For reference, Williams had 3 TDs on the season coming into this game. Tying his season total before the half is insanely impressive.
Not only has Williams had no trouble getting into the end-zone, but he has looked great doing it. Williams has looked shifty, making multiple defenders miss along the way.

It is also worth noting that the Buckeyes are playing without star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, as he is dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. Missing their star receiver, the Buckeyes were going to need someone on offense to step up. Luckily for them, Williams has done just that.
The Buckeyes led Rutgers 28-7 at halftime. Williams will hope to add to his trio of TDs in the second half.
