With four minutes to play in a blowout loss to their rival, USC quarterback Caleb Williams took a shotgun snap, held the ball in front of him with two hands and watched as running back Austin Jones plunged ahead for a 7-yard touchdown.
The celebration was muted. His touchdown had merely pulled the Trojans within 18 points of rival UCLA in USC’s final regular season game.
Williams hasn’t played a snap of game action since — until Saturday.
