Episode 198: More Spring Injuries

Reign of Troy Radio returns with a full episode to discuss the latest from spring camp, including USC's loss of Viane Talamaivao.

Here's what's on tap in this USC podcast:

• The RoT Crew open the episode with some admin thanks to Alicia's impending trip overseas. What possible link to USC football could there be in Paris?
• Jumping into the big news from spring camp, Michael and Alicia talk through the fallout of Viane Talamaivao's torn bicep, including the rise of midyear enrollee Andrew Voorhees as a result.
• USC's offensive line conundrum may have found a simple solution with Nico Falah's back injury potentially forcing a move back outside to tackle. Is this a blessing in disguise for the Trojans?
• Wide receiver Tyler Vaughns has picked up the pace over the last week of spring practice, battling with Michael Pittman for first team reps on the outside. What's changed and what does it mean for USC?
• In basketball news, Andy Enfield got an extension through 2023 and Bennie Boatwright declared for the NBA Draft. Michael and Alicia sift through the implications of both headlines.
•  The latest results of RoT Madness have the duo debating some juicy Final Four match ups. How much credit does Matt Leinart deserve for his USC success? Is Marcus Allen vs. Junior Seau even a question?
• This weeks mailbag includes questions on Vavae Malepeai's place in the offense, the battle to line up opposite Iman Marshall, the spring game format and much more.

The next installment of RoT Radio will be a carcast from USC's scrimmage on Saturday, discussing the happenings from Howard Jones Field. To get involved, you can call the RoT Rant & Rave Line at 213-373-1872.
