Summary

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino are back behind the microphones for another edition of the Helium Boys Podcast to break down and react to the first couple of weeks of fall camp for the 2025 season. The duo talk about the lingering questions about the offensive line and whether the fate of the season could be decided by the court system as well as break down where the Trojans turn with their nickelback position after a non-contact injury to senior Prophet Brown. They also discuss USC being unranked and chat about movies -- both the best of this year, none of which Shotgun has seen, and classics that Chris has yet to view. The episode opens with the 'Two-Minute Drill' where Chris and Shotgun decide to hop into the season with a blind run, trying to hit two minutes without a stopwatch running. Chris discusses his bread-free campaign and the Trojans not being ranked in the top 25 while Shotgun discusses the offensive line. The Helium Boys then break down each of the top fall camp storylines. After a break, Chris gives some of his stock risers through the first two weeks of fall camp before the podcast duo answer your mailbag questions discussing the team sack leader, biggest impact newcomers, deep rotations offensive line coach Zach Hanson's coaching style and more. Shotgun and Chris then go on a lengthy discussion about movies new and old. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠!
