USC Trojans Game Notes
Caleb Williams completed 15 of 29 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns in Saturday’s 30-14 win over Washington State. He also rushed nine times for 34 yards. Williams had problems finding his elites through the air, but managed the offense well and wiggled his way out of trouble several times. He got two touchdown balls to his former Oklahoma teammate Mario Williams, as the Cougars had success in bottling up Jordan Addison.
Utah Utes Game Notes
Cameron Rising completed 23 of 32 passes for 287 yards and an interception in Saturday’s 42-32 loss to UCLA. He also rushed 13 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns. Rising failed to throw a touchdown pass in the loss but compensated with a great night outside the pocket. The loss of Brant Kuithe (knee) definitely seems to be affecting Rising’s ability to get the ball in the end zone, The Utes have a fairly capable receiving corps, but they weren’t strong enough to pose a threat to UCLA’s secondary, who contained any big play opportunities.
