"I love my linemen," Williams said. "They know I will do anything for them, and they for me. You gotta have respect for anyone who blocks."
It was the sixth time Williams has rushed for more than 100 yards this season, and 16th time in his career, breaking the school record for 100-yard rushing games held jointly by himself, Curtis Brown and Harvey Unga.
Williams also scored a touchdown in his first bowl game, the 2012 Poinsettia Bowl, in the same end zone at Qualcomm where so many great plays in BYU football history have happened.
"It just brought a whole bunch of memories from my freshman year," he said.
