Saturday night, after suffering a 45-19 loss to Washington, Micah Simon was witness to another loss.
Simon was there when BYU’s starting running back Ty’Son Williams got the call. The results from an MRI scan Williams were back: he tore his left ACL.
Suddenly, what the graduate transfer thought would be his final season came to an end. There's still no news on whether Williams will choose to seek a hardship waiver to be eligible to play one more year.
“I just kind of put my arm around him and sat next to him at home for a little while until his mom came home,” Simon, who lives with Williams, said.
