Caleb Williams plays through pain, inspiring many, but injury limits him and USC vs Utah
The USC Trojans headed to Las Vegas to face the Utah Utes in the Pac-12 title game.
Things started off well as Caleb Williams threw a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter. Then, things changed drastically as Williams suffered a leg injury.
He remained in the game, but he was nowhere near his Heisman Trophy self, and the Utes came roaring back to repeat as Pac-12 champion and ruin the Trojans’ hopes of a College Football Playoff spot.
Still, Williams put together a gutsy performance and earned the respect of everybody, regardless of fan affiliation.
Get a taste of the respect which flowed through the Pac-12 and national college football communities during this game, which showed how much heart Caleb Williams truly has:
ZERO QUESTION
Btw. Caleb Williams is still the Heisman winner.

ALMOST DID
If Caleb Williams wills this team to the playoff on one leg, we can go ahead and give him next year’s Heisman, too.

TROJAN WARRIOR
He might lose but Caleb Williams has been just unbelievable and I absolutely would rather see USC, even if they do lose, in the 4 spot of the playoff with a healthy Caleb rather than 2 loss Bama or OSU who got annihilated by their rivals at home.
