Williamson's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Todrick Withers led the charge by rushing for 101 yards and one touchdown on only 13 carries, while also picking up 36 receiving yards. That's the most rushing yards Withers has posted since back in August of 2024. Another passer making a difference was Alvin Dinkins, who threw for 202 yards and a pair of TDs on only 19 passes.
Another reason for the win was Williamson's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. In that department, Dontaye Bush was the leader with two.
