Boom Williams nears the 1,000 yard mark

With tonight’s blowout performance against the 49ers, Boom Williams moved that much closer to being the first 1,000 yard rusher for UK since Rafael Little in 2007. He had 140 yards on the ground tonight, a career-high for the sophomore, and now Williams needs 172 yards in the final game against UL to make it to 1,000. Yes, it sounds unreasonable, but it’s actually not that out of the question for him. Boom ran for 126 and two scores last year against the Cards, with not too much issue at all if you remember. UL has the tenth-ranked rush defense in the nation as of today, but they were also ranked the exact same last year (10th) and Boom torched them.
