Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams will not play in the Holiday Bowl, USC coach Lincoln Riley announced Monday. The Trojans are set to take on Louisville in the game on Dec.
27. Williams, who threw for 3,633 yards and 30 touchdowns during USC's disappointing 7-5 season, is widely expected to forgo his senior season and declare for the NFL draft, where he is the projected No.
1 pick. Last year, Williams broke out for 4,537 passing yards and 42 touchdowns, fueling USC's 11-1 regular season and securing USC's eighth Heisman Trophy.
With Williams' forthcoming departure to the NFL, sophomore backup Miller Moss is expected to handle starting quarterback duties during the Holiday Bowl.
