On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern Riley Sager are back in studio breaking down USC's first road and first conference victory of the season, a 42-35 clunker over Rutgers. The Trojans were not able to play a clean game on Saturday, but took advantage of some major Scarlet Knights mistakes to turn what could have been an inexplicable upset into a rather unsatisfying victory.Quarterback Jayden Maiava missed on some easy throws but he did have a pair of touchdowns with no interceptions and the USC run game was effective most of the game. The real issue was on defense and special teams where miscues stacked on miscues, allowing Rutgers to move the ball up and down the field and even convert a long 4th and 21 with a 40-yard fake punt conversion. Penalties were also a major issue, with USC picking up 8 flags for 76 yards.The crew discusses everything that happened in the game and what this rather poor effort means for the rest of the season, including next weekend's all-important matchup with the Oregon Ducks.This is the podcast version (audio only) of our Tunnel Vision episode.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.
