Talbot: Washington's big day won't be forgotten anytime soon

DeAndre Washington didn’t recognize the name.

Shaud Williams.

Of course, Williams’ big day was in 1999 when Washington was only six years old and Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury was a redshirt freshman standing on the sideline watching.

Williams, then a freshman, ran for 230 yards in a 31-10 win over Colorado on that day 16 years ago.

It was the last time a Red Raider rushed for more than 200 yards in a game.

Saturday, Washington eclipsed Williams’ performance.

The Texas Tech senior running back ran for 248 yards on 27 carries as the Red Raiders defeated Kansas State 59-44 on senior day at Jones AT&T Stadium.
