Maybe columnist Bill Plaschke and others can now stop the deification of Caleb Williams. It seems that Williams feasts on mid-level teams and gets roasted by top-level teams, such as Utah (twice last year), Tulane and now Notre Dame. Hard to blame the defense for the South Bend debacle.

Considering Notre Dame only beat Duke on the last play of the game and lost to Louisville, it’s a good thing USC is joining the Big 10 and not the ACC.

The South Bend debacle, while disappointing, was predictable. The idea Lincoln Riley and a generational quarterback could instantly transform a 4-8 program largely devoid of talent into a national title contender is completely irrational. A fresh coat of paint on a house with a leaky roof and rotten foundation does not magically turn a fixer upper into a mansion.

USC football fans seemed to be surprised by a Lincoln Riley-coached team. He’s a good offensive-minded coach, but seems to have no interest in having good defenses and special teams. Great coaches key on all three phases.
