Utah QB Williams eager to face former team: No. 4 Washington

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Troy Williams signed with Washington as a top-ranked dual-threat quarterback in 2013.

Two years later, Williams is the starter for Utah and he wants to show the fourth-ranked Huskies' coaching staff what they missed out on. The Utes (7-1, 4-1 Pac-12) host Washington (7-0, 4-0) on Saturday.

Williams feels he never got a fair shake when Chris Petersen was hired to replace Steve Sarkisian at Washington in December 2013. USC poached Sarkisian from Washington and the Huskies plucked Petersen from Boise State. Williams spent his freshman season as a redshirt then played in five games under Petersen before transferring to Santa Monica College after the 2014 season.
