Interviews with Frenemies: USC

Penn State makes its first trip to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in well over 30 years on Saturday. While the Lions are taking on a new opponent, I got the chance to chat with an old friend about the Trojans. I’ve known Sports Illustrated’s Ryan Phillips for nearly 20 years and welcome the chance to hear his thoughts on the Trojans, a team that he has closely followed forever (and once was a walk-on for the university’s basketball team). But Ryan also has a unique perspective on the Big Ten, having graduated from Indiana University and still serving as one of the co-hosts for Assembly Call, a popular IU basketball podcast.
