Caleb Williams, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, delivered a shockingly flat performance on the biggest stage, and USC fans are reeling from the aftermath. Williams, long praised for his magic in chaotic moments, looked ordinary—worse, he looked overwhelmed. From the opening drive, the pressure rattled him. He missed wide-open receivers, forced throws into triple coverage, and repeatedly took unnecessary sacks that killed momentum. His trademark playmaking turned into recklessness, and for the first time in his USC career, Williams appeared completely out of answers. The offensive line didn’t do him many favors, but Williams’s decision-making was just as much to blame for the Trojans’ collapse. What’s most concerning is that in a critical game where legacy and playoff dreams were on the line, Williams crumbled. Fans who once dreamed of back-to-back Heismans are now facing the cold reality that USC might not even win their own conference. Lincoln Riley was visibly furious on the sidelines, and questions about Williams’s readiness for the NFL will only grow louder after this meltdown. The pressure isn’t coming—it’s already here. And if Caleb Williams can’t find his old magic fast, USC’s season—and his reputation—could take an even bigger, irreversible hit.
