In the midst of a 56-10 rout of Louisiana, Mississippi State’s star veteran running back Aeris “A-Train” Williams was in tiptop shape. After little to no playing time in the Bulldogs’ first two games, he took advantage and lit up Davis Wade. So why did it take until week 3? Head coach Joe Moorhead explained that based on performance, Williams did not live to expectations, but the senior turned it around and in a big way.
Perhaps the best part of Williams’ re emergence is Moorhead’s high standards. We have learned that no matter the player, work and performance comes first.
