Despite efforts from Caleb Williams that kept USC within striking distance of an upset, USC falls to Oregon 36-27 for its fourth loss in five games.

Lincoln Riley called last season's team the “least talented” group that he’ll coach at USC. Yet this season's group has the most losses for any Riley-coached team. USC’s 36-27 loss to No. 6 Oregon on Saturday at Autzen Stadium eliminated the Trojans from Pac-12 championship contention. Quarterback Caleb Williams threw for 291 yards and one touchdown on 19-of-34 passing, but Oregon’s Bo Nix stole the show with 412 yards and four touchdowns.

The Ducks scored two touchdowns in five combined plays. It felt as if USC was destined for a blowout loss. Williams wasn’t going to make it that easy. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner willed the Trojans to an eight-point halftime deficit that felt like a minor victory in front of a packed crowd and an Oregon team that has emerged as the Pac-12’s strongest since losing to rival Washington on Oct. 14. Williams slung a 10-yard pass to Austin Jones over his head like a hook shot.
