Aeris Williams looks ready to contribute at a high level regularly

Kylin Hill had one heck of a game against Kansas State and made phenomenal plays against Stephen F. Austin. Aeris Williams, on the other hand, had a couple of quiet weeks to get the 2018 season started.

In tonight’s game, Williams showed that the Mississippi State football team truly has two great options at running back.

Williams didn’t get a lot of carries. In fact, he only touched the ball a total of 11 times against Louisiana-Lafayette. However, he ran for 101 yards and a touchdown in that effort, showcasing his speed and physicality in the process.

The fact that MSU has two running backs that can play at a high level is a good thing. Now we’ll just see how Joe Moorhead splits up the carries for his two running backs.
