In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and Makena Arteaga are back in studio talking about USC getting the season started on Saturday with a 42-26 victory over San Jose State. Reactions to the win were mixed, with impressive performances by some high profile freshmen but also a disappointing finish by the reserves in the fourth quarter. The crew talks about what their takeaways were and what they think it could mean for the upcoming out of conference games as well as the remainder of the season.Following Tuesday's practice we heard from head coach Lincoln Riley, quarterback Jayden Maiava, offensive linemen Elijah Paige and Justin Tauanuu and running back Waymond Jordan. Ryan, RJ and Makena discuss what they had to say about the game and share their takeaways from the media availability.Riley and company don't have much time to dwell on the season opener with the dangerous Fresno State Bulldogs coming to the Coliseum on Friday night. We take a look ahead at what Fresno State and head coach Matt Entz brings to the table and what sort of challenges the Bulldogs can pose to the Men of Troy.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.
