Caleb Williams shares emotional embrace with his mom following USC’s 3rd loss

With a 52-42 loss to Washington on Saturday night in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, USC and Caleb Williams‘ season slid from merely disappointing and closer to being an outright failure for a team with College Football Playoff aspirations. It was the Trojans’ third loss in four games, sending them to a 6-3 mark on the year.

And following yet another gutting loss, one that likely spells the end of much meaningful college football for the star quarterback and ends his hopes of repeating as a Heisman winner, all Williams could do was cry. He made his way over to the stands, where his mother, Dayna, embraced him.

Leaning over the railing, with a piece of paper concealing his face from the TV cameras and the world, Williams sobbed, his body shaking with each heave.

For a player who has seen such highs and created such magic on the field for the better part of three seasons now, who has dazzled and delighted with his mind-bending off-schedule throws and played with a penchant for punishing defenses when they’re at their breaking point, the one-month free fall evidently overwhelmed.

And after Williams poured himself into trying to pull USC to another win — he went 27-of-35 for 312 yards and three touchdowns — and came up short, all he could think to do was take a moment to commiserate with his mother.
