USC Speeds Past Irish

Caleb Williams earned the Heisman Trophy tonight with a superb display of athleticism and skill as the USC Trojans raced past Notre Dame by a 31-14 score. The outcome was apparent on the first series of the game when the Trojans put their electric speed on display and put the Fighting Irish defense on roller skates. USC sealed the victory and a likely playoff berth when Drew Pyne fumbled on the first series of the second half. The Trojans quickly extended a 17-7 halftime lead to 24-7 and held off the visitors from there. Notre Dame finishes 8-4 on the year pending a bowl game.
