Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the USC Trojans, went down in tears as he witnessed a heartbreaking loss against the Washington team. The 21-year-old athlete is one of the leading favorites for this year’s Heisman Trophy for consistently performing phenomenally. Though he had the best odds before the Washington game, it seems as if his dreams of the trophy might be shattered.

The USC Trojans faced off against the Washington Huskies on 5th October, 2023. The match was the Trojans’ 10th game of their season and they were expected to dominate the match. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned as the Huskies’ offense managed to tear through the Trojans and secure a win. Williams is one of the driving factors of the team, but it seems like even he couldn’t bear the tragic defeat as he broke down at the end of the match.

Caleb Williams weeps uncontrollably after the loss against the Washington team

The match saw one of the poorest performances by the Trojans’ defensive side and thus, paved the way for a heartbreaking loss. While the team gave a good enough fightback, it wasn’t enough to keep the Huskies at bay. The match ended at a score of 52-42 and Williams couldn’t help but let his emotions take over.

Caleb Williams has been the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy odds, but Michael Penix Jr., the quarterback for the Huskies, was right behind him in second position. This means that after tonight’s performance, Williams might tragically lose the race to Penix and thus, justifies him weeping alongside his family as they try to console him.

How has the Trojans’ season with Williams been so far?

The Trojans have played a total of over 10 games and won 7 of them. Thus, with a 7-3 record, they are one of the favorites to go all the way this season. With Caleb Williams on the team, it’s almost going to be smooth sailing for the team as the league nears the finals.

Caleb Williams has had one of the most impressive runs of his career this season. He has completed over 2,420 passing yards and a total of 30 passing touchdowns, making him the frontrunner for the Heisman odds. But after today’s tragic loss, it’s safe to say that he won’t be leading the race as Penix jumps to the top of the table. As he reflects on his loss today, he will certainly try to give it his all to retain his top spot in the next coming games against the Oregon Ducks and the UCLA Bruins.
