Gardner Minshew, now in the NFL, was disconsolate the night his Cougs lost to the Huskies in the Apple Cup in Pullman: (Snagged this screen capture) which I've never forgotten:
Minshew is a warrior. Like Williams, he gave it everything he had.
Minshew knew he was only going to play for one year but he didn't care. He wanted it very badly.
Yesterday, Caleb Williams gave it everything HE had. And they'd likely have defeated most any other team.
I'd like that game, even as a USC loss, to be known for that effort, instead of a few minutes of post-game humanity he displayed in his mom's arms when it was over.
There's a lot more to the game then outcomes. USC did not lose because of him. But the loss hurt nonetheless.
This Husky Alum says Williams has nothing to be ashamed of.
Being human rarely does.
