Saves day with big second half
Williams struggled against an inspired USC defense in the first half, but got loose in the second half to finish with 151 total yards, 97 on the ground on 16 carries and one touchdown in the Irish's 24-17 victory over USC.
ANALYSIS
Williams also caught five passes for 54 yards on the day. The Notre Dame top back only had 16 rushing yards on seven carries in the first half, but the Notre Dame offense wore down the USC defense in the second half. Notre Dame's next game is expected to be the College Playoff semi-final game which more than likely will be Clemson and the Irish will need a big day be it Clemson or another team if they plan on advancing.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
With the departure of two of the top three runners from 2016 (DeShone Kizer and Tarean Folston), it's Williams' turn to step up in 2017. Josh Adams is the number one running back, but Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly is known to hand the ball to several running backs. The junior should far exceed (barring an injury) his 39 carries for 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns in his first major season of college ball.
