The star quarterback throws for 403 yards and six touchdowns as the Trojans win 48-41 after the Buffaloes rally and score the final 20 points of the game
Three hours before game time, the overflow lots had long overflown, and USC’s clash with Prime Time was underway.
“Coach Prime brings a energy to Boulder, and to Colorado football,” Colorado Rep. Leslie Harod said, “that we just haven’t seen at the collegiate level.” “Uh, All-American game,” Williams said. “And, uh, we played in the All-American game and then went to high school.”And after Shedeur Sanders’ name had been bandied about in a few early-season Heisman discussions, Williams well outpaced the Colorado quarterback in the first half Saturday, Sanders throwing for just 109 yards with a touchdown and interception as the Trojans’ cornerbacks adeptly shadowed a Buffs room ripe with playmakers.
But up 34-14 at half, even with a pair of Williams third-quarter touchdowns, USC lost their chance to stamp a true statement win as the Trojans’ defense imploded. Shredded on the ground but robust in pass coverage through the first half – Arizona transfer Christian Roland-Wallace coming up with a key first-quarter pick of Sanders – the Trojans’ secondary looked helpless against Sanders for much of the second half, a concerning array of mistakes stacking up.
