LOOK: USC turns up the heat on Caleb Williams' Heisman campaign
Despite their loss in the Pac-12 Championship Game, USC is still keeping the faith for Caleb Williams to win the Heisman Trophy.
The College Football Playoff may be a long-shot with two losses on the season, but the Trojans took to Twitter to campaign for their star quarterback to get some hardware. Check out the tweet below, where USC prefaced a photo containing some impressive stats with a beautiful soliloquy.
Throughout the season, there wasnโt anybody who separated themselves from the pack enough in the Heisman Trophy race, and Williams turned it on throughout the season. While he couldโve clinched the honor with a victory in the Pac-12 Championship Game, itโs still tough to find anyone who had a better season than Williams.
During his first season at USC, Williams passed for 4,075 passing yards, 37 passing touchdowns, an 86.4 quarterback rating and only threw four interceptions. Additionally, he was dangerous with his legs as well, adding 372 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns to the stat sheet.

Unfortunately, the Utah Utes were the Trojansโ kryptonite in 2022, as both of USCโs losses came against their Pac-12 rival. If not for those two let-down performances by the team, itโs likely we wouldโve been able to see Williams on the biggest stage in the sport during the College Football Playoff.
Despite that, Williams still has as strong of a case as anyone for the Heisman Trophy, especially with the wheels falling off for contenders like Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker and Ohio State signal caller CJ Stroud. The former suffered a season ending knee injury, while the latter didnโt perform to his caliber of abilities during the final weeks of the season.
Alas, itโs all led to Caleb Williams being the odds-on favorite for the Heisman Trophy, and itโs tough to argue with that. Heโs a superstar, and heโs far from done with the Trojans moving forward.
