RICO WAS RIGHT: Watch USC's Caleb Williams Basically Clinch The Heisman Trophy On An Absurd 1st Down Scramble
According to the ABC telecast, Caleb Williams ran about 80 actual yards on this nutty scramble drill, which all but guaranteed the USC quarterback would claim the most prestigious individual hardware in college football.
EVEN BEFORE THIS, Williams was striking that iconic Heisman Trophy pose!
This guy is good and he knows it. I'm kind of upset that he ruined Big Cat's Game of the Year, as he had Notre Dame +4.5 and encouraged all who would listen to ride.
Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams had other ideas. Those fuckers. I'm all for chaos and upsets. The least the Trojans could've done is let Notre Dame cover. Unfortunately, Williams' highlight-reel scamper set up a short three-yard jaunt to the end zone to make the score 31-14 following the PAT.
From there on out, it was an exercise in rooting for a backdoor cover. Reminds me of the Ted Lasso Season 1 finale title: "The Hope That Kills You."
To drive the final dagger home, Williams ran in his third TD of the night on a 4th and 2:
Big Cat did me a serious solid today by retweeting my plug for his delicious as hell Stella Blue Coffee and related merch. I'm a drop in the bucket visibility-wise compared to many of the talent, and that type of positive energy should've been rewarded. I'm getting more pissed by the minute at Caleb Williams.
Why do I mention all this? Well, because we're running a Black Friday sale at the Barstool Store!! It's 20% off basically all merch through Cyber Monday. That's a hell of a deal.
I could end the blog there but we're going to stretch this promo and topic out as much as possible. ICYMI: Rico Bosco blogged two weeks ago about how people should hop on the Caleb Williams Heisman future bet bandwagon. Lengthy hyperlink was definitely necessary.
Clem was kind enough to remind the people this eve:
Anyone who's tuned into Barstool Pick Em knows that El Pres was getting on Rico for not blogging enough earlier in the season. Again, I'm not here to pile on anyone. Quite the opposite. Caleb Williams had +1000 Heisman odds at the time Rico published his blog!! AND BOOOOOOOOOM. NAILED IT.
Turns out Rico was just biding his time before unleashing his masterpiece of a betting prediction on public record. Now the man is rolling on blog production.
So in honor of Rico — who I believe doesn't know me whatsoever — Clem (cohost of My Mom's Basement, editorial extraordinaire and other hats worn), college football, and Big Cat/Stella Blue Coffee, I've got links galore below for all kinds of merch that you should absolutely capitalize on while supplies last.
The Heisman race is essentially over. Congrats to the Ryders who rode. Rico Blogsco was bang-on right!! In the event you didn't tail this piece of betting advice, don't pass up the chance to get great value on our Black Friday sale!
