In this special airport edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham chats with Chris Trevino following USC's 45-37 road victory over Arizona. Chris was in Wildcat Stadium to witness the game in person and he chats with Ryan from the Tucson airport about everything he saw and heard from the Trojans victory.
The guys discuss what was a record-breaking night for quarterback Caleb Williams who threw for a career best 411 yards and 5 touchdowns, giving him 10 touchdown passes over the last two games (both on the road). He put up those crazy numbers despite not having his top-two receivers in the lineup with him as both Jordan Addison and Mario Williams made the trip but did not play against Arizona. Williams also had a shuffled offensive line protecting him with Andrew Vorhees out, Justin Dedich moved to his spot at left guard, Jonah Monheim moved from right tackle to Dedich's place at right guard and Mason Murphy making his first start at right tackle.
Defensively it was yet another game giving up over 500 yards, something defensive coordinator Alex Grinch can't be happy about. USC was without linebackers Eric Gentry and Ralen Goforth and rush end Korey Foreman and the defense wasn't able to overcome the losses, allowing 7.9 yards per play to the Wildcats.
And of course the guys discuss another horrendous call by Pac-12 officials that caused head coach Lincoln Riley to go on a tirade, yelling at the officials as the team was heading into the locker room for halftime.
