How has Caleb Williams' 2023 CFB season been thus far?

Williams, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2022, is putting together another season for the record books, leading a USC offense that has scored 40 or more points in every game this season. He has recorded 1,822 passing yards, with 22 touchdown passes and just two interceptions heading into Week 7. He has an even better completion percentage than last year, at 71.7%, and his 86.2 QBR is eighth in the nation.

Williams has six rushing touchdowns, too.

The Trojans are undefeated after Week 6 and ranked No. 10 in the nation. However, they have had close calls this season, especially in the last two weeks. In Week 5, they escaped a fourth-quarter comeback by Colorado in a 48-41 win, and in Week 6, they needed three overtimes to beat Arizona by the tiniest of margins, 43-41.

Since arriving at USC, Caleb Williams has been unable to lead the Trojans to a Pac-12 title or a bowl victory, and he started the season with hopes of carrying them to the playoffs. The biggest bump to that objective is a defensive unit that isn't up to par with the offense.

Williams is expected to declare at the end of the season for the 2024 NFL draft. Experts almost unanimously have him as the first pick of next year's draft.
