Summary

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Ryan Abraham, Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") and intern India Otto are back in studio taking a detailed look at USC's next opponent, the Michigan Wolverines. After Michigan's early season road loss at Oklahoma, the Wolverines have been playing better football and bringing along five-star freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood. USC had a great 4-0 start to the season before getting derailed at Illinois two weeks ago. Both teams have aspirations of making the college football playoff, but a loss on Saturday likely would derail those dreams. For the Trojans, this is easily one of the most important games in Lincoln Riley's tenure. With a bye week to get healthy and work on some of the Trojans defensive issues, it is imperative that Riley's squad comes out and plays good, clean football against one of the biggest brands in the Big Ten. USC has yet to have a signature win in its new conference and could get one if the Trojans can take care of business Saturday in the Coliseum. The crew talks about what USC was able to do during the bye week to get healthy while getting ready for Michigan, what some of the major matchups are against the Wolverines and finish the show with their score predictions for the game.

0:00.0	Hey Trojan fans, it's time to get into the huddle with the Parastile podcast.
0:11.6	Since 2008, the Parasstyle podcast has been your ticket for year-round coverage of the USC football program.
0:20.4	With multiple shows per week in a wide range of experts,
0:24.1	no one covers the Trojans like the Peristyle podcast. And now here's the host of the
0:30.5	Paristyle podcast, USCFootball.com publisher, Ryan Abraham.
0:40.9	Hello, Trojan fans.
0:43.7	Welcome to another edition of Tunnel Vision.
0:49.9	I am your host, India Auto, aka Automatic, here alongside with Triple Double, Connor Morissette, and the boss man himself, Ryan Abraham.
0:53.7	We've got another special show for you guys tonight.
0:56.1	We will be previewing the Michigan Wolverines, taking some live calls. We want to hear from you.
1:02.2	So as always, leave your questions, comments, concern in the chat. We're live on YouTube and Facebook,
1:07.5	and we will be taking live calls tonight and discussing what USC needs to do to get a win this weekend. Guys, how are you feeling? Feeling pretty good. I love that India just embraces the automatic nickname. We all have nicknames. It's good. Triple double. It's a really good one. Automatic's great. You got to have a nickname. Boss man. I like my boss man. That's pretty good. But yeah, we're excited.
1:27.7	We had to buy week last week, so we didn't do a show previewing the game. But we get to do one this week. And, of course, it's a very, very uber important, I guess you could say, game against the Michigan Wolverines. And the record number 15 in the country right now, USC, trying to get back into the ranking. Certainly a setback a couple weeks ago when the Trojans lost on the road as a pretty much a touchdown favorite in Champaign.
1:52.6	And now need to come back.
1:54.3	We saw Illinois have a very terrible game against Indiana, losing by 53 points, bounce back and beat USC.
2:02.3	I think USC has to do the exact same thing, lick their wounds, get healthy during the
2:06.6	byweek, and now realize that this game is the most important thing possible for USC.
2:12.5	You've got to come out and play Big Ten football against a team like Michigan that's going to try to push you around,
2:19.0	like basically Illinois did up front.
2:21.8	This one is as important as it gets for me, Connor.
