[autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag] was the hero the LSU Tigers needed, and the one they wanted. Williams had 14 carries for 106 yards as he led the LSU rushing attack against a good Florida Gators team in the Swamp.
It’s no secret that the LSU running game has been average at best this year. The offense didn’t show up at all against Tennessee. The offensive line made some adjustments and got [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] back this week as they traveled the Swamp and they were able to part the blue and orange sea to give Williams room to run.
[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] raved about Williams’ pass-blocking ability as much as his ability to run the ball. [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns because of the amount of time in the pocket Williams helped to give him.
Williams was a team player and put his body on the line for his teammates.
He always does it the right way, and tonight he made plays when we needed it the most. The game ball belongs to Josh Williams. pic.twitter.com/u80kdQEXR3
