PASADENA, Calif. — Utah running back Joe Williams has had himself quite the last two weeks.
After retiring from football after Utah's 20-19 win over rival BYU, Williams returned last week against Oregon State to rush for 179 yards and a touchdown.
He nearly doubled that against UCLA.
Williams ran 29 times for 332 yards, surpassing the old school record of 254 set by Mike Anderson against Fresno State in 1999 by 78 yards. He had four rushing touchdowns as Utah outlasted UCLA in a high scoring shootout, 52-45.
Here are my instant observations following Utah's win.
