the fourth quarter reminded us why I've been so encouraged by Williams' development. He completed six of seven passes for 72 yards, including the crucial 38-yard connection with Colston Loveland that set up the game-winning field goal... Ultimately, the 0.10 grade tells the story rather well... One rough outing doesn't erase the strides Williams has made throughout 2026, and my confidence in his continued development remains unchanged. Of the six quarterbacks I'm grading this season, Williams landed with the 3rd best grade in the Week 9 rankings.

Despite an inconsistent performance with multiple "Below Average" grades, his fourth-quarter execution—completing six of seven passes for 72 yards including a crucial 38-yard connection with Colston Loveland that set up the game-winning field goal—reinforced Luther Burden III's confidence in his development trajectory. The ability to overcome a rough outing and deliver in clutch moments remains a core strength; Luther Burden III notes that one subpar performance does not erase the strides Williams has made throughout 2026.
