Williams Hits 1K Rushing Yards | Washington Huskies Football News

Washington edged out Utah State 16-14 in a gritty battle, with Demond Williams Jr. delivering the game’s biggest moment: his 1,000th career rushing yard — making him just the third Husky QB ever to reach that milestone. He did it in 28 games, one more than Marques Tuiasosopo and far behind Jake Locker’s record-setting 14. Already a dual-threat force since his debut, Williams has led the offense this season with over 600 rushing yards and six TDs on the ground, stepping up as the team’s top rusher amid injuries to the running backs. His legs have been the difference-maker in close wins, turning tough drives into touchdowns. With the offense grinding through field goals, Williams’ breakout performance proves he’s not just filling a role — he’s elevating Washington’s entire identity.
