This week featured an all-star lineup on Trojans Live, fitting as USC readies to face Stanford this weekend in a big Pac-12 Championship game. Named permanent head coach on Monday morning, Clay Helton kicked off the show by discussing the process of his hiring, his team's performance against UCLA and how the Trojans can keep the momentum going on Saturday.
