Helium Boys: Why not to fret over USC's defense after 49-30 win over Louisiana
The Helium Boys, Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino, are back behind the microphones breaking down the latest USC contest after the Trojans completed their non-conference schedule, improving to 3-0 on the season with a 49-30 victory over Louisiana late Saturday night in the Los Angeles Coliseum. They also preview the USC's upcoming matchup where it will travel across the country to take on Rutgers.The podcasting duo opens with the Two-Minute Drill where Chris discusses being ready to move forward to Big Ten play while Shotgun talks about how the youngest and oldest people on the roster are the ones leading the Trojans to a 3-0 record so far.The boys of Helium jump into listener comments and corrections before breaking down the Trojans' up-and-down victory over the Ragin' Cajuns -- one where there was a clear separation between what USC's starters and reserves are capable of at this point. They talk about the shining freshmen while some veterans are lagging behind expectations.Shotgun and Chris then, after a break, take a look forward at USC traveling to the birthplace of college football for the upcoming matchup with Rutgers and an 0-2 Scarlet Knights team that hasn't looked good but has one of the nation's top performers so far this season in wide receiver KJ Duff.To close out the show, Shotgun takes on Trevino's Take It or Leave It segment before an Overtime period of New Jersey-themed Take It or Leave Its and then a surprise Double Overtime quiz show period where Shotgun must name creations that ultimately killed their creator.
