USC's Caleb Williams Earns Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week
October 02, 2023 | Football
LOS ANGELES--Defending Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams earned Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors for his performance in USC's 48-41 victory over Colorado. This is Williams' third Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honor of his career.
Leading Lincoln Riley's electric offense, Williams has put up incredible numbers. Against the Buffs, Williams went 30-of-40 for 403 yards and 6 TDs. He also rushed for 12 yards on 5 carries.
Williams' 6 TDs tied his single game career-high (also throwing 6 TDs against Texas Tech in 2021). He is the first FBS player in the last 25 years to throw for 6 passing TDs in a game for multiple schools.
This season, Williams is 105-of-141 for 1,603 yards with 21 TDs and 1 INT. He has also rushed for 83 yards this season with 3 TDs – all within 16 quarters of football throughout 5 games.
Compared to his first five games of his Heisman winning season in 2022 (107-of-159 for 1,402 yards with 12 TDs and 1 INT and 144 rushing yards with 3 TDs – playing 19 quarters of football), Williams has thrown 9 more TDs through 5 games this year, all while playing 3 fewer quarters than he did to begin the 2022 season.
He is currently No. 1 in the nation in passing efficiency (217.7), No. 1 in the nation for passing TDs (21), No. 1 in the nation in points responsible for (146), No. 1 in the nation in points responsible for per game (29.2), No. 1 in the nation in yards per pass attempt (11.37), No. 6 in the nation for passing yards (1,603), No. 7 in passing yards per game (320.6), No. 8 in the nation in total offense (337.2) and No. 9 in the nation for completion percentage (0.745).
