USC Football: Communication Avoidance Led to Insane Caleb Williams Highlight on Saturday
There are few quarterbacks at the collegiate level that understand the game of football better than USC Trojans star Caleb Williams. Williams has two seasons under his belt playing NCAA football and should he enter the NFL Draft next year, most experts project him to the number one pick and describe his talent as generational.
Trojans fans first got to see him rock the red and gold last season after he transferred from Oklahoma and he was nothing short of incredible. Williams there 4537 yards to go with 333 completions in 14 games with USC in 2022 and through two wins this year, he is continuing his incredible trajectory.
In USC's historic 56-10 win over Stanford, the 21-year-old QB threw for 300 yards and three touchdowns all in the first half and shined in front of a packed home crowd at the Coliseum.
A certain play that stood out to everyone was when Williams threw a successful 75-yard touchdown pass to Brenden Rice in the second quarter. Williams spoke on the play in his post-game interview session and revealed that he actually ignored head coach Lincoln Riley in order to make it happen.
"Caleb Williams said on the 75-yard TD pass to Brenden Rice, he heard Lincoln Riley yelling his name, but he liked the look #Stanford's defense was in, so he didn't want to look over and have the play changed. Riley chimes in: "I was going to tell you to throw it to Brenden."
Players at the top of the game usually rely on their own instincts in big moments and they pay off whenever they execute correctly.
We cannot wait to see all of the special moments that Williams will continue to provide for us this season!
