2. Kyren Williams, running back

Kyren Williams continued his great play Saturday against the Midshipman. He rushed for 95 yards on 17 carries. He also had two rushing touchdowns and now has 11  touchdowns (10 rushing and 1 receiving) on the year through nine games.

Williams was five yards short of extending his streak to three games in a row of gaining at least 100 yards on the ground. That streak may have ended but I am sure that Williams will take the win and also allow some of his fellow running backs to get some carries, too.

The star running back in Kyren Williams can do so much and he puts it on display week in and week out. Williams is so elusive and runs 110 percent every time he steps onto the field. His teammates say that Kyren provides them with more and more extra energy because of how much fun he has out there on the field.
