They give their thoughts on what they saw and heard and how much this suboptimal Trojan effort impacts their prognosis for the rest of the 2023 college football season.Head coach Lincoln Riley remains optimistic that this is a team that can turn things around, fix the issues and win the Pac-12 conference. The guys talk about what Riley had to say after the game, during his Trojans Live appearance and also after practice on Tuesday and if they agree with his assessment of this 6-1 USC football squad.They also heard from defensive coordinator Alex Grinch and several players and they discuss what everyone else had to say following this tough loss.Looking forward, two-time defending conference champion Utah comes to the Coliseum on Saturday and the guys talk about the level of importance that rests on this contest considering Riley lost to the Utes twice last season and need to bounce back from their worst effort of the season.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!Thanks to Trader Joe's for sponsoring the Peristyle Podcast!Make sure you check out USCFootball.com for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
