The 2013 version of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga running back Keon Williams set the tone for this season in week two against Georgia State.
His second carry of the game went for 11 yards and included the 6-foot, 215-pounder lowering his shoulders and running over Panthers linebacker Jarrell Robinson, listed at 6-2, 215.
“You wouldn’t see him put his head down and put his pads down and run people over last year,” Mocs quarterback Jacob Huesman said. “That’s something you see him do a lot, almost every run, this year. He’s lowering the boom on people.”
In Williams’ words: “I noticed in certain situations I could be the hammer more than the nail.”
