“Everybody wants to be these two 12.5 shoes right here,” Williams remarked during a press conference. “I”m not worried about some kid running on the field that doesn”t have anything really associated with Notre Dame other than possibly their family going there or him going there himself. I”ve got a lot of guys over here that I”ve got to lead, so the opinion of a sheep, lions don”t worry about that stuff. Keep moving on, keep fighting. Fight on.”

USC”s head coach, Lincoln Riley, expressed surprise at his quarterback”s underwhelming performance, mirroring the astonishment of many fans.

“The reality is, you go back and look at that tape and all three of those turnovers, for example, there”s wide-open people running around,” Riley said. “We gotta finish those plays. We had some opportunities to make a few plays, but we didn”t.”

The loss to the Fighting Irish was the Trojans” first of the season, and Williams took much of the blame for his uncharacteristic three interceptions. Heisman-winner Williams managed just 199 passing yards in the game, and the 48-20 loss significantly damaged his team”s College Football Playoff prospects.

In their quest for redemption, the No. 18 USC Trojans (6–1) will face the No. 14 Utah Utes (5–1) on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, a game fans are eagerly anticipating.
