In this episode of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde talk about the Trojans kicking off USC Fall Camp and what they would like to see accomplished by Lincoln Riley and his coaching staff. They start off the show going over the latest news, with the USC athletic department making a new hire. Big 12 executive associate commissioner Ed Stewart, a former All-American and national championship winning linebacker from Nebraska, joins Mike Bohn’s department as Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director for Football Administration.They also acknowledge the enshrinement of Tony Boselli into the NFL Hall of Fame, USC’s 14th NFL Hall of Famer, the most by any program. Boselli was the No. 2 overall pick in 1995 and the first ever pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Turning to fall camp, Coach Hyde talks about this team coming together and becoming an entirely new family. He loves that the squad is having early practices in the Coliseum, giving the players and coaches an opportunity to connect with the great tradition of the program and workout on the field that created so many legends (like Boselli). He wasn’t as fond of some of the early morning practices, but Riley told us this week it was a good opportunity to mix things up for the players and sometimes getting your work done early opens up the rest of the day for other activities. The big question for Hyde is how Riley can change the face of the program so quickly, something that will be difficult to do but needs to be done. He says that on the practice field it won’t just be the coaches evaluating the players, it will be the players evaluating each other. It should ramp up competition for spots on the depth chart and according to the coach, “Everyday is game day because you will be competing for your job.”The guys also talk about the increased depth on the team, allowing Riley to have the best players go against the best players in practice, ramping up the competition in the workouts.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.
