In case you wondered, Mark Sanchez also tripped to OHIO ST (forget the snow! “That was a dealbreaker”), ND, TEXAS, and UCLA back in 2004. But USC was the “quarterback factory” at the time and easily won the battle for local boy Sanchez’s signature, even though Lane Kiffin was a “total jerk and an a**hole to me until I got to be a starter…”
Caleb Williams might just win the Heisman at USC (the final, ultimate USC faceplant on OU). Wouldn’t that be fantastic! The young QB handles himself very well in the media. USC’s built on stars. This guy’s one of them. He’s already gained USC so much amazing notoriety, both through appearances and multiple NIL deals. I think this has been a hugely underrated benefit for the Trojans who are capitalizing on this every day.
USC needs another one of those revered trophies, especially since Reggie voluntarily gave his back. What were you thinking Reggie?
