Ty'Son Williams out for season with ACL tear

All the bad words!



This sucks big time. Our already hurting and inconsistent offense just got a lot worse.



Don't know if he would be able to qualify for a medical redshirt or if he'd want to, but it has been great to have him as a Cougar.

Good luck to him but our luck doesn't look so good.

First Anderson, now Williams.



A stark reminder of the punishing results of playing P5 teams week in and week out, and the resulting need for depth.

This is a tough loss. Hope he recovers soon.

I'd like to see some data to back up this assumption that there are more injuries when playing P5 opponents vs. playing G5 or FCS opponents.



Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me.



When we start with a light schedule and someone goes down against a MWC foe, we hear "that's why we need to play the tough teams first when we're healthy!!"

I don't think the level of your opponent is a contributing factor in amount/extent/degree of injury unless you are just WAY WAY over-matched.

Yeah, I agree, Williams' injury could have happened against anyone. The tackler went low on him and got him exactly when his foot was planted causing the knee to buckle.

A hit in the side of a planted knee is brutal.



I’d love to see him back next season, but I can understand if he doesn’t even want to apply. He looks like a great RB. I think he has a good chance of an NFL career.

On commentator said something along the lines of, "He should have been wearing a Don Joy brace!"



We are now accustomed to seeing O-line braced up for each game. Is the standard now for RBs to be wearing braces as well? If so, why aren't BYU backs doing that?

What happened to Anderson? I must have missed his injury.

Recent news stories have called it a "lingering" shoulder injury but he is having surgery on it again so it must have been re-injury.
