LSU’s player of the game according to Kelly? Josh Williams. He rushed for 106 yards on 14 carries, but did more for the Tigers than the stat sheet will let on.
Brian Kelly says Josh Williams got the game ball tonight.
“He did a lot to help us offensively.”
Williams has been the epitome of a Tiger this season, doing the dirty work and succeeding when called upon.
He also had his first 100-yard rushing game tonight. #LSU
