The focus for Miami against Florida State will be on Williams staring his first game in nearly a month. He last started October 5 against Virginia Tech. Williams was pulled after throwing three interceptions. He will have a chance for a big game against a weak Florida State pass defense.
The Seminoles are 108th in total defense and 118th against the pass. If Williams’s shoulder is healthy he should return to playing as well as did in the first four games. Before being pulled against Virginia Tech, Williams averaged 259.25 passing yards per game in Miami’s first four games of 2019.
