Summary

On this latest edition of Tunnel Vision USCFootball.com's Jack Smith and Connor Morrissette (aka Triple-Double) are back in studio to preview what needs to be USC's get-right game, a road trip to Berkeley to take on the California Golden Bears. This season Cal has actually been sneaky good on offense, especially the ground game, but not as stout on defense. The Trojans have struggled most of the season on defense and lately the offense has been much more pedestrian. Can USC finally turn things around and get a much needed win against this long-time rival?

Jack and Connor talk about what a weird week of practice it was, with Lincoln Riley out sick for a couple of days before returning on Wednesday. Riley addressed the media and talked about pushing himself too hard before the Utah game and several other topics. They also discuss what defensive coordinator Alex Grinch had to say about what went wrong in the Utah game.

Both hosts will be in the Berkeley for this one and talk about how they think it will play out and give their picks against the spread (Trojans are favored by a 10.5 points).

This is a podcast version of our video show Tunnel Vision that you can find on our Facebook or YouTube pages.
