In a new 78-minute episode, co-hosts Michael Castillo and Alicia de Artola are joined by ReignofTroy.com contributor Trent Goodrich to talk through feelings on USC’s FCS scheduling and Clay Helton’s standing among national coaches.

What’s in store with this USC podcast:

• Michael, Alicia and Trent start the show by running through some new reviews, then jump into the news.
• Obviously, the big discussion of the week in Troy is FCS scheduling. Is it a problem that USC has scheduled UC Davis? What does it say about the Trojans and the management of the program?
• Minor news nuggets include Reggie Bush’s status with USC, votes progressing the bill on student-athletes profiting off their own likeness through, watch lists and new season win total over/unders to discuss.
• A tweet from Chris Low of ESPN created an interesting discussion over Clay Helton, who isn’t as bad as you might think against the AP Top 25 compared to the rest of his peers.
• The mailbag this week features questions on national award candidates, position groups with questions in Fall Camp, preferred defensive schemes, USC’s recruiting prospects in the four and five-star range, and a fake (but not-fake) feud with the Peristyle Podcast.
