Heisman Trophy Power Rankings: Hendon Hooker overtakes Stroud, Drake Maye makes statement
By Scott Rogust
. Previous: . Caleb Williams. 4. player. 808.
Two weeks ago, the USC Trojans lost their first game of the season at the hands of Cameron Rising and the Utah Utes, despite a tremendous performance by quarterback Caleb Williams. After the bye week, the Trojans returned to take on the Arizona Wildcats.
Williams put up strong numbers against Arizona, throwing 31 completions for 411 yards, five touchdowns, and zero interceptions on 45 pass attempts. He put up these numbers without top wide receivers Jordan Addison and Mario Williams.
As long as Williams is starting under center, USC stands a great chance of winning. Given his performance, this is why he made the jump up to the No. 4 ranking.
Blake Corum. 3. player. 811. . . Previous:
Tell us if you have heard this before — Michigan running back Blake Corum had a tremendous game to help lead the Wolverines to another victory. Well, he did so when taking on their hated rivals in the Michigan State Spartans.
The Wolverines picked up the 29-7 win over the Spartans. Corum ran for 177 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries. That rushing yard total is actually the most recorded by a Michigan running back since Mike Hart ran for 218 yards back in 2005, per ESPN Stats and Info.

In addition to his monstrous rushing yard total, Corum caught a two-yard touchdown pass.
As long as Corum thrives in the running game, Michigan stands a great chance to win.
