QUARTERBACK There is no question Caleb Williams is struggling but look at the pressure he is facing the past two games. It’s almost comical watching him have to elude the pass rush. I do feel like Williams has looked jaded during parts of this season. He’s got to be thinking of the NFL more now. Grade: C+ RUNNING BACKS MarShawn Lloyd rushed for 74 yards … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC-Utah Report Card
