Fourteen months ago, USC quarterback Caleb Williams was a freshman backup at Oklahoma entering the Red River Rivalry game against Texas hoping to give the Sooners a spark.<\/p>\n
Now, the 20-year-old is a Heisman Trophy winner.<\/p>\n
On Saturday in New York, Williams — much like he did on the field this year — left no doubt that the Heisman was his, securing the award given to the most outstanding player in college football in a decisive victory. Williams outraced Georgia’s Stetson Bennett, TCU’s Max Duggan and Ohio State’s CJ Stroud for the award.<\/p>\n
Williams received 544 first-place votes. His 2,031 points easily beat out Duggan, who settled for second. Stroud finished in third place, followed by Bennett.<\/p>\n
“I may be standing up here today, but y’all get to go to the College Football Playoff,” Williams said in his acceptance speech, in saluting the other finalists in front of him. “Guess you can’t win them all.”<\/p>\n
Over the course of 13 games this season, the former five-star recruit from the Washington DC area dazzled with his play, throwing for 4,075 passing yards and 37 passing touchdowns and rushing for 372 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns, as well as only four interceptions.<\/p>\n
