Anyone think this affects the final outcome of the game?

It might. Wasn't he their leading receiver on the season? Bound to be some kind of drop off.

I'm little suprised by that, but from what I've seen, he was a distraction for the team this season and doing things that he wasn't supposed to do. Him coming back isn't probably good for the team, but we'll see. I don't think he should come back.

I believe he was. Perhaps Coates will be enough, but I hope he is not.

Brought this up in another thread. To me, the bigger news is that he is likely to return next year. :hurray:

We know we can shut him down now. Coates was the beast that I was glad that left.

Huh?? He had 120+ yards receiving on us and he obviously wasn't anywhere near 100%. I'm perfectly okay with him and Coates both taking their talents to the NFL...lol.

Ok maybe.... I'm looking at the second half stats before the garbage TD.

Strange that they suspend him though and he says I'm going to come back. You suspend me, I'm gone.

Coates is not nearly the same threat without Williams lined up on the other side. Still, I don't see Wisconsin slowing down their running game. Auburn will still win with ease, IMO.

Idk why Duke would come back unless he isn't a guaranteed 1st rounder this year.

 

[JustNeedMe81]

He was projected 2nd-3rd round.. but i think that's enough for him to go anyway.... might be a character issues... He can use a year to clean his "image" up and move up in round...

I sort of wonder if the Outback has some sort of rule about injury announcements? I never expected him to play, but I expected Gus Badtooth to make it a gameday announcement...

The injury alone should be enough for him to go.

...Gus Badtooth...

That's a new one on me.

 

[gamersfuel]

still time for him to change his mind. I dont see why he'd stay with how beat up he was at times this year. i think he's ready for the NFL

Especially with the "best catch radius in college football." Or whatever Jesse was talking about.

IMO, he will declare for the draft after the bowl games. Something fishy is going down on the plains. He was MIA all this time, speculations were that he was sick, injured, suspended, fought at a bar, etc. With all these " rumors" surrounding the young man, you know there is major issues with him and the program. And from a professional point of view, why would you risk being injure again when you can make money and prove your worth in the NFL??

I agree, I think auburn will win in a shootout with or without Williams.

If Wisconsin plays like they did against OSU, there's no telling how many points Barney will score.

I agree that something fishy has been going on with Williams. I don't think another year in Lee County is going to improve his draft stock much, but it will give him lots more opportunities to get into trouble. He should go. Wouldn't be surprised for there suddenly to be word in a couple of weeks that he *gasp* has an agent.
