Will Caleb Williams return for his final year?
Caleb Williams is scripting another sensational chapter in his Heisman-worthy journey. He is steering USC to a 6-0 record into Week 7. Williams remains the linchpin of the attack ensuring the Trojans stand undefeated.
His stats tell a compelling tale of dominance. Williams has recorded 1,822 passing yards, 22 touchdown passes and just one interception. Adding to the stat sheet, Williams has six rushing touchdowns. Thanks to him, the Trojans are hitting the 40-point mark in every game. His QBR of 86.2 ranks him eighth among college quarterbacks.
