"Some are like, 'How do you eat that much peanut butter?'" Williams said of his post-game and post-practice snack he calls a Ker-Wich. "It seems to be working. ... When I was younger, it was only (one layer). The older I got, the hungrier I got."

He isn't the only one hungry for wins in Logan.

The team was once a laughingstock, going 9-38 combined over the four years before Andersen arrived in December 2008.

After a pair of 4-8 marks under Andersen, the Aggies finished 7-6 last year, going to their first bowl since 1997 with help from a pair of players— running back Robert Turbin and linebacker Bobby Wagner — who are now members of the Seattle Seahawks.

With Turbin gone on to the next level, and also running back Michael Smith, who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams finally got his chance.

He wanted to keep running on his 1-yard score in overtime on Sept. 7 when the Aggies finally beat Utah in Logan. He'll no doubt want to do the same in his final home game if it goes as well as most expect.

"I want to go out and play my best in front of Aggie Nation," Williams said.

Andersen already admires Williams for being an unselfish player through the years and as well as a role model.

"His leadership, his work ethic all season long, his competitiveness ... he has brought us along as a football team for four years," Andersen said.
