Williams led a Jaguar defense that surrendered just 154 total yards in last weekend’s victory over Missouri S&T, recording a career-best eight total tackles — it marked the third time in five contests that the redshirt freshman has paced the squad in the category, which is one more occasion than he accomplished the feat a year ago.  Williams’ effort included his first sack since Nov. 7 last season, which not only accounted for a 14-yard loss but resulted in a fumble that Randon Carnathan returned eight yards for a score and a 17-6 advantage with less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter.  While his tackle total was one shy of matching Justin Dunn (set Sept. 18 in a win over Nicholls State) for the most by a Jaguar in 2010, Williams also contributed on special teams when he blocked the extra-point attempt after the Miners scored their only touchdown in the opening quarter.
