Rawleigh Williams III went down with a neck injury towards the end of the third quarter in Saturday’s win vs. Auburn, and underwent surgery Saturday night. He finished his short game with 4 carries for 18 yards.
In Bielema’s press conference, he was almost emotionally distraught when bringing up Rawleigh. This injury clearly affected him as more than just a coach, as he referenced “when one of your players tells you he can’t feel his fingers…it’s pretty freaky.” Coach B goes on talking about when Rawleigh’s mom came onto the field, making eye contact with him and how that made the moment real to him.
