Due to audio complications, it's not easy to hear the questions that Coach Kiffin is asked during his weekly sit down that looks back at the previous week and forward to the next challenge.
Here are the questions Kiffin was asked so you can follow along with the video below:
1.) Were you happy with what you accomplished during training camp?
2.) You enforced discipline during camp including doling out suspensions. Do you feel that your messages were received?
3.) After the first week, you eliminated tackling. Are you more worried about poor tackling defensively or ball security issues offensively?
4.) Does the explosiveness of the offense hinge on the development of the three freshmen receivers?
5.) You've preached that every player got a fresh start with the new coaching staff. How did Marc Tyler take advantage of that to earn the top spot on the running back depth chart?
6.) Due to injuries particularly at guard, you've had to mix and match on the offensive line. Are you worried about the chemistry of that unit?
7.) Do you consider the defensive line your most dominant unit heading into the season?
8.) Are you surprised at how quickly Devon Kennard picked up the middle linebacker position?
9.) Has Nickell Robey shown you enough against tall receivers in practice that he'll be able to overcome his height disadvantage in games?
10.) With all the work that you've put into special teams, do you almost expect it to swing a game or two in your favor?
11.) What are the logistical issues traveling to Hawaii presents?
12.) While you've talked about trimming the playing rotation, do you envision working in a lot of guys against Hawaii, so you can see them in live action?
13.) Hawaii has been off the radar since June Jones left. Do they still present the same problems with their spread attack?
14.) Defensively, what do they do that's different?
15.) Have you talked to the guys about weathering adversity on the road?
16.) John Baxter has a lot of experience against Hawaii from his Fresno St. days. Have you leaned on his knowledge in preparation?
17.) Lastly, it's been kind of lost in all the hoopla that this is your first game as the head coach of USC. What are your emotions like right now?

Wondering about the format - who's asking the questions? It's obviously one person. Are all questions being submitted prior (and if so by whom: media?), and then coach answering? This is obviously a new system for a weekly presser.
Anyway, a Big Fight On! to Coach and the Trojans - hope all goes great on the islands.
