Caleb Williams' run to the Heisman is comparable to Carson Palmer, with him hanging around but not moving into the spotlight until late in the season.
Carson Palmer, who won the 2002 Heisman Trophy with USC and played 15 years in the NFL, is now living a quiet life in Idaho with his wife and kids.
Tessalone promptly emailed — he says he was just learning how then — Plaschke’s column to national college football reporters and voices with the subject line, “Hmmmm...” He made sure to talk with ESPN College GameDay and other opinion shifters about mentioning Palmer as a candidate along with Iowa’s Brad Banks and Miami’s Ken Dorsey.
Palmer took the Trojans from 6-6 to 10-2 in Carroll’s second season, laying the foundation for the AP national championship the next year. Williams led USC from 4-8 to 11-2. The seven-win improvement matched the biggest one-season turnaround in school history. USC quarterback Caleb Williams, left, celebrates after USC defeated UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Nov. 19.
