Helium Boys Podcast: USC finally wins true B1G road game, Michigan State preview & ranking Greek Mythology movies

The Helium Boys are back from the road! 

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return to the remote studio to break down USC finally winning a Big Ten road game outside Los Angeles with Saturday's 33-17 victory over Purdue. It marked USC's first win in the Eastern Time Zone since 2012. 

Shotgun spends his 'Two-Minute Drill' discussing the unique rain delay that caused this game to be delayed more than three hours and the vintage drainage system at Ross-Ade Stadium that led to a dry field. Chris uses his time to praise the USC fans that made the trek to West Lafayette and finally got to see a Trojan win on the road after struggles last year. 

The podcasting duo then break down the positives and negatives with a hearty "Stock Up/Stock Down" segment, discussing among other things USC's three interceptions and the celebration of the most notable one along with the impact the tight ends are having. The pass rush that produced 31 pressures and a run game that got stronger as the game are also discussed.

In the second half of the show, the Helium Boys dive in to a preview of this weekend's late-night matchup with Michigan State (3-0). Michigan State is currently No. 69 in the ESPN Football Power Index with a projected win total of 5.5.
