10/07/20 - RB *Pooka Williams Jr., Jr/2021, Kansas

After Pooka Williams Jr. finished with only 32 rushing yards against Oklahoma State in the Kansas football team's 47-7 homecoming loss, head coach Les Miles addressed the challenging day for the junior running back. "Well, I can tell you it's not Pooka," Miles said of Williams' struggles, seemingly referencing blocking issues encountered by KU's offensive line. "It's going to be another position group. Because he does those things that you can't coach." The Jayhawks (0-3 overall, 0-2 Big 12) handed the ball to their star playmaker 14 times against the Cowboys (3-0, 2-0). Williams left the game in the third quarter because of an injury, the nature of which was not disclosed. He averaged just 2.8 yards per carry.

His 32 rushing yards were easily his lowest total of the season, and the worst since the last time KU faced OSU, in 2019 (12 carries, 26 yards). The output this past weekend was the third-lowest in Williams' 25 career appearances. KU's game plan also involved trying to keep Williams involved on special teams as a kickoff returner. The speedy junior from Louisiana couldn't find the space to bust open a long return, though, averaging 18 yards on six attempts. His longest went for 31. The injury on Saturday was the second one Williams had suffered this season. "The good news is it's a nick," Miles said Monday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference, "and we figure we'll have him back here after the bye week." - Lawrence Journal World
