Column: If Caleb Williams can build on his Heisman Trophy-winning season, he could lead USC to championship glory and become the greatest college quarterback ever.
USC’s revamped defense got off to a slow start against quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense but showed signs of progress during the spring game.With the stakes so high, it was smart for Riley to save his quarterback for the real thing, because the real thing can wind up being an historic thing.
Playing on a national stage with one of the nation’s premier franchises, Williams can become the first quarterback, and only the second player, to win two Heisman Trophies. And – with a defensive line that looks tons bigger than last year’s weary unit — Williams can lead the Trojans to a national title if they can ever learn to tackle.
Williams wasn’t made available to the media Saturday, but, earlier this spring, while showing off a shortened haircut that drastically changes his formerly shaggy look, he spoke humbly to reporters about his lofty goals. In what will surely be a crazy NIL-laden season, expect Williams to remain humble if only because Riley is the one coach who can keep him that way.“Kind of situation mastery, which is, I thought he did some really good things in them last year, but there’s some things that we would want back,” Riley said.
It feels like if anybody can handle the oncoming pressure, it will be Williams. And, goodness, there will be pressure.
