Author: USCFootball.com - Ryan Abraham, 247Sports, USC, USC Trojans, USC football, College Football April 8, 2026 Duration: 1:30:55
Despite corporate differences and new jobs, Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are reunited once again, returning to the microphones to talk about USC's recently completed spring camp and what they learned about the 2026 squad during the five-week period. While they may no longer work for the same company, the podcasting duo aren't skipping any of the classics, opening up with the Two-Minute Drill  where Shotgun talks baseball and Chris talks about the changes taking place in his job. The boys of Helium then jump into prior comments and stocks talking about in depth...about depth...of the offensive line as well as discussing the coaching style and teaching of the Trojans' new defensive staff. They give their spring takeaways with highlights and concerns. Jayden Maiava's leadership and continued improvement is discussed as well as what to make of the freshman class that featured 31 incoming players for the spring. The Helium Boys then dive into the second half of the show to get Shotgun's reaction to some post-spring camp themed Take It Or Leave It topics. The hosts also discuss naming rights as the show ends with the Overtime period where Shotgun has to blind rank the best naming opportunities in the Bloom Center.
