A road game against Stanford looms this weekend for his first test in a USC uniform, though it shouldn’t be much of a contest. Williams completed 19 of his 22 passing attempts against Rice as the Trojans cruised to a victory. Mayfield threw for 4,340 yards with 41 touchdowns and just. He sits at +800 at PointsBet after Week 1.Ī conference title appearance for the Trojans likely puts them into top-10 range in the AP Poll, which is surely enough to keep Williams’ Heisman season alive and well. Last year's Heisman Trophy winner was Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield, who now a roookie quarterback with the Cleveland Browns. By seasons end, he was the runaway choice and became. Should USC and Lincoln Riley actually make a run at the conference title, I would be remiss to not be holding a ticket on Williams this early in the season. At the start of the 1995 season, Eddie George was, at best, a long-shot contender for the Heisman Trophy. That may still be the case for the Trojans, but with the top two contenders in the Pac-12 losing Week 1, I’m thinking the road to the conference title is much wider for the Trojans. I thought the Trojans needed to fill too many positions too quickly and couldn’t do so with enough talent.

Mark Ingram won the Heisman in 2009, Derrick Henry won in 2015, and Smith won in 2020. Archie Griffin of Ohio State is the only player to receive the award twice, winning it as a junior in 1974 and a senior in 1975. I will preface this section with a few thoughts. Terry Baker was the only player to win the Heisman Trophy and play in the Final Four in the NCAA basketball tournament in the same school year (196263).
