Washington head coach Jedd Fisch announced that Demond Williams Jr. is expected to start at quarterback for Saturday's home matchup against Penn State, provided he suffers no setbacks from lingering physical issues, according to reports from Fox Sports and Fox News.
The junior quarterback previously suffered a fractured rib during the first half of an Oct. 9 loss to Iowa, opening the door for transfer Elijah Brown to start. Brown started against Nebraska after a bye week, but after the offense mustered only three points across three quarters, Fisch inserted Williams into the lineup in the fourth quarter.
Williams helped spark a 17-10 comeback victory over Nebraska, completing 7 of 13 passes for 99 yards, including a crucial fourth-and-18 conversion and a 25-yard touchdown throw to Chris Lawson. Fisch noted that the team needs to verify Williams feels healthy after absorbing hits during the game before officially cementing his place atop the depth chart.
