Demond Williams Jr. quarterback grade vs Michigan: were the interceptions his fault?

Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr. had an uncharacteristically bad game last Saturday against the Michigan Wolverines. The Huskies lost 24-7, as their offense once again fell flat against a top-tier opponent in a big game. As the commander of that offense, Williams' poor performance stood out the most -- he averaged just 6.5 yards per attempt, going 20-of-32 for 209 passing yards and three interceptions.

Additionally, Williams struggled to make his usual impact with his legs. His offensive line didn't help him, as he was sacked twice while facing relentless pressure all day, but Williams deserves some blame as well for being too hesitant to escape the pocket when things fell apart -- which has never been an issue for him.
