Caleb Williams, the quarterback of the USC Trojans, and Michael Penix Jr. of the Washington Huskies are two major rivals for the Heisman Trophy. HC Riley would, of course, want his QB to win, but then again, he had something to say about the Huskies QB, Penix.

Lincoln Riley has put forward an opinion about Penix

The USC Trojans and the Washington Huskies are currently the top two teams in college football competing to win the Heisman Trophy.
