Williams, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is known to paint his nails for games with different messages. 

"Everybody wants to be in these two 12.5 shoes, right here," Williams told reporters on Thursday. "I’m not worried about some kid running on the field that doesn’t have anything really associated with Notre Dame other than possibly their family going there, or him going there himself. 

"Got a lot of guys over here that I’ve got to lead. So, some opinion of a sheep, lions don’t worry about that. So, keep moving on, keep fighting. Fight on."

Williams had his worst game of the season in South Bend, Indiana, throwing for just 199 yards and three interceptions. He was sacked five times as the USC offense turned the ball over five times.
