Dan Mullen could have chosen to give Damian Williams another chance, but he chose not to.
Most fans of the Mississippi St. Bulldogs would tell you they didn’t believe the team was given their best chance to win with Damian Williams at quarterback. But if you were trying to make that argument to Dan Mullen, it would have been difficult to do so.
Williams played pretty well overall in the season opener against South Alabama. He completed over 70% of his passes, threw for a touchdown, and didn’t threw an interception. Plus, he added 93 yards on the ground in 12 carries.
