USC quarterback Caleb Williams painted his nails with Notre Dame’s NSFW letter, then came out and backed it up with a Heisman-winning performance.
Caleb Williams is a bad, bad guy. Notre Dame’s defense can assert that after the USC quarterback gave them bouts of a 38-27 victory in the Coliseum.
In a performance that was hailed by the national media as decisive for Heisman, Williams rushed for three touchdowns, threw another and produced magic plays with his scrambling ability.
This performance backed up the message he scribbled on his nails while playing the match: “F*** ND.”
Caleb Williams drew an NSFW message on his nails vs. Notre Dame
Williams paints his nails every game, a tradition dating back to his debut season with Oklahoma.
He had a similar message to UCLA before that rivalry game.
Only a quarterback like Williams can pull that off. First of all, he’s confident enough to paint his nails in the first place. Secondly, he is talented enough to back up the words with his play.
Williams was already a contender for Heisman thanks to his outstanding play throughout the season. He had 34 passing touchdowns, 10 rushing touchdowns and only three interceptions. A 470-yard outing against UCLA in the Rose Bowl set up Notre Dame as a potential window to become the Cup favorite.
Since Ohio State’s CJ Stroud fumbled against Michigan, Williams has had a greater chance of grabbing the prize. He did just that with a performance that highlighted his immense talent.
Everyone who watched the game walked away feeling like Williams was going to win the Heisman.
Williams and the Trojans aren’t done yet. They will face Utah on Friday in the Pac-12 Championship Game. A win would undoubtedly book them a College Football Playoff berth.
