Caleb Williams and Shedeur Sanders staged one of the more thrilling games of the college football season on Saturday, with Williams’ USC Trojans outlasting Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes 48-41.
Williams threw for 403 yards and six touchdowns in the victory, narrowly beating Sanders’ 371 yards and four touchdowns. The pair shared a moment after the game, with Williams relaying a sample message to Sanders: “Keep balling.”

There is plenty of mutual respect here, and with good reason. Both Williams and Sanders have been outstanding this season, and both have a future in the NFL. Williams definitely is not giving Sanders any ammunition for a disrespect narrative in the future, either.
Williams is viewed as the likely No. 1 pick in next April’s NFL Draft. At this rate, he may win a second straight Heisman Trophy first, too.
