If this was Caleb Williams’ final game in a USC uniform, it did not go as planned.
Williams and the Trojans were trounced at home 38-20 by crosstown rival UCLA, dropping their record to 7-5 for the season.

Saturday’s loss capped off what has been a brutal second half of the season for Lincoln Riley’s Trojans.
