In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio breaking down the massive USC assistant coach press conference, where 11 Lincoln Riley assistants each spoke to the media for approximately 15 minutes each. Starting with defensive coordinator Gary Patterson we heard from all of the defensive assistants including the new linebackers and special teams coach Mike Ekeler, new safeties coach Paul Gonzales and new defensive tackles coach Skyler Jones. On the offensive side the coaches were all familiar faces from running backs coach Anthony Jones to tight ends and inside receivers coach Chad Savage. The crew digs into some of the top storylines from all of the interviews, including player injury updates, hints into the depth chart, philosophies on the defensive side of the ball and what the goals are for the 15 spring football practices. Speaking of spring ball, we now know the Trojans will kick off their workouts on March 3, going four days a week with a pause in the middle of March for spring break. With practice just around the corner, our hosts discuss what they are looking to see when the guys hit Howard Jones Field next week.
