2. Kyren Williams rushes for over 150 yards

It’s been a few games since Kyren Williams last broke the 100-yard mark on the ground, but it’s pretty clear that he’s back to his old ways of aggressive, dominant running.

Williams rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns against USC and then had 199 and a touchdown against North Carolina. Since then, he’s rushed 31 times for 165 yards and three touchdowns over two games which is a good sign that he’s truly back to his old self.

What has been even more impressive than his first back-to-back 100-yard games of the season is the fact that he’s averaged over 5.0 yards per carry for the past four games. The Irish are going to welcome another huge game from Williams and he’ll deliver with 150 yards and a couple of touchdowns.

The fact that Williams is having an “off-year” with 872 yards and 10 touchdowns on 5.0 yards per carry just shows how good he is. He’s going to feast on Georgia Tech’s poor run defense and break 1,000 yards for the second straight year.
