The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball's second four-game losing streak in the last three weeks after the Trojans were swept at Nebraska following a disappointing midweek loss at Long Beach State. They also talk with USC pitching coach Sean Allen and look at what USC needs to do to bounce back with a trip to Cal State Fullerton Tuesday and a weekend series against Purdue coming up. In the first half of the show, Allen talks about the Trojans beating themselves in a road sweep at Nebraska and what they have to do to get back on track. The pitching coach also discusses why USC has struggled on the road where the Trojans are now 8-10 this season. Allen also chats about what Mason Edwards continues to do so well, the mechanical issues Grant Govel was fighting, the return of Rohan Kasanagottu, the development of Ben Cushnie and the timing of a potential injury return by Michael Ebner and Matthew Morrell. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' four-game losing streak, including continued road woes, and discuss how USC must return to being the hunter rather than the hunted now that they have slipped to No. 23 in the rankings. Shotgun also discusses whether USC's hosting chances are officially over. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings and statistical categories, including a concerning offensive statistic and why Andrew Lamb could be due for a breakout. Finally, the podcasting duo preview a big upcoming week with another road midweek game and a series against a Purdue squad that is ahead of USC in the Big Ten standings.
