With Heisman Trophy-winning USC Trojans QB1 Caleb Williams likely to declare for the draft himself one of these days, the Cardinal and Gold find themselves in need of prospective reinforcements. It's a bummer that Ward is thus off the board.

Junior Miller Moss, his backup, had a great inaugural start for USC during the team's Holiday Bowl win over the Louisville Cardinals last Wednesday. But is he a true blue chipper? Is he the answer?

Moss notched a Trojans bowl-best six touchdowns (against just one interception) and 372 total passing yards, while nailing 23-of-33 pass tries.
