The No. 5 Washington Huskies got a massive victory over Pac-12 (for now) rival Southern California on Saturday night. It was a battle between two Heisman hopeful quarterbacks in UW’s Michael Penix Jr. and USC’s Caleb Williams. Offense was definitely on display as the two teams combined for 94 points in a 52-42 Huskies win.
After the game, Williams — who threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for another touchdown in the loss — was understandably emotional and frustrated as the Trojan defense continued to underperform. ABC cameras lingered unnecessarily long on the reigning Heisman winner being consoled by his parents after the loss, but his comments after the game were the most relatable thing ever.
“I want to go home and cuddle with my dog and watch some shows,” Williams said in the postgame press conference.

Who among us hasn’t wanted to just curl up with the pups and turn on Netflix after a bad day?
Williams continued, saying “Like, we lost the game. I work hard throughout months, years to have big games like this, try and go win and play your best, each and every one of us. We came out with a loss today, so emotionally I want to go home and I want to play with my dog.”
Same, Caleb. Same.
