In the second quarter of Baylor football’s 37-34 win over Kansas State on Saturday at McLane Stadium, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule had a decision to make. The Bears were down 7-6 to the Wildcats and were without junior running back JaMycal Hasty and sophomore running back John Lovett due to concussion protocol.
The Bears were in desperate need of a spark in their rushing game.
Rhule turned to freshman running back Craig “Sqwirl” Williams, who had yet to play a game in a Baylor uniform. Williams took his first collegiate carry 14 yards on a third down to give the Bears a first down at midfield and set up a scoring drive that would put them on top 12-7.
