USC Football Highlights: Caleb Williams Puts on a Show as Trojans Dominate First Half in Colorado

In this story:
In one of the more highly anticipated games of the season, it has been pretty lopsided in the first half. The USC Trojans traveled to Boulder for a matchup with the Colorado Buffalos, and many people were hyped about this matchup. But through the first half, it has been all USC dominating Colorado.
Just like last week against the Oregon Ducks, the Buffalos have looked overmatched against a better opponent. USC quarterback Caleb Williams has torn the Buffaloes defense up, and the Trojans find themselves up big at halftime.

The USC defense even showed up in this game. After a long week of questions being asked about them, it seems that the defensive guys took it personally.

All in all, it's been a great first half for the Trojans. They lead 34-14 over Colorado at halftime, and USC seems to be in good shape to grab another victory on the season.
