On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia, and intern India Otto are back in studio talking about USC's quick turnaround from the week zero season opening win against San Jose State to a Friday night Coliseum showdown against Fresno State. The Bulldogs, led by former USC linebackers coach and two-time FCS national championship winning head coach Matt Entz, will be looking to pull the upset against this Lincoln Riley squad. Fresno State is big up front and plays a tough, gritty brand of football that should put these Trojans to the test, especially after a short week to prepare.The crew takes a look at what they are expecting out of this Trojan squad that would love to forget the fourth quarter effort from the SJSU game and what they know about this Bulldog team that went 9-4 last season. It is also the first chance for USC to play a Pac-12 opponent as a member of the Big Ten and of course this is the first ever game for the Bulldogs as a member of their new conference.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.
