Family Feud Podcast: Spring in full swing

A week and a half remains of USC's spring football practices.

The Trojans have installed a version of the Air Raid offense and picked up the pace of practice under new offensive coordinator Graham Harrell. So what has been discovered through the first two-thirds of USC's spring camp? And what should be focused on during the final five practices in April?

Keely Eure and Shotgun Spratling return with the latest edition of the Family Feud Podcast to discuss where the Trojans stand after 10 spring practices and how far along the offense is under Harrell. The Feudsters return to their in-season format as they survey the good and the bad from the first three weeks of practice.

In the return of the Stock Up/Stock Down segment, Keely and Shotgun both give praise to the quickly-progressing offense with Shotgun focusing on the offensive synchronicity. They also remain high on some early-enrollee freshmen that have already been able to make a quick impression despite only being on campus for a couple of months. While Shotgun also highlights some players that have made positive gains as they return from injury, Keely admits that the new coaching staff members have been better than she anticipated from Harrell's offense to the fiery ways of running backs coach Mike Jinks and the hands-on approach of defensive backs coach Greg Burns. As they discuss the coaching staff, the USCfootball.com duo note that USC's coaches have been actively attacking some of the issues the Trojans consistently had last season. Keely once again fails to try to incorporate a Stock Neutral as Shotgun argues that what she describes is a Stock Unchanged.

Stock Down is scattered around the team as Shotgun looks at the ball placement of Jack Sears and what he deems to be a "weird" usage of a stockpile of linebackers. The Trojans' lack of depth is discussed as is the significant drop off from the first team to the second team on the offensive line -- an element that has affected the quarterback play based on which grouping each quarterback is paired with on a given day.

In the 'Heard it on the Sidelines' segment, Shotgun looks at how USC's offensive installation plan has been described while Keely notes a couple of defensive players being boisterous for two different reasons. The USCfootball.com duo talk about how much the Trojans are currently being graded on a curve this spring, whether there is really a quarterback competition and discuss a couple of changes that have taken place this spring during the 'Agree/Disagree' portion of the show.
