Top college football players to watch this weekend

Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams has had some quiet games but has come on strong over the last couple outings. However, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson has improved greatly over the past couple weeks which has given Williams more opportunities. Williams has 432 yards and three touchdowns. The two biggest factors are that he averages 16 yards a catch and 13 yards when catching on third down. He is a key piece in the Clemson offense, he is also looked to for the big play which gives him a lengthy highlight reel already this season.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts faces one of the most difficult challenges thus far in his young career this week as the Crimson Tide take on Tennessee in Knoxville.
