Football season is just over a month away, so junior DB Olaijah Griffin, head strength coach Aaron Ausmus and Pac-12 insider Jon Wilner joined Monday's episode of Trojans Live to preview the season.

Griffin, who's a rising junior, explained how the defense has changed under new defensive coordinator Todd Orlando's aggressive scheme.

Head strength coach Aaron Ausmus discussed how the team has adjusted its training protocols as local and state mandates have shifted, and shared which player has earned the nickname "Meatball" thanks to his offseason gains.
