USC knocks off LSU in Vegas, Leftover Week 1 Thoughts & What's Ahead in Week 2

Maybe USC's defense did get better this offseason? In this college football podcast episode, we recap a strong performance from the Trojans in a 27-20 win over LSU behind an improved defensive effort and impressive showing from new starter Miller Moss. What does the win mean for USC and how should the LSU fan base take the loss? Plus, a quick look back at our lingering thoughts from Saturday, with more time to digest the action. Is Pitt's new offense legit? Should we pump the brakes on the Avery Johnson hype at Kansas State? Is Boise State's defense straight up bad? Could Tulane's rushing attack be a secret weapon? Is Cal in trouble in the ACC? Could Northern Illinois shake up the MAC race? And, to close things out, a quick lookahead at a loaded slate of Week 2 games.
