Another Caleb Williams TD run — vs. man coverage. Finding open rush lanes. Via @MattBowen41 on X

What happened: By halftime, Caleb Williams had accounted for three touchdowns: two rushing and one passing.

Why it matters: The scoring run exposed the space available when man coverage leaves rushing lanes open for the quarterback.

By the numbers: At halftime: six carries for 52 yards, averaging 8.7 yards per attempt; 248 combined passing and rushing yards; no interceptions and a 141.0 passer rating.

What to watch: Watch whether opponents assign a defender to Williams to limit his scrambling opportunities.
