The sophomore quarterback, who won three major awards Thursday, is likely to add to that Saturday based on the numbers
USC quarterback Caleb Williams will have to add a new shelf to his trophy case after. The sophomore was named the Associated Press Player of the Year, then won the Walter Camp and Maxwell Awards during the College Football Awards Show on Thursday night.
Williams entered Manhattan as the favorite to win the Heisman, and Thursday’s haul of trophies certainly added to his front-runner status. But when comparing his 2022 campaign to those of the two other USC quarterbacks to win the award, Matt Leinart in 2004 and Carson Palmer in 2002, it seems even more likely that Williams becomes the eighth Trojan to hoist the Heisman.
The rushing yards by a quarterback and the total touchdowns are USC single-season records, so no need to drag the ground stats of the slow-footed Leinart and Palmer into that debate.
