Williams says he is focused on bigger goals, like beating Utah in the Pac-12 championship game Friday in Las Vegas and securing the Trojans’ first CFP berth
LOS ANGELES — The past few weeks, USC quarterback Caleb Williams has seen an uptick in text messages from friends and family. Some are congratulatory, others are commenting on all the hype surrounding Williams as a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy.
“One of the things that we did two weeks ago was block out the noise and that’s what I’ve been doing because we have bigger goals in mind,” Williams said after practice Tuesday. “I’m sticking to my same routine, still trying to lead these guys.” So that is where the attention should be. But Williams has established himself as the Heisman favorite at this point in the season. His 44 total touchdowns are a single-season record at USC, and his 65.8% completion rate is higher than either Matt Leinart’s or Carson Palmer’s during their Heisman campaigns at USC.
“I thought that last year when I was playing, I thought it before I came into college,” Williams said. “It’s a certain confidence.”
