USC Morning Buzz: Putting A Stake Through Dumb Commentary
There was some really dumb commentary from USC fans following the Holiday Bowl about Caleb Williams being overrated because Miller Moss had a good game against mighty Louisville. I’m not a huge fan of PFF stats but quarterback ratings are pretty clear. Here’s something worth remembering with Williams, courtesy of PFF.
