SALT LAKE CITY — On Jan. 5, 2015, quarterback Troy Williams began a two-year pursuit to prove his former school Washington that he was worth investing in.
It’s the one game this season, above all others, that means the most to Williams. Not even the games against his hometown schools USC and UCLA, two programs that didn’t even give him a look in recruiting, have as much importance as the matchup against the Huskies Saturday.
“It means a lot,” Williams said Monday. “It means an enormous amount to me.”
Although Williams attempts to tow the company line that it’s just “another game,” the Washington game is a story of redemption for Williams — an opportunity to show his former coaching staff “what they missed out on and how frustrating it was being in that situation.
