Following a clutch performance by the Cougars that sealed a 35-22 victory against the SMU Mustangs on Saturday, the American Athletic Conference announced Monday that senior safety Terrell Williams has been named AAC Defensive Player of the Week.
“It feels good, but overall I’m just happy to get the win with my team,” Williams said following the game. “Without them, I couldn’t have done any of that. They brought out the pressure and locked everyone else up, so without them I couldn’t have done anything.”
Interceptions by Williams ended each of the Mustangs’ final two possessions of the game.
