Former USC Trojans football star quarterback Caleb Williams got everyone talking about him almost immediately during Sunday Night Football.
Just before he took the field at NRG Stadium, Sunday Night Football ran the introductions that everybody loves.
When Caleb got on the screen, he seemingly took a shot at the South Carolina Gamecocks when he said, “Caleb Williams, the real USC.”

The Trojans are easily the most notable for the name.

While many rookie QBs face challenges, Williams, the top draft pick, holds the weight of the Bears’ long-standing quarterback struggles.
Williams aims to learn and contribute to wins as the team seeks to improve its playoff prospects.
Caleb Williams Looking To Rebound From Tough First Start
Caleb Williams had just 93 yards in his NFL debut, but the Bears won the game. He completed 14 of 29 passes and overthrew a few open receivers.
