SECTION 11
vibraslap
1999 as a high school senior: Missed three games with toe injury.
2000 as a Texas freshman: Injured vs Houston. Limited in Holiday Bowl with pulled leg muscle.
2001: Battled ankle injury all season. Had ankle surgery to remove bone spurs after the season. Missed spring scrimmage while healing.
2002: Missed Tulane game with hamstring injury. Was "slowed the better part of five other contests" because of it. Left Houston game because of injury.
2003: Got tired of Googling his injuries and quit. Somebody else pitch in here. There's just too much information.
On his leadership abilities:
"When K-State scored its' last touchdown, I went over and told the defense, 'If you all can just shut them out the next 14 minutes I promise we'll win the ballgame. I went to the offensive line, threw my mouthpiece about 80 yards, said some harsh things to them. 'Give us a little time.' We got em turned around, falling down, they gave us some time and I dropped it. (The linemen) gave it right back to me on Sunday -- 'We can't have that.'"
On getting thumped by Oklahoma four years in a row:
"Freshman year I don't remember," said Texas' Williams. "I think I had four catches for 16 yards. (The score was) 63-14. Next year was Superman's year. Like the first four passes were to me. I got big gains off of 'em. Then, I don't know, lost 14-3. Last year one big catch. Hobbled with a hamstring. Had one big reverse that everybody said Tommie Harris caught me from behind. That's about it."
Incidently, called OU's secondary the weak link of their defense in '03, providing bulletin board material and a nice chuckle for Derrick Strait. Then promptly went out and lost 63-13. Williams was shut out on the scoreboard, again, against Strait.
On his hamstrings:
"They're tight," Williams said. "When you can't touch your toes, it's a problem."
