Another stellar performance by Caleb Williams punctuated by a game-sealing interception by Korey Foreman delivers No. 7 USC a 48-45 win over No. 16 UCLA.
A calm settled over Caleb Williams, on a night when that could be said about few others.
Korey Foreman had come to USC out of Corona Centennial High as the top recruit in the country, with the weight of expectation heavy on his shoulders. A billboard even had announced his arrival on campus. But nothing about his first two seasons had suggested a star was in the making. Those turnovers kept USC afloat in a game it tried to give away at various points Saturday. The Trojans defense would still give up more than 500 yards for the third time in four weeks. It just so happened that UCLA’s defense gave up even more: 649, to be exact.
Even still, UCLA had fired its way back into the game late, after giving up the lead it held throughout the first half. Thompson-Robinson had cut the Trojans’ lead to just a field goal with just 6:38 remaining. The missed opportunities for USC kept spiraling from there. After its defense forced a three-and-out, Williams found Addison downfield for a 37-yard gain, only for the offense to stall once again in the red zone.
The Trojans’ sense of urgency suddenly rising, Williams took the field intent on mounting a response. Instead he threw one of his worst passes of the season and was picked off, just the third time all season that USC’s Heisman contender had turned the ball over.
