    The thing that’s missing in Derek’s article is talking about why Penix has been a model of maturity in terms of emotional regulation vs. Williams.

    We all have talked about how USC has become Charmin soft. I think a lot that is due to the sense of entitlement and their players having faced little adversity.

    Williams and Penix are both transfers. But Penix has had to deal with injury, being redshirted, learning a new system with a new coach. Williams however came with Riley from OU and has basically led a charmed career with all sorts of awards and accolades. A UW QB usually understands they will have to fight for everything. A USC QB thinks the regular season is a mere formality before being crowned a winner.

    So I’m not surprised Williams got emotional…might’ve been one of the first times in his young life he had to feel disappointment or failure.

    He’s going to be a high draft pick to a perennial loser. He better get use to losing.

    He’s gonna pull an Eli Manning and refuse to play for the Bears. Cook it.
