USC quarterback Caleb Williams did not speak to reporters after the Oregon State game.
He then did not speak as scheduled Wednesday for his weekly appearance with the media.
It’s a bad look. If you make $8 million a year and can do TV commercials, you can handle speaking to the media after a bad game. He’ll do it in the NFL. You think Justin Herbert wanted to talk after the Chargers lost to the Jaguars, 38-10?
I’m not sure what Williams fears? He’s the star of the team and everyone thinks he will lead USC to great success this season. End of story.
This is a classic case of overthinking by coach/player. Remember, Williams never spoke to the media last season until Oklahoma’s victory in the Alamo Bowl.
Does Lincoln Riley really think the supportive USC media is going to ask Williams a question he couldn’t easily answer?
I’m sure he’ll be willing to talk about an easy victory over Arizona State. But that’s a weak policy. USC didnt lose a lot of games during the Pete Carroll era, but the players faced the media when they did.

It tells me one thing. It tells me that he knows that he had a bad game. I don’t think that he has any illusions about that. If he is really a great player, then he will up his game performance in the future. And that is good.

It’s everyone else’s fault, Caleb is perfect, the media needs to leave him alone, and allow him to pout like a little a crybaby bitch. He sure is lucky that USC hasn’t played any competitive teams so far, because he’d shit in his pants and hold his breath like a baby 😂

Fucking bullshit!!!!….. Wolf is being a petty little dick. Williams is a student-athlete first and foremost, and not the voice of the team regarding the media.
Instead, wolf wants to bad-mouth the kid and insinuate there is a conspiracy going on to avoid the media.
The bile wolf posts are consistent with a third-rate blogger. He should be embarrassed by this non-sense

– Wake me up Saturday night right before kickoff, then I’ll be interested Meanwhile I got bigger game on my plate, like how I’ve been itching for the last 2-days from a mosquito living with me at my office. It was such a “One-time in your life moment’ that I just had to memorialize it, as follows:
THE ATTACK OF THE “LIGHT-BRIGADE” MOSQUITO
– Was attacked for 2-days by a mosquito sharing my small office room
I could not catch the little pest as she observed me in jest
Very upset, I said out-loud, “Man, what are you still doing here”
To which if she could talk would have exclaimed,
“Your blood, dear, it gives me such cheer”
Well, the nasty little thing finally got her comeuppance
Engorged twice her usual size by the infusion of my blood
The poor baby was too slow to avoid my blow
which resulted in a flow (of my blood)
Yeah, yeah, I’ve heard it all before, “Don’t give up your day-job Wolcott

Let Williams make his statement on the field. We all know what the media can do to a player. One wrong word and all of his hard work is tossed out the window.

I agree with Scott on this one. You’re now basically a professional player who attends college. Hell, he’s making way more than a lot of current NFL players. Don’t want him facing a firing squad but this could have helped him in his maturation process and have accountability.
Caleb, spend some of that NIL money on marketing firm that will help you navigate & prep for tough convos.

The Wolfman is right on the money in his assessment. When you have a loss or a bad game personally, that is the time a real leader will take the lead and speak with the press and own their performance. If I’m an NFL scout or GM, this is a huge red flag.

Irrespective of the NIL $$$, I’d prefer to see Williams focus on the upcoming game and figure out what he needs to do better on Saturday, than talk to reporters.
Lots of highly ranked recruits will be at the ASU game, including Elijiah Page, the domer o line decommit and Rodrick Pleasant, 4 star CB who ran a 10.14 100 earlier this year. Need to deliver a knockout game versus the sun devils.

I think he’s being punished by his coach for being subpar and distracted. He can talk to the media when he shows that he’s 100% locked into the mission. Bad game? No media, Caleb. Caleb has no issue with praising his teammates but deflecting in this instance serves no purpose with all the haters out there thinking “why did you suck for most of the game?” and the “aren’t you like a professional now?” God forbid he reminds us this is a true sophomore with less that 16 college starts.

13 games into his college career, Caleb has a mediocre game and responds as I would expect a 19 year old boy/man to respond.
The fourth down rushing attempt with the game on the line–aided by
USC linemen & a BushPush–showed grit. The dime to Addison which EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN DEFLECTED which won the game showed maturity and talent.
Caleb will have a rough game in Utah next week. The D, O-line, RB crew, and WR will have to team-up and help win the game. I, for one, enjoyed the effort in the final drive which helped win the game.
