Instant Analysis from USC’s Tuesday Practice of ASU Week

In this edition of Instant Analysis, USCFootball.com reporters Jack Smith and Chris Treviño discuss news and notes from USC's Tuesday practice of the Arizona State week. The two first talk about the weather and a surprise mariachi band appearance behind the camera. It was a beautiful day and the music was vibey. Jack and Chris also touch on defensive coordinator Alex Grinch's press conference. Grinch spoke about the health of the team's linebackers, specifically noting that he expects to have Mason Cobb available on Saturday against the Sun Devils. Cobb spoke to the media as well, making his first press appearance since the injury he suffered in the opener against San Jose State. The Oklahoma State transfer said that he feels "really healthy" and is excited to be back on the field with the post-bye week energy. Cobb also spoke on the idea that USC will be seen as villains on the road, saying that he likes road games more than home games and likes "being the bad guy." Jack and Chris also break down notes from linebacker Eric Gentry's post-practice press conference. Gentry is equally excited to play on the road but noted that he has not put much thought into the fact that he will be playing his old school on Saturday. The ASU transfer said that the games on the road last year were some of his favorite that he played with the Trojans. Jack and Chris finished by discussing notes from USC's coaches and players on the current state of the Sun Devils who are currently heavily beat up at quarterback and making a play-caller switch.
