Everything is on the line Saturday with USC facing Oregon plus special guest Marcus Allen

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham, RJ Abeytia and Makena Arteaga are back in studio talking about the most important game on the Trojans' schedule and potentially the most important game of Lincoln Riley's tenure at USC, a Saturday showdown with Oregon. The Ducks had that inexplicable loss two weeks ago on the road at Oklahoma State and SC is coming off a poor road performance and narrow win against Big Ten bottom dweller Rutgers.

All of the off-season talk, all of the resources poured into the program, all of the optimism about the defense with Gary Patterson taking over or special teams with Mike Ekeler in charge all of that means nothing if the Trojans can't secure a victory on Saturday. This is a must win game for the Men of Troy, a pass/fail test that could determine the level of success for USC this season and potentially Riley's future as head coach.

The crew gives their thoughts on what went wrong on offense, defense and special teams against the Scarlet Knights, take a look at the challenges this Oregon program brings to the table and why they feel this Saturday will be the defining moment of the entire season.

We have a late special guest that will be joining the show, NFL Hall of Famer and USC Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Allen!
