's Travis Dye and why his leadership will be his biggest asset.

In the show's 3rd segment, I have a question for Lincoln Riley about his next Heisman winner and USC's 9th.

USC Recruiting Is Banging The Tom Tom Drums!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 2 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC had a perfect day starting with another California commitment before practice started. The Trojans officially flipped DT Tom Tom Topui from Oregon. USC's recruiting class is No.1 in the country, and a couple more commitments are anticipated this week. I have a complete recap in segment 1.

The Trojans were back in pads for practice and the energy level is heating up with the competition between the offense and the defense.

Coach Musselman's squad took on Tulane in Las Vegas and the Trojans advanced to the next round where they will take on Villanova on Thursday. USC had a short bench due to injuries and the transfer portal, but they still overwhelmed the Green Wave.

The USC Running Back Rotation Is Obvious

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 1 Apr 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Is the running back rotation obvious already after three spring practice sessions? Some think they know who will be the Trojans' No.1 running back in 2025. The USC running backs room will be 6-deep if everyone sticks around so depth won't be a problem. But what about the touches?

USC's GM Chad Bowden was flexing again. He was talking about recruiting and how close the 2025 roster is to being complete.

The Women of Troy's Tourney run came to an end in the Elite 8 against UCONN. I talk about what went wrong without JuJu Watkins.

Ja'Kobi Lane Is The Big 10 Conference's Hardest WR To Defend

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

It's only spring practice but Ja'Kobi Lane is doing things that make people wonder if he's human. In front of Caleb Williams and recruits, Lane was making the impossible, possible. I have some notes from the Trojans 3rd spring practice in the show's first segment.

USC's recruiting momentum is hard to stop. The Trojans picked up another defensive lineman following his visit Saturday to watch USC practice. I have all of the information on USC's newest commitment, plus more recruiting news.

The Women of Troy advanced to the Elite 8 without JuJu Watkins and will take on UCONN. The winner will advance to the Final 4 with UCLA waiting.

USC Showcased A Lot Of Talent On The 2nd Day Of Spring Practice

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 28 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC again showed why it's the place to be. The Trojans held the 2nd day of spring camp in front of more elite recruits who saw Drake London show up and watch. I'll tell you which recruits were in attendance. Not only did the recruits get to watch some of the best talent in the country practice, but they also better understood what a day in life at USC looks and feels like.

In the second segment, I have a full Notes & Observations report from Day 2, and the show wraps up with my Friday Rant.

USC Now Has 16 Commitments In Its 2026 Recruiting Class

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

I can't remember the last bad day for USC. The Trojans added another commit to its 2026 recruiting class giving them 16 total with 10 of them from California, and 9 from So Cal. Zach Hanson and the Trojans coaching staff added their 3rd offensive lineman to the class and I have all of the details in the first segment.

In the second segment, I explain why I've seen enough of the offensive line room after one day of spring camp to give a 2-deep rotation. I also talk about why the spring transfer portal window isn't the answer for the Oline room, but is for linebacker depth.

The freshmen class has some dark horses that could see the field in 2025. I have a list of names to discuss.

USC's Defensive Line Is Going To Be A Heavy Lift For Their Opponents

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

The Trojans open spring camp in a few days and the offseason workout results are something these untrained eyes look forward to; The defensive line will be heavier in 2025. In the show's first segment, I have the new weights listed for the defensive side of the ball, and then in the 2nd segment, I talk about the offensive line's weight gains.

This week's Friday Rant has some words of advice for Georgia's head coach Kirby Smart who said some stupid things about California in front of California recruits on a visit to Athens, Georgia.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Trojan fans have every right to feel happy and not worry about what happens with recruiting right now. USC is in a good place between the offseason changes and staffing additions. The show's first segment focuses on why USC fans can be happy going forward with NIL and recruiting.

Chad Bowden and Coach Aaron Amaama, aka Coach Dogg, are helping the Trojans' recruiting efforts with the Poly community. I have a recent example and why there could be another Pepe joining the Trojan Family.

Spring Camp is just a few days away; I have the schedule and and the early preview of the QB competition.

USC's Running Back Room Is Too Deep

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 19 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC canceled its spring football game this season, but would Lincoln Riley be open to playing another team in the spring, similar to the NFL's joint practice sessions? I have my thoughts on why it could and why it won't work in college; That's the first topic of this episode.

Last season USC had too many top-end WRs. They have a similar issue in the running back room this season. Who will be the Trojans' No.1 running back in 2025, and can a recruit start ahead of a transfer?

Not only does USC have the consensus No.1 recruiting class, they also have the most committed Blue Chippers with 10. How many will the 2026 class finish with?

Everything USC Is Doing With Recruiting Is Obvious

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 18 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC is obviously having a very good offseason, highlighted by its No.1 rated recruiting class. But how much does being No.1 in March matter to Trojan fans? In the first segment, I try and quell Trojan fans' anxiety about seeing the early commitments and recruiting success slip away like it did in 2024.

In the second segment, I talk about how USC is closing the California State borders when it comes to recruiting; No one is allowed in until the Trojans have who they want.

USC added another national championship inside Heritage Hall after the men won the Indoor Track & Field championship over the weekend. That plus the men's hoops team has more to play for this season; USC will play in the inaugural College Basketball Crown Tournament being held in Las Vegas. The Trojans will play Tulane in the 1-week 16-team tournament.

What's The Final Cost To Have The No.1 Ranked Recruiting Class

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

USC's recruiting efforts are paying off. In this episode I talk about the costs associated with recruiting the best players in California and across the country. The price of being paid to play college sports is expensive and there are taxes to be paid, and not just a financial tax. Today's high school and college players are being paid like the pros, and some are having a tough time adjusting to the criticism.

After Losing 6 Games USC Figured It Out

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes it takes losing to admit that doing things your way isn't the best way to do things. USC lost 6 games in 2024 and they learned the hard lesson. USC made the necessary moves this offseason, but why did it take so long to make the moves necessary?

15 Trojans took part in USC's Pro Day in the rain and I have some notes and their results with a month left before the NFL Draft.

Mens Hoops survived and advanced after beating Rutgers in 2OT to open B1G 10 Conference Tournament play. Their reward is a chance to knock off Purdue less than 24 hours later.

USC Football Recruiting Is Surging!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In March, USC has the No. 1 recruiting class for 2026, and it looks like they're getting ready to surge further ahead with some of the best talent in California on its campus taking unofficial visits. The Trojans started the week with an offensive line commitment and could see one or more commitments soon. I have the details on this episode

USC now has the consensus No.1 class on the three major recruiting services when they added their 11th verbal pledge. Oregon partially helped the Trojans' ranking when the Ducks lost another commit that may end up in Cardinal & Gold on signing day. I'll tell you who, what, and why it happened.

The show's final segment looks at USC's ability to learn from their mistakes in the close losses and carry the knowledge over into 2025.

USC's Football Pipelines Need To Be Re-Opened For Business

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 7 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC's high school football pipelines are either dried up or leaking talent to other programs. However, that might be changing in 2026 with at least one feeder program. I explain why Mater Dei and their head coach could start sending more of their players to USC than they have recently.

The Trojans' cornerback room has a lot of new faces looking to make a name for themself, including their position coach Trovon Reed. I have 3 position groups that I'll be watching during spring camp, but one more than the others.

The Trojans Are Going For Its Biggest Class Ever!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 6 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley and Chad Bowden set a goal to recruit the biggest class ever at USC, which means bringing in over 30 recruits to fill out the No.1 ranked class of 2026. I have the names of the players USC is attempting to sign in the show's first segment.

Segment 2 looks back at 2024 and the best plays of the season; I have my list of plays that stood out over others.

The men's final home basketball game of the season ended on a good note and it probably secured their spot in the B1G Conference tourney with one game to play at UCLA.

No One Knows About USC's WRs

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC is synonymous with quarterbacks, and wide receivers, but others doubt the Trojans at both position groups in 2025. Do the Trojans have a void at WR?

If the B1G Conference sends 4 teams to the playoffs in 2026 when the format expands to 14 teams, will USC be one of the 4? I discuss why the Trojans are a dark horse in 2025 during the show's 2nd segment. And I wrap up the show with more Jen Cohen, Chad Bowden and Lincoln Riley discussion.

Take A QB's Brain Over His Arm Strength

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Whatever makes a QB successful in college and the NFL, I agree with Tom Brady; it's about a QB's speed and ability to read a defense more than anything else. If Jayden Maiava wants to take the next step in his development, then it starts in the film room.

Jen Cohen talked about the football program and what's necessary for USC to have a championship-level program. I have her answers and my reaction in the show's second segment.

This week's Friday Rant has to do with keeping college football's traditions and rivalries alive. If USC and Notre Dame want to continue to play annually, they might have the SEC to thank.

Start Strong Finish Stronger

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

It's not about how you start but how you finish. Lincoln Riley can help his team finish stronger if he starts the season with strong play-calling. I explain in detail during the first segment.

USC football usually starts the season strong and ranked in the preseason polls. However, the Trojans have failed to finish ranked for the 2nd consecutive season.

The 3rd segment wraps up the episode by me calling Nick Saban a hypocrite, even though he is 100% right in his opinion.

Quarterback Questions?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC and Lincoln Riley are known for having elite QBs every year. The question heading into 2025 is, does USC have one of the top 10 QBs returning? I take a look at the current situation and compare it against USC's schedule.

In the second segment, I have some recruiting news, plus, where the coaching staff is emphasizing their time and who are getting offers.

Both of the Trojan basketball teams won on the same night; The Women of Troy beat up Purdue on the road winning their 14th game in a row. Meanwhile, the men won on the road against Nebraska. It's their 3rd win on the road in conference and both teams take on UCLA next.

USC has already started its winter conditioning this offseason and the spring game will be here sooner than later. So who will you be focused on the most when the spring game is played? I have a couple of players on defense that have piqued my interest in the first segment.

Now that the "Honeymoon Phase" is over between Lincoln Riley and the fans, I want to know how close or far away the Trojans are from contending for a championship. In the 2nd segment, I use Notre Dame and Ohio St. as the benchmarks.

The best running back duo to ever play together is the 3rd segment's hot topic. I'd take Charles White & Marcus Allen over LenDale White & Reggie Bush.

When does the honeymoon end between USC and Lincoln Riley? The Trojans are heading into year 4, and fans are still willing to make excuses for the team's lack of on-the-field success. I spend the first segment explaining why the honeymoon is over.

Who is Rob Ryan? I peel back the curtain and discuss his personality and why he's the right guy to coach at USC.

In the 3rd segment, I want to know why fans get mad when they see a way too early preseason poll before the last game of the season was even played.

USC Is Paying So Lynn Is Staying

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley retained his most important coach when USC extended D'Anton Lynn's contract and shutting down any speculation that Lynn would leave for the open Penn St. job. In the first segment, I explain why this was a significant development.

USC's 2025 schedule is much easier than the 2024 slate and it could open up the opportunity for Lincoln Riley to consider starting a true freshman at QB. I'll tell why Husan Longstreet has a chance to become USC's QB1 when the Trojans host Missouri St.

The week always ends with a Friday Rant and I have one that's full of positive rage.

USC Coach Got Poached

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC's coaching staff lost another assistant coach when the Washington Huskies added Taylor Mays to its staff. Mays will be Washington's new safety position coach and I explain how the loss of Mays affects USC.

How many difference makers are there on Lincoln Riley's roster? I have a list of players and I talk about some of the past greats that USC has had on both sides of the ball for context.

Eric Musselman's squad has won two in a row and I explain why the team is ready to turn the page and make a run toward postseason play.

Bishop The BallHawk

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC's 2025 defense added another key piece to its depth chart when they signed safety Bishop Fitzgerald out of the transfer portal. The former North Carolina St. defender is considered a playmaker and a ballhawk, which is something the Trojans lacked in 2024.

One of the Trojans' young offensive linemen was recognized by the FWAA as a freshman All-American. Elijah Paige is just the most recent example that USC still knows how to recognize talent and develop its recruits.

The show wraps up in the 3rd segment with a recap of the incoming 2025 class with the latest additions included.

USC Adds A Playoff WR

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC needed to add some experienced depth to its WR room this offseason, and they found one in the transfer portal to start the week. Prince Strachan(pronounced Strawn) just finished playing for Boise St in the playoffs and has two more years of eligibility left, will join Ja'Kobi Lane, Makai Lemon, and veteran Jay Fair. I have the details.

The Trojan fans are still waiting for the next linebacker coach to be announced. In the second segment, I ask a "what if" question; What if Penn St. calls D'Anton Lynn for the same role now that Tom Allen has moved on to Clemson? I have reasons for the move as well as why Lynn should stay at USC.

I have some Locked On USC emails in the 3rd segment.

Tailback U 2.0?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC added a running back to its 2026 recruiting class. 4-star RB Shahn Alston from Ohio committed to USC on national TV during the Navy All-American Game in San Antonio and I have all of the details.

In the show's second segment, I explore the possibility of Riley's offense transitioning to more of a running offense than a passing offense. I have some evidence that points to, "yes" if we're asking the question.

The last segment asks one question to the fans, "What's talking USC so long..."

Sneaky Good?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

USC's last two recruiting classes have placed a big emphasis on the defensive line and heading into the 2025 season they have the potential to be sneaky good, and perhaps even dominant. That's where the coaches will take over developing the talent. I explain why the defensive line room has the numbers to play a long season.

The General Makes The Call

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 9 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley has a new General to make the calls on the offensive line. USC picked up their 2nd Olineman out of the transfer portal and I have the details.

Zach Hanson has 18 guys in the offensive line room to work with when spring camp opens and I have my way-too-early 2-deep based on availability today.

The football season is over but the men's & women's hoops teams were in action.--I'll tell who won and who didn't.

USC Hired A Recruiter

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 8 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley filled another position on his staff with the hiring of Chad Savage to be USC's next TE coach taking over for Zach Hanson. One of Savage's strengths is his relationships with the Southern California high school recruits and coaches. I explain why this hire is one of Riley's best.

In the second segment, I have a few names for consideration to be USC's next front-office general manager.

And what's up next for the USC football program and college football in general? I talk about revenue sharing and it could affect the size of the rosters.

USC Has A New 5-Star QB!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 7 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Not only did Lincoln Riley find his QB in the transfer portal, but he also found a former 5-star with a familiar name. I'll tell you what USC is getting with the recent addition.

USC's football staff is back to work with the dead period over. The coaching staff is visiting high schools and making offers for the 2026 recruiting cycle, I tell you where they are and why.

It's coming! USC is adding another GM to its front office staff. I explain why it won't make any difference and why in the show's final segment!

Didn't See That Coming

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 6 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000

The dead period ended and USC has been hosting guys in the transfer portal. One guy they did not anticipate going into the portal was Emmanuel Pregnon. I talk about the latest developments regarding USC's best offensive linemen in 2024 and why Pregnon is leaving USC after deciding to come back before the bowl game.

In the second segment, I talk about two new Trojans from the portal; an offensive lineman and another running back. I explain what it all means.

What is a True Trojan, and are there any left in college football?

USC TROJANS POSTCST: The Trojans pull one out with a 21 pt 4th scoring in the final seconds to win 35-31

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 28 Dec 2024 08:00:36 +0000

The Trojans got big performance's from Ja' Kobi Lane 7 catches for 127 yards and 3 TD's and Makai Lemon who pulled in 6 balls for 99 yards.

With Woody Marks heading to the NFL the Trojans gave the ball to true Freshman Bryan Jackson banged out hard yards 16 carries for 66 yards and a TD

The defense kept the Trojans in the game when Jayden Maiava was throwing interceptions (3) The Trojans defense picked off Marcel Reed 2 times in the first half and held the Aggies to just 7 points when it mattered in the 4th qtr. Jayden Maiava was inconsistent 22/39 4 Td's 3 int's but made some clutch plays at crunch time in the 4th including the game winning TD strike to Kyle Ford.

The last game of the 2024 season is here: USC vs. Texas A&M. The Trojans need to do a few things on offense to be successful, and they should come out on top.

Using the bowl game practice time to help a program develop the younger players for the following season is becoming a thing of the past with the transfer portal and NIL. I explain what's changed with winning programs.

Friday's Rant is all about long lines and overpriced La Vegas food.

Third Best

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

The Texas A&M Aggies were the third-best team in Texas in 2024; however, they're still pretty good on both sides of the ball. With two days left before the Trojans and Aggies kickoff, I dive deeper into what each team has to do if they want to win.

Has USC QB play in 2024 forced Lincoln Riley to change his play-calling when it comes to passing routes? That's the show's topic in the second segment.

And in the 3rd segment, I talk about why college football needs to trim their rosters for financial reasons.

USC Has Too Many

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

One thing Lincoln Riley did differently in 2024 was pick his team captains on a game-by-game basis. But sometimes when there are too many leaders, things can be inconsistent when it comes to messaging and on-the-field production. I talk about the team captains, the effect they had this season, and the lack of consistency.

The transfer portal has a couple of days left before it closes, but the Trojans added another player and I have the details.

And since it's the college playoffs, I have my top-12 Christmas movie playoff field that I break down in the third segment.

USC Needs Help

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley has taken care of some of the needs on the defensive side of the ball, including the defensive line and cornerback, through the transfer portal. He also has some key pieces returning in the secondary, linebacker, and on the offensive line. In this episode, I discuss the other areas that need Santa's help.

The show's second segment talks about why it's taking so long to name USC's next LB coach.

And the last segment highlights players that will be featured in the bowl game, and why.

USC Did It Again!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC may not have made the playoffs, but they sure did have a good weekend. Late last week the Trojans added one huge defensive tackle out of the transfer portal. On Saturday before the playoff games were played, the Trojans stole the news of the day by adding another defensive tackle. Those moves combined with two starters returning to play in 2025 has USC fans looking forward instead of backward.

USC Made A Huge Move In The Portal

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC's defense just picked up one of their biggest needs out of the transfer portal when they signed 6-foot 4, 340 lbs Keeshawn Silver. But the defensive side of the ball also retained one of their best players in 2024 when Kamari Ramsey chose to come back for another season. I have all the details and what it means in this episode.

Plus, it's Friday which means I have a Rant to get off my chest. What do you USC and Alabama fans have in common? I let you know in the 3rd segment.

Riley Quickly Moved On

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

It did not take Lincoln Riley very long to find an offensive line coach replacement for Josh Henson. Coach Riley stayed in-house and promoted TE Coach, Zach Hanson to take over the room less than 24 hours after the job became available. I talk about the pluses and minuses of Riley's quick decision.

The offensive line room picked up a huge addition when Emmanuel Pregnon made his intentions known that he'll return to play for USC in 2025. I have all of the news, notes, quotes, and why USC's offensive line in 2025 will be fine. Plus there were other roster additions too, including an RB and a punter.

The show's third segment talks about USC's other significant need if the defense wants to reach its full potential.

Not A Good Day For USC

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

It feels like it's going from bad to worse right now for Lincoln Riley and the USC football team. The Trojans are down two position coaches and two Branch brothers. Josh Henson is taking the same role at Purdue under new head coach Barry Odom while Zachariah and Zion are in the transfer portal. Today's episode examines the latest losses and whether or not they are significant. What did USC really lose from a production standpoint?

Riley's Next QB For USC

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley has two quarterbacks for 2025: Jayden Maiava and true freshman Husan Longstreet, who is scheduled to arrive in January and is available for spring camp. However, USC still needs at least one more scholarship quarterback from the transfer portal. I discuss the type of quarterback Riley could be interested in.

The show's next segment looks at USC's most pressing portal needs, starting with the offensive line. Josh Henson is stacking young talent, while a few of his guys have developed into NFL prospects. I look at the possibilities and who is available and taking a visit to USC.

They're Coming Home

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC's secondary recruiting and the transfer portal have one thing in common; it's focused on players from Southern California. In the show's first segment, I explain why the December portal is a necessary evil, but why I also hate it.

In the second segment, I take a look at players who need to make an impact on both sides of the ball and how it can impact the roster. Is the bowl game A'Marion Peterson's chance to force more playing time, or will the Trojans go back to the portal for another running back?

The men and women played basketball games at Galen and both teams had blowout wins. I have all of the notes and highlights.

"They're Thinking About It"

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

The football team is back at practice preparing for the Las Vegas Bowl matchup with Texas A&M and Lincoln Riley had a few updates regarding his roster and who will be available for the game. When asked about any more potential bowl game opt-outs, Coach Riley said some players are still thinking about it.

This season isn't over yet, however, the Trojans 2025 schedule was released. In the second segment, I explain why anything short of 9 wins with an easier schedule could put Riley on the hot seat.

Friday's Rant closes out the episode and it has to do with recruiting and how we talk about it on signing day.

What USC Just Lost

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 9 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

The early signing period is over, but the transfer portal season is officially open for the next three weeks and I have the latest news on who is and who won't be available when USC and Texas A&M meet in the Las Vegas Bowl later this month.

With so many players leaving and using the transfer portal, Lincoln Riley will need to prioritize his own list to make his roster championship-level.

In the show's third segment I explain why I agree with Su'A Craven's thoughts regarding the USC fan base.

Thanos's Recruiting Threat

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 6 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC finished the early signing period with the nation's 14th-ranked class and Lincoln Riley made sure to focus on the the trenches. One of the guys coming is already recruiting for 2026 and sent a strong message at the same time.I also break down the newest Trojans who will be playing on the offensive and defensive lines and how it will affect recruiting going forward.

The second segment's focus is on the QB situation. Lincoln Riley said he will need to recruit a QB from the transfer portal. The question is what type of QB. I have a few suggestions.

This week's Friday Rant is focused on recruiting, USC, linebackers, Notre Dame, and what they have in common. It's not a great common denominator.

USC's Recruiting Was Inevitable

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 5 Dec 2024 06:15:00 +0000

The first day of the early signing period is in the books and the Trojans got mostly everyone they wanted. I have the full breakdown of USC's 2025 recruiting class.

USC also lost another QB to the transfer portal, as well as one member of its coaching staff and how it affected recruiting. Will the defense take a step back now that they need a new linebackers coach? I also take a look at USC's in-state recruiting and why it needs to be better.

Who Is Coming To USC And Who Isn't

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 4 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

It's the first day of the early signing period and I have a complete preview of what to anticipate. I tell who is coming from the high school ranks as well as the latest with the transfer portal goings-on.

It's a busy time of the year. Not only are players moving around, but others are being rewarded for their efforts. 13 Trojans made All-Conference. And I don't agree with many of of them.

Here Comes The Crazy Season!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 2 Dec 2024 11:00:00 +0000

The regular season might be over for USC and there is still a bowl game left to be played. However, the early signing period starts in a few days and things tend to get crazy with recruiting, NIL, and the transfer portal. In the first segment, I cover the recruiting news that has some good news and some not-so-good news, including a 5-star de-commitment.

In the 2nd segment, I take another look at Lincoln Riley's playcalling. The question is, can it be the right play call if the right personnel isn't being used?

I had three keys to USC's success against Notre Dame going into the game. I talk about those areas and how they affected the game.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 1 Dec 2024 04:40:00 +0000

USC dropped their 2nd in a row to Notre Dame when the Irish found a way to score 14 points in the 4th quarter despite only producing 5 yards on offense. I explain how, why, and what happened to the Trojans in their 49-35 loss to end the regular season

USC TROJANS POSTCAST: The Trojans fall apart in the 2nd half throwing 2 pick 6's in the 4th

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 1 Dec 2024 00:56:25 +0000

The Trojans ran a fantastic 2 minute drill at the end of the first half driving down the field with under a minute on the clock to score a touchdown to tie the game. They answered back one more time in the 3rd to tie it at 21 on Jayden Maiava's 2nd QB sneak for a TD He also threw for 3 TD's (2 to Ja'Kobi Lane) but things really fell apart for USC in the 4th when Maiava threw 2 pick 6's ( one for 99 yards and one for 100 yards) He finished the day 27/49 for 360 3 TD 2 INT. The Trojans defense was also not up to the task of stopping the Notre Dame running game as they ran for 258.

Hit Notre Dame Where It Hurts

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC has a chance to make Notre Dame feel a lot of pain when they play the final game of the regular season. A Trojans win would probably eliminate the Fighting Irish from the playoffs and that would be painful for a team that has only lost one other time. I explain how Jayden Maiava and the offense can make that happen.

In the second segment, I take some time to talk about the men's hoops team. They had a rough Thanksgiving in the desert when they lost to the St. Mary Gaels. It was a poor game from USC and it could be a sign of a long season ahead.

The show's 3rd segment is this week's Friday Rant. Anyone who thinks USC and Notre Dame should stop playing doesn't understand why that can't happen. I explain why everyone is wrong who thinks that way.

An Ugly Win Over UCLA Is Still A Win

The Trojans found a way to win an ugly game against UCLA and win the first road game of the year. USC beat the Bruins 19-13 and I have a full-episode instant reaction to the win.

USC TROJANS POSTCAST: USC figures out a way to squeak one out over rival UCLA 19-13 at the Rose Bowl

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 24 Nov 2024 07:52:02 +0000

It was an ugly first half for both offenses the Trojans went 0-3 in the red zone coming away with just 9 points on 3 field goals. The @nd half was only a little better after the Bruins scored the first TD of the game the Trojans answered back with a TD to Ja Kobi Lane from 4 YDs out (his only reception of the night) which was set up by the best play call and execution of the night as Jayden Maiava threw a screen pass to Makai Lemon who then hit Kyron Hudson for 39 YDs. They would add a field goal to ice the victory

A Bruins Trap

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC won't look past UCLA one week ahead of their rivalry game with Notre Dame, so there is no way to fall into a trap game with bowl eligibility on the line. A Trojans win sets them up for a bowl game and the chance to ruin Notre Dame's playoff bid.

USC vs UCLA has produced some great games over the years and I have a handful that I like the most. In the second segment, I take a look back at some of the greatest moments in the Crosstown Showdown series that USC leads 52-32-7

This week's Friday Rant is all about Trojans' Tribalism.

A Finishing Mentality

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

When one of USC's most accomplished players is asked for his opinion on what's from USC's team and their ability to win close games, you pay attention to what he says. Matt questions the team's mentality and if they have the toughness necessary. In the first segment, I dissect Matt Leinart's view and his confidence in Lincoln Riley.

The show's second segment examines the right attitude and discipline needed to play in this rivalry game against UCLA. Coach Deshaun Foster likes to talk about smart players at UCLA, however, his team makes more mistakes than USC.

The show wraps up with some more recruiting news. We're just a few weeks away from the early signing period and things are still very fluid with USC's 2025 class.

Marvelous USC Recruiting!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC has a lot of tools in its recruiting toolbox. It has everything from a sizeable bank account to big-time donors, to some of the most influential captains of any industry, including Hollywood. Lincoln Riley and Eric Henderson are looking to avenge earlier recruiting losses with Jahkeem "Thanos" Stewart. I have all of the details.

In the second segment, I have some practice information and USC's challenge with the Flu. it's also time to talk about UCLA's trash-talking head coach Deshaun Foster. I have USC's rebuttal for the "smart guy" over in Westwood.

I wrap up the show with an update on USC's bowl possibilities. El Paso, Los Angeles, San Antonio, or Las Vegas; where and who do you want to play? There's a chance USC could UNLV in LA. But there is also a chance for USC to finish their season where they started it against another SEC team.

This Is USC's Fight

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

It's Rivalry Week No. 1. Saturday night at the Rose Bowl USC and UCLA will fight for the Victory Bell. Both teams are playing good defense, however, the Trojans are better offensively and that's why they're opening as a TD favorite on the road. In last season's game, USC never showed up for the fight. In the first segment, I talk about what kind of fight this game will be.

USC has had a few players stand out above the rest this season and that's the topic in the second segment. I tell you who USC's MVPs are from both sides of the ball, and who made the runner-up list.

In the 3rd segment, I talk about some men's hoops following their home loss to former Pac-12 member Cal.

USC Has A Better QB

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC is making quarterback changes constantly. Late in the season, Lincoln Riley changed starting quarterbacks, and late in the 2025 recruiting cycle, he swapped out one elite quarterback prospect for another. USC's recruiting class got a better quarterback prospect when Husan Longstreet committed one day after USC's win over Nebraska.

The Trojans looked like they had a lot of fun in their win over the Cornhuskers including when the defense stepped up and helped win a 1-score game. I highlight some of the top players from Saturday's win.

In the third segment, I start rivalry week by talking about the USC vs UCLA game that will be played at the Rose Bowl.

See USC Run, See USC Win!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 17 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000

USC evened its record on the season at 5-5 following their 28-20 victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers because they ran the ball and they stopped the run defensively. I have a complete instant reaction, including my take on Jayden Maiava's 1st start as USC's QB.

USC TROJANS POSTCAST: Jayden Maiava leads the Trojans to victory over Nebraska 28-20

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 17 Nov 2024 01:20:08 +0000

Things started a little bumpy for the Trojans and Jayden Maiava making his first start for USC, as he threw a pick 6 to former Trojan Ceyair Wright. The Trojans answered back with a Maiava TD pass to Zach Branch his 1st as a Trojan. The Trojans would lead again on a TD pass to Kyron Hudson but the Huskers would tie the game before the break. Jayden Maiava would throw his best pass of the day to Duce Robinson for a 48 TD strike as the Trojans regain the lead. Maiava would seal the victory with a keeper for TD with 2:45 to go in the 4th. he was 25-35 for 259 and 3 TD's 28-20 the final.

How USC Will Win

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC needs to play like Indiana when they host Nebraska this Saturday afternoon. When the Hoosiers beat the Cornhuskers 56-7, they did it with a balanced offense, using a backup QB, while running the ball slightly more than passing. USC is in a similar situation with QB Jayden Maiava who is making his first start as a Trojan.

Nebraska's head coach Matt Rhule had some very complimentary things to say when talking about USC's roster. I have the quotes.

And every week ends with a Friday Rant. This week takes aim at the high school recruits who are ruining the future of college football.

A Tough Recruiting Loss

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC's recruiting class took a hit when local product Hayden Lowe flipped from USC to Miami out of the blue. Lowe was USC's highest-rated defensive recruit at a position of need, and from all accounts had shut down his recruitment. I'll tell you what changed in the first segment of the show.

NIL plays a bigger role in recruiting today than anything else so unless USC decides to go all in, and pay recruits, Lincoln Riley shouldn't anticipate winning too many recruiting battles. In the third segment, I discuss Nebraska's mystery offense with a new play-caller with some quotes from D'Anton Lynn after practice.

USC Is Back!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

The Trojans aren't having a great season when it comes to wins and losses, but I can officially say "they're back!" Before Lincoln Riley finishes his 3rd season as the head coach, USC finds itself on probation until November 2025. The Trojans self-reported a secondary violation when one of their special teams analysts broke a rule that no longer exists. I explain what happened and what it all means in the show's 1st segment.

In the second segment, I have some practice notes & quotes leading up to this weekend's game against Nebraska. The USC WRs who spoke with the media all agreed on one thing when talking about Jayden Maiava. I talk about what the players mean.

When Lincoln Riley took over the program he said his first-year roster would be the worst one he'd have as USC's head coach. The Trojans won 11 games in year 1 and just a total of 12 games since then. I explain why in the show's final segment.

More Changes Coming At QB

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

We're getting closer to the early signing period and it looks like Lincoln Riley is getting ready to make another move at QB--This time with the 2025 recruiting class. I've been talking about it since the spring, but the Husan Longstreet smoke is getting thicker. I'll tell you why and what's changed with the Trojans' future at the QB position.

USC and the college football family lost a legend when John Robinson passed away this week. In the 2nd segment, I remind everyone what made Robo Coach great and a Trojan Legend.

The show's final segment is all about positivity and how USC's offense will perform at home against one of the best statistical defenses in the country when they take on Nebraska. I tell how many yards Jayden Maiava accounts for and if Woody Marks breaks the 1000-yard barrier.

Lincoln Likes To Be Uncomfortable

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

When you coach at places like USC or Georgia you anticipate the pressure that comes with the job. Sometimes the pressure makes things uncomfortable. Lincoln Riley explains why he likes to have uncomfortable conversations, and I have my thoughts on the subject.

USC and Nebraska play this coming weekend with both teams coming off a bye week and a loss.Even though the Trojans are starting a new QB, they're still opening as an 8.5-point favorite at home.

In the show's 3rd segment, I ask a question regarding USC's brand recognition and if it still matters in today's world of NIL and pay-for-play. I also make a bold recruiting prediction.

The Elephant In The Room

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 8 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

It was only a matter of time before the first story about Miller Moss and the transfer portal surfaced. But with USC adding a bye week the same week they changed starting QBs, the rumors have started. I discuss why the rumor is plausible but not true.

In the second segment, I update USC's recruiting situation less than 30 days before the early signing period starts. I tell you why the 2025 class is in good shape.

And every Friday I have something to get off my chest with my Friday Rant. This week, I shine the light on high school basketball recruiting scholarship availability, plus the cost of keeping the best freshman All-American defensive end on your roster.

USC's Cancer Killer

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 7 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Jayden Maiva was recently named the new starting QB, and 48 hours later he spoke with the media. I have a complete breakdown of what he said and how he's approaching the opportunity he's earned. Maiava said, “You’re either the cure, or you’re the cancer, you know? So like, all I try and do is be the cure for the team.” I explain what that means in the 1st segment.

In the 2nd segment, I ask a couple of questions regarding Lincoln Riley's use of the QB for the next three games. Is there a two-QB solution in the future?

And how bright is USC's future on defense upfront and at linebacker particularly?

Jayden Maiava Is QB1

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 6 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC has a new QB1. Lincoln Riley said Jayden Maiava has continued his improvement and that it's his time to start when the Trojans host the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I'll tell you why Riley decided to make the switch this late in the season.

Coach Riley said not to expect too much to change with the playcalling because Maiava and Miller Moss's skill sets of Maiava “are not all that different.” I have a different opinion in the show's second segment.

Whenever you make a change with the starting QB who is also a locker room leader, there are risks involved with fracturing the team's chemistry. I explain why in the 3rd segment.

Solving USC's Problem

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 5 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

USC has a problem or two on offense, and I have a solution and it's not about making a QB change. In the first segment, I explain why a new offensive coordinator is the best solution to Lincoln Riley's problems on his side of the ball.

In the second segment, I have a ranking for USC's starting QBs, going all the way back to 2000. Caleb Williams and Carson Palmer are the top 2 QBs, The Trojans have had some great ones to play the position, and some have been better than others.

The basketball season tipped off during the football team's bye week. The No. 3 ranked Women's team went to France and beat No. 20 Ole Miss, while the men opened at home against UT Chatanooga with an easy 77-51 victory. I have the highlights from the men's 1st win in the Eric Musselman era.

Lincoln Riley Needs To Make A Change

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 4 Nov 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Lincoln Riley needs to make some changes at USC, and it starts with himself. But I explain why his pride might be getting in the way of doing things differently on offense.

Right now everyone wants to see a change at QB and a stronger commitment to the run game. I explain why and what changes Lincon Riley needs to make in the show's 2nd segment.

I also have an update on recruiting. USC's season is starting to affect its 2025 recruiting class.

Another Pathetic Road Loss

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 3 Nov 2024 07:00:00 +0000

USC played on the road again, and that means they lost again. The Trojans led in the 4th quarter but ended up losing 26-21. The Trojans trailed 20-7 at halftime and only gave up 6 points in the 2nd half, but that was enough.

Too many turnovers and not enough running the ball led to another pathetic and annoying loss to a team USC has no business losing a game to.

USC TROJANS POSTCAST: The USC Trojans blow another 4th quarter lead losing to Washington

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 3 Nov 2024 03:57:48 +0000

The Trojans had a nice 3rd quarter after an abysmal first half, scoring twice in the 3rd to grab a 21-20 lead into the 4th. But a nice drive keyed by Woody Marks running the ball (22 carries for 123 on the day) comes away empty after the Huskies stoned USC 3rd and goal on the 1 and 4th and goal on the 1. Miller Moss throwing 3 interceptions also not helpful. He finished the day going 30/50 for 293 and 2 TD's in the 26-21 loss as the Trojans are still winless in the road.

USC Can Make A Statement At Washington

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 1 Nov 2024 10:00:00 +0000

If USC does just a couple of things in the road against Washington they'll make a statement and get their first road win of the season. I explain what USC must do if they want to beat the Huskies starting with the defense.

With just a handful of games left, Coach Riley has to decide when it's the right time to play the younger players and develop them for the future. I asked Riley about weighing the future versus trying to win with a .500 record late in the year.

This week's Friday Rant takes aim at the LA fans who don't know how to enjoy a championship.

USC's Last Chance

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 10:00:00 +0000

USC has one final chance to win a true road game when they play the Washington Huskies this weekend. I explain what needs to happen if the Trojans want to pull off the win in a tough environment. Despite being winless on the road this season, while the Huskies are undefeated at home, USC is considered the favorite to win.

One position group that's gotten better later in the season is the offensive line. In the second segment, I talk about their growth and why they're now ready to play in one of the loudest environments this Saturday against Washington.

The show's third segment take a way too early look ahead at USC's postseason chances.

USC Is Taking A Lot Of Body Blows

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 10:00:00 +0000

The Trojans are getting into the late rounds of the fight and they've already taken quite a few body blows with players missing games due to injury. This week the Trojans are preparing for the Washington Huskies who play a physical brand of football similar to Rutgers. After Tuesday's practice, Lincoln Riley addressed the team's health and I also have an update on why he closed practice to the media.

The show's second segment takes a look at how Lincoln Riley isn't helping his players down the stretch. It has to do with clock management, and it's not just my opinion. I explain in detail how Riley could be putting his players in harm's way.

I also have a positive recruiting update in the show's 3rd segment. I explain how the 2023 & 2024 classes have panned out. Plus, USC's 2025 class is considered the 11th-best class nationally. I'll tell you who they will close out with to raise that ranking.

Just Play The Younger Guys!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 10:00:00 +0000

It's time to let USC's younger players do what they can and learn on the job. Against one of the top running backs in the country, USC's run defense held Kyle Monangai well below his season average, and it started up front with a young defensive line. I explain why it's time to continue transitioning from the veterans to the guys who will be USC's future.

In the second segment, I talk about why I support Lincoln Riley as USC's head coach, but not his latest decision to kick the media out of practice for the rest of the year.

The Trojans have not won a true road game all year. On Saturday they'll play their final road game in Seattle, and I explain why they need to win.

USC's Offense Went Sideways

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 10:00:00 +0000

USC's defense has had some issues late in games, however, most will point to the Trojans' offense that has let them down this season. On this show, Ryan Young from TrojanSports.com joined me to try and figure out why Lincoln Riley's offense isn't working as well as it has in the past. We discuss, both sides of the ball, and in the second segment, I ask Ryan if USC can lose 4 games in a row, and what it would mean.

USC will host Rutgers Friday night, but just a few miles away, The Dodgers are hosting the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the Fall Classic. Ryan answers my Dave Roberts rant while I wonder if the Dodgers and Yankees can trade managers.

TROJANS POSTCAST: Trojans blow another lead late after a blocked field goal losing 29-28

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 00:44:08 +0000

The Trojans lead 21-7 at the half and did not allow any rushing yards in the first half. But Mary land came out in the 3rd and narrowed the gap to 7 and in the 4th they scored at the 9:56 mark and complet4ed the 2-pt conversion to make it a 6 point game. USC held on 4th down and set up Lantz for a 41 yard FG which was blocked leading to a quick Maryland Touchdown and after the extra point a 1 point lead. USC had just under a minute to set up another field goal try but had to go for it on 4th and 1 and the pass was broken up Maryland holds and wins.

A Must Win For USC

USC and Maryland have never played before and the Trojans are trying to avoid a 3-game losing streak. In the first segment, I have my prediction and some notes about the game and what USC needs to do in order to win on the road.

The show's second segment talks about the defense. I tell you what's good and what needs to improve in the second half of the season.

And every Friday, the 3rd segment ends with a Friday Rant. USC's football fans have too many excuses and none of them are any good.
