Breaking down Week 12 in College Football from Inside the Film Room

College football can be a cruel sport. Saturday was proof of that. No, there weren’t College Football Playoff-shaping upsets. But a pair of notable quarterbacks saw their careers likely end in brutal fashion.

One feels far more unfair than the other. That’s the injury to Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis. A sixth-year senior playing at home on senior night in what should have been a cupcake game against Northern Alabama, Travis suffered a gruesome injury and was carted off the field with his left leg in an air cast. It’s an injury that ends his Heisman Trophy bid and puts a damper on the Seminoles’ chances down the stretch.

The other disappointment came in Los Angeles when the college career of Caleb Williams likely ended with a whimper. Billed as a generational QB prospect, Williams did win the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore. But his follow-up season was a string of disappointments. Yes, Williams threw for 384 yards in front of his home fans. But USC lost 38-20 to rival UCLA and fell to 7-5 overall. No grandiose sendoff. No fireworks. Williams was just a great QB on a very average team.

Not everything in college football in Week 12 was quite so grim or melancholy, though. To recap the week that was, let’s take a look at some winners and losers, examine the Heisman race and run through every Power Five game.
