Two of the best quarterbacks in the nation faced off on Saturday in Boulder, as No. 8 USC downed Colorado 48–41 on the road in a high-scoring affair that turned from blowout-to-interesting down the stretch.
At the center of the offensive explosion on Saturday were the two quarterbacks. USC signal-caller and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams went 30-for-40 passing for 403 yards and six touchdowns to one interception. Meanwhile Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders did all he could, continuing his ascent among the nation’s best under center with a 30-for-45 performance for 371 yards and four touchdowns to one interception.
Williams couldn’t help but be impressed with Sanders on Saturday.
