The sophomore QB, Miller Moss, threw 6 TD's and beat the favored Louisville team. I keep going back and forth on the "draft Caleb" thing. USC had a number of seniors who chose to not play in this game against nationally ranked Louisville (and I have no problem with that) - and Moss showcased an amazing bowl win anyway. While the Caleb-led USC team lost 3 straight games and 5 of 6.

SAN DIEGO -- USC bid farewell to the Pac-12 Conference with a six-pack to go and an eggnog bath to toast an otherwise unremarkable season.
With Caleb Williams watching from the sideline, Miller Moss threw a Holiday Bowl-record six touchdown passes in his first college start, and USC ended a frustrating campaign by beating No. 16 Louisville 42-28 on Wednesday night. Afterward, Trojans coach Lincoln Riley had a tub of eggnog poured over his head.
Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner who opted out of the game, watched from the sideline with his No. 13 jersey hanging around his neck. He ran onto the field and jumped on Moss in celebration after the redshirt sophomore twice took a knee in victory formation at Petco Park.
The six TD passes were also the most by a quarterback in his first start for USC (8-5), which had lost three straight games and five of six coming in after opening the campaign with national championship aspirations. The scoring tosses also were a Trojans bowl record and tied the Pac-12 bowl mark.
