Summary
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino return to the studio to discuss the Trojans first scrimmage period of spring football, getting the lowdown from the offensive players and coaches after Tuesday's workout. The guys talk about how the offense came out stagnant early in the scrimmage before coming together and turning things around. Quarterback Caleb Williams broke off a long run and tight end Malcolm Epps caught a touchdown in the redzone.
Speaking of Williams, he talked to the media on Tuesday and said that he was going to try and focus on taking off and running less, with an emphasis on staying in the pocket and finding the open man. He talked about running too much last season, but also said there were times where he stayed in the pocking waiting for a receiver to break free of the coverage when he should have cut his losses and just ran for whatever yards he could. Williams was also asked about his number, No. 13, that happens to be shared by wide receiver Michael Jackson. Neither player knew what the outcome will be, but we do know at least one of them will have to switch numbers before the season starts because you cannot have two players with the same number on the same side of the ball.
The guys also talk about the tight end position after talking to tight ends coach Zach Hanson plus Jude Wolfe and Malcolm Epps following Tuesday's practice. As of now it looks like Epps has been holding down the 'Y' position, playing out wide, while Wolfe has handled the H-back spot (with Epps said he handled that spot like a grown man). We heard from Hanson about how those guys have progressed plus he gives his thoughts on the team coordinating special teams by committee.
Quarterback Miller Moss had some interesting things to say about USC's offense this year compared to last year. He said the team currently has been performing well in the red zone as opposed to last year, dropping the nugget that they never really worked on red zone offense before. The guys also talk about the latest players to be "gold-plated" and what receiver Kyle Ford said about the receivers blocking more this spring.
Ryan and Chris will be doing regular podcasts together going forward, so make sure you send in your questions addressed to them at podcast@uscfootball.com.
