Scrambling away from a collapsing offensive line, USC’s quarterback threw three first-half interceptions that the Trojans never recovered from.
USC quarterback Caleb Williams hands off to running back Austin Jones during the first half an NCAA college football game against Notre Dame, Saturday, Oct. 14, 2023, in South Bend, Ind.
But in front of a packed-out Notre Dame Stadium booming with vengeance and Irish-green pom-poms, against a defense that gave not a few inches of breathing room to blanketed receivers, the rabbit-from-a-hat plays that have made Williams “Caleb freakin’ Williams” went shockingly and irreparably wrong in a blowout 48-20 loss.
They were not. And the run game was thus nonexistent, MarShawn Lloyd and Austin Jones repeatedly probing for holes that weren’t there, Zachariah Branch running approximately 20 yards across the field on a third-quarter end-around all for an ultimate gain of 0. Except his pass got tipped at the line of scrimmage, and a floating duck fell right into the arms of Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts for his second pick.
