Hobbled Caleb Williams leads USC touchdown drive in fourth quarter

Caleb Williams was hurting. It was the fourth quarter of the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday and USC’s quarterback had a cut finger and his leg was bothering him.

So, what did the Heisman Trophy favorite do? He led the Trojans on a gutsy drive that covered 75 yards in 9 plays.

The touchdown pass was a Williams to (Mario) Williams play for USC and it covered 12 yards with just less than 11 minutes to play.

Brenden Rice was a go-to receiver on the drive that cut the Trojans’ deficit to 27-24.

If the last name sounds familiar when it comes to wide receivers, that’s because Brenden Rice’s dad is the great Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.
