Summary
In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and intern India Otto are back in studio talking about the Trojans nearing the end of spring football 2026. The team was out on Howard Jones Field Tuesday and Wednesday morning for practices No. 12 and No. 13 respectively, and now there are only two workouts left coming up on Friday and Saturday mornings.
The crew gives an update on the injury situation, with a few new names added to the list but still nothing serious with everyone expected to be able to participate in off-season workouts this summer. They also talk about some of the drills that were run during the open portions of practice this week, including a fun looking punt coverage drill where gunners tried to down the ball as close to the goal line as possible without letting the ball go into the end zone.
Head coach Lincoln Riley spoke on Wednesday morning and they discuss what he said plus what stood out from the offensive players media scrums on Tuesday and the defensive players earlier this morning.
They also discuss the new SP+ rankings that came out, with the Trojans coming in at No. 13 in the country and why there is optimism that USC could be ranked even higher with the improvements made on special teams.
