Quoting OC Jonathan Smith on Troy Williams, UW’s running game

(On different options there like John Ross or Shaq Thompson) “We’re looking at a couple different formulas, whether it’s like you said, Shaq, John, different formations maybe a little bit. We’re making an effort for that this weekend.”

(Any update on Cyler Miles?) “He’s just day to day.”

(How has Troy Williams been this week?) “Solid. I thought his effort really the last month in practice has been good. He’s continued that, and Jeff’s (Lindquist) getting some turns out there as well. We like where they’re at.”

(Where has Williams improved?) “I think in regards to just taking care of the ball a little bit better, turnover issues. I think he’s understanding and throwing the ball really accurately, Troy is.”

(What is he gaining by taking first-team reps this week?) “There’s a benefit any time you go on first team. I thought just getting in the game and having a series, and the series he was in, I don’t remember exactly, 10, 12-play drive, I think that’s a huge benefit for a guy moving forward.”

(More on taking care of the ball) “That was the little bit of the slight edge that we thought Jeff brought in the first game. We really were pleased Troy created some offense with his arm, really has some arm talent, and that showed the last month.”
