Through injuries, changes and competition at USC, Ford has begun to emerge as a key threat at receiver for the Trojans.
LOS ANGELES — Shortly afterThe pain of the defeat was still fresh for both players. Ford had been on the field for 11 passing plays without receiving a target. He felt like he was ready to help USC win, and he called Williams, wanting to spend the bye week getting on the same page.
“It was cool to have my family and friends just be happy. It’s always good to make them proud,” Ford said. “[But] I knew I could do it.”Ford arrived at USC in 2019 still recovering from knee surgery he underwent as a senior at Orange Lutheran. He was able to return late in the season and caught a lone pass, 20 yards for a touchdown, but settled for a redshirt year.
“Find something to get better at every day. And it doesn’t have to be something drastic,” Ford said. “I can’t walk today, but I can tie my shoe now. I can bend over and tie my shoe. Something small. I didn’t run the route at this angle, but I ran it a little less this way. Just small things and they all add up.”
