Summary

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast off a long bye week for the Trojans. Chris spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' talking about the marquee blue-blood matchup that will be happening in the Coliseum this weekend, a sold-out game. Shotgun takes the time to discuss his bye week activities, which featured him attending a college football game off the clock. The two analysts spend the first half of the show breaking down No. 15 Michigan (4-1, 2-0), including its elite run game and run defense. No surprise that Michigan is powered by the run game on offense, currently No. 16 in the nation at 237.8 yards per game and 6.39 yards per carry, sixth in the country. Michigan has rushed for 17 touchdowns, tied for eighth in the country with USC. Alabama transfer Justice Haynes currently leads the Big Ten with 654 rushing yards and eight scores, third in the conference. Jordan Marshall is averaging 5.2 yards per carry as the backup with three rushing scores as well. After a break, the Helium Boys talk a little bit about their recent Top 30 Most Important Trojans midseason re-rank, looking at some of the biggest risers and fallers. They also take on some listener questions with some Take It or Leave It. Finally, Shotgun is asked to blind rank some iconic Halloween and horror monsters and discusses shark cage diving.
