Trojans Wire previews Utah game and its spicy plot points on national YouTube show

We joined @MarkRogersTV at the @VoiceOfCFB for our weekly #USC show. It’s #Utah week, and Kyle Whittingham is trying to plant seeds in his players’ minds.

It’s USC-Utah game week here at Trojans Wire. We joined our friend Mark Rogers at The Voice of College Football for our weekly USC show on Mark’s USC channel.

We obviously had a lot to talk about during Utah week. We looked at the Utes and their struggles, noting how they fell short against UCLA. We explored how USC needs to approach this game on a tactical level, and we mentioned which players need to step up and give the Trojans more than what they have provided the team in the first six games of the season.

We also looked at Kyle Whittingham’s eye-opening comments about USC at the start of the week, and why the Utah head coach said what he said at this point in time.

We also noted that skeptics of USC can’t be allowed to change the goalposts in terms of shifting their standards or expectations for USC after six games. The team needs to continue to be judged according to preseason expectations. Get all of this and more with Trojans Wire at The Voice of College Football.

USC first-half season overview: Trojans simply refuse to lose under Lincoln Riley, Alex Grinch

We noted #USC’s toughness with @TJAltimore @LBCTrojan and @TPrangleyJr at the @VoiceOfCFB. Catch the USC postgame show after the Utah game this Saturday.

It really has been something to see: USC not only winning, but winning without its offense playing great games. We knew the offense had loads of talent, but could this team win when the offense wasn’t humming along and playing its very best?

We have received a clear answer to that question through the first six games of the 2022 college football season. The job Alex Grinch has done with this defense has been phenomenal. Who would have expected USC to not give up at least 30 points in any of the first six games of the season? You would have found very few people who would have expressed that much faith in Alex Grinch. Yet, he has pulled it off. The Trojans aren’t just allowing fewer than 30 points, either; they are averaging fewer than 20 points allowed so far this season.

USC is getting contributions throughout its defense and throughout its roster. The team is far from fully healthy, but guys are stepping up.

Trojans Wire discussed this and related topics after the Washington State game on The Voice of College Football.

Be sure to catch the USC postgame show after the Utah game this Saturday, and after every USC game this season, with co-hosts Tony Altimore, Tim Prangley, and Rick Anaya:

USC alumnus talks to Washington State chancellor about administrative challenges

#USC alumnus @TJAltimore talked to Washington State Chancellor Elizabeth Chilton. Get a great inside look at the @VoiceOfCFB on how administrators do their jobs.

It’s always great to get a look inside the curtain at how people in positions of influence do their daily jobs.

How do they make decisions? What is their model of communication? How do spheres of influence and knowledge connect with each other, and when do administrators try to stay in their own lanes and not intervene in the work being done by other university leaders in other departments? Knowing when to have a conversation, and knowing when to stay out of the deeper details of daily work — so that the experts in other departments can do their jobs well — are part of the challenge of daily administrative oversight at a major university.

Have you ever wondered how these pieces fit together? You get a great chance to explore this reality at The Voice of College Football.

USC alumnus Tony Altimore, who has experience as a consultant and owns a considerable understanding of the workings of American universities, was able to arrange a conversation with Washington State Chancellor Elizabeth Chilton. USC football postgame show co-host Rick Anaya joined the conversation to add layers of perspective and insight.

It’s a terrifically informative discussion about the daily work of an administrator, and it’s not boring!

Here’s the show.

A reminder: Join Tony Altimore, Rick Anaya, and fellow co-host Tim Prangley for the USC football postgame show right after the Washington State game on Saturday night, and after every USC football game this season:
