Episode 232: USC vs. Colorado Fallout

Reign of Troy Radio returns with a full episode breaking down USC's Pac-12 South-clinching win over Colorado.

• The episode opens with a discussion of how knowing the outcome of a game before watching it can change your perspective, as Michael and Alicia grapple with the negativity around USC's win.
• For once, the injury news around USC is all positive, with no new injuries sustained during the Colorado game. What is the status of Stephen Carr and Chase McGrath?
• With USC creeping up the rankings, do the Trojans really have a chance at making the playoff? Are they a playoff-caliber team?
• The RoT Crew dive into a discussion on USC's win over Colorado: Is USC wasting Ronald Jones II? Who bears more responsibility for the nervy outcome, the offense or defense? 
• Reviewing this week's Over/Under, Michael's bid to close the gap on Alicia's lead appears to have taken a hit.
• It's basketball season, which means it's time for some quick basketball discussion after the Trojans won the season opener against Cal State Fullerton. But what's going on with De'Anthony Melton?
• The episode finished with a full mailbag, including takes on the Colorado game, questions about Jack Jones and USC's special teams woes.

The next episode of Reign of Troy Radio will drop later this week to preview USC's rivalry game against UCLA. Then a bonus Crosstown Podcast with the guys over at the What's Bruin Show will follow.
