Quarterback Caleb Williams’ Heisman Trophy bid got a big boost and USC kept its College Football Playoff dreams alive with a 38-27 win over Notre Dame.
peered out over the Coliseum from atop his new gilded perch, dreaming up a future that just days before seemed no more than a pipe dream. It was Nov. 28, 2021, as USC’s new coach stood over a surreal scene, promising to turn the Trojans into contenders and the Coliseum into a mecca.had fallen in recent years, no reasonable soul could’ve expected in that moment to see those promises basically fulfilled in under a calendar year.
“It’s been a tremendous run, but there’s obviously a lot more left out there for us,” Riley said. “So we’ve got to enjoy it but put it to bed here quickly.” If that weren’t enough, Williams offered his own reminder, striking the Heisman pose near USC’s sideline after a score, he said, to satisfy his teammates, who’d been clamoring for him to make a statement.
USC’s defense would do its part too, offering a stirring retort to the College Football Playoff committee chair, who noted earlier this week that the committee needed to see more from the unit. Little about USC’s season played out like many might have expected. But by Saturday, the standard beats of a Riley win were struck in their usual succession. The Trojans got off to a fast start, scoring within just four minutes. The defense came up with critical stops, forcing two timely turnovers and twice thwarting drives in the red zone. Then, as he so often does, Williams did something – or many things – one might deem extraordinary.
