MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – This Saturday, Dana Holgorsen will be dealing with a problem that sounds more like one Bob Huggins is familiar with.
The most exciting freshman in the Big 12 is in town, and he’s a Kansas Jayhawk. But this one plays football.
He is Pooka Williams, and so far his play is every bit as memorable as his name. Williams is already outpacing the legendary Gale Sayers for the fastest career start by a Kansas running back, rushing for a Big-12 leading 474 yards in his first four games. (Sayers had 403 yards in the first four games of his sophomore season in 1961, which was before freshmen were eligible to play varsity).
