For what it's worth, part of Ponton's punishment was being demoted to last on the depth chart... he is still there.  My guess is Leavitt starts Williams and lets Ponton work himself back in.

Start William and work Ponton in the second or 3 offensive series.  Give the most carries to whoever has the hot hand.  If it's Ponton, so be it.

He really had a breakout game today.  Leavitt joked that maybe he should put him on scholie after the game was over.

Hopefully he can keep it up.  Ponton who?  Kidding...we really need Ponton!

of course he and other rbs should be put on scholarship

hope leavitt isnt as stubborn as he was with the kicker.

leavitt needs to do the right thing

they bailed out players on scholarship

Leavitt wasn't stubborn with the kicker.  Leavitt told the kid he would get a scholarship in the fall, not in the spring when the team was limited to 25.  This is evidenced by all the other kids Leavitt gave a schollie to this fall that contributed less than Bronson  The kid didn't understand or, more likely, wanted to leave anyway and tried to find a way to blame it on the coaches so he wouldn't look bad.

Bronson's parents moved to Texas.  That was a factor in him leaving also.  he was going to be offered a scholarship this fall.

start williams as a statement.  work ponton in more as you go.  it's UNC.  we hopefully wont need any of them.  

IF PONTON IS ON TEAM AND SERVED PUNISHMENT IT MAKES NO SENSE NOT TO START HIM

WHAT STATEMEWNT ARE YOU MAKING"WE ARE NOT GOING TO PLAY OUR BEST PLAYERS ON TEAM"

IF YOU ALLOW PONTON TO REMAIN ON TEAM YOU BETTER PLAY HIM

WILLIAMS WILL GAIN NO YARDS AGAINST PIUTT,UL AND WV.

Ya know, sometimes you need to step back and look at the bigger picture.  From a team and motivational standpoint, you make a big statement by giving the start to Williams.  I think the statement is clearly that if you bust your ass for this team and you produce you have the opportunity to start.  That doesn't mean that Williams will be the featured back.  It doesn't mean he will even be in there after the first series.  It doesn't mean that he'll even touch the ball again his entire career here.  It means that he'll be on the field for the first few snaps.  It shows the other guys on the team that are in similar situations that they may be called upon to play and they may have the opportunity to earn a starting position too.

By the way, if you only look at the yards Williams had in the first 5 games, it's pretty clear that you do not understand football.  Williams was not the best rusher available to the team.  However, the reason he was playing over Dorsey was that he understands the playbook better and did not miss any blocks.  He may not have been as physical as Dorsey, but he did not miss any key blocks.  Dorsey missed two key blocks at crucial times against KU that stalled drives.

There is more to the RB position in this offense than just taking a handoff and running.

Nobody has any grand illusions that Williams is going to be the featured back over Ponton, but his overall perfromance deserves the recognition of the start.

Very heartwarming story.  Now back to reality.

Williams has already been awarded six starts for his hard work.  Go Team Go.  

This isn't kindergarten.  Ponton needs to get in shape quickly if he's going to help against Pitt, Cincy, WV and UofL.  Let's not beat around the bush, and instead get Ricky the work he needs.

Williams can start at the same time Ricky is getting his work in.  No one said Williams had to play the whole game, just a start and maybe the first series or 2.  He deserves it.

Sometimes I wish we had an entrance exam to get on here ...

Name the 6 starts he's had goof-nut  ;D

It has been explained perfectly for a 6 year old to understand, yet some just want to argue about things . . .

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
