Trojans: Wired podcast previews Utah-Oregon with Ducks Wire editor

.@Ducks_Wire editor @ZacharyCNeel joins our podcast to preview Oregon-Utah. Follow Ducks Wire for complete coverage of that game.

It’s USC-UCLA week, but it’s also Utah-Oregon week in the Pac-12. It’s Showdown Saturday, with the Trojans and Bruins playing in Southern California, and Utah going to Eugene to face the Ducks in the day’s other huge Pac-12 collision.

The Trojans: Wired podcast is looking at both games. We recorded a separate episode on USC-UCLA. In this specific episode, we look at the Utah-Oregon game which follows USC-UCLA on the Saturday schedule. It’s a late-night Pac-12 After Dark kickoff at Autzen Stadium in Eugene.

Our friends at Ducks Wire are covering that game, and there is fresh speculation that Bo Nix will not play. We recorded this podcast before the Bo Nix speculation cranked up, but there’s still a lot of interesting stuff on the game with Ducks Wire editor Zachary Neel.

Strong chance USC-UCLA could be a late-night game, which would be awful

#USC – #UCLA was put on a 6-day hold by the TV networks. The outcome is bad for the #Pac12 and could get much worse for us and @Ducks_Wire

It is not a surprise — or a problem — that the upcoming USC-UCLA football game was placed on a six-day hold, meaning that the scheduled kickoff time and the assigned television network will not be disclosed until Sunday, Nov. 13 (or at least no later than the 13th). It was and is unlikely that a start time would be disclosed before Nov. 12, when another Saturday of games unfolds.

The problem is that the Pac-12, which is trying to return to the College Football Playoff for the first time since the 2016 season, will have reduced exposure in the pursuit of that playoff bid.

We have full reaction to the announcement of the six-day hold for the USC-UCLA and Utah-Oregon games, with an explanation of why this is such an embarrassment for the Pac-12:
