On this special edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com publisher Ryan Abraham welcomes in a pair of guests to talk about different aspects of USC football. First up is CBS college football color commentator Charles Davis, who will be on the broadcast for USC at Rutgers this weekend along with legendary play-by-play man Brad Nessler. Davis is a former Tennessee defensive back that has worked in television covering college football and the NFL for the past 30 years. He talks about what he has seen from the Trojans so far this season and also gives a glimpse into what has stood out from his film study on the Scarlet Knights. Next we have a fun conversation with Fred Segal, author of the newly released book Freezing Cold Takes College Football. Fred has been active on social media the past decade or so, pointing out hot takes that turned cold after being proved categorically wrong. He shares some of his favorite cold takes from over the years, including what many members of the media were saying after USC hired Pete Carroll back in 2001.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.
