When Connor Williams opened up his day for the Texas Longhorns by driving West Virginia’s Reese Donahue to the turf, something shifted in the attitude of the Texas offensive line.
In the third quarter, when Texas went two plays off-tackle left for 46 yards and a score, it was clear that the Texas offense found what it was missing for the majority of the season — a calling card.
To say Williams is the difference-maker for Texas is underselling his contribution.
The offensive line looked better than it had all year, particularly during conference play — the period of time Williams missed due to injury.
