Jedd Fisch trying to keep things simple for Demond Williams Jr.
After struggles against Minnesota and USC, Jedd Fisch is pushing for Demond Williams Jr. to trust the system around him.
Demond Williams Jr., the Washington Huskies' quarterback, expressed his frustration with his recent performance in the first five games of the season. After an underwhelming outing against the USC Trojans, where he completed only 57.7% of his passes, lost a fumble, and had a turnover that resulted in a touchdown for the opponent, Williams has been focusing on playing clean football and trusting the system.
His head coach, Jedd Fisch, has emphasized this approach during a short week. Despite Williams' tendency to take risks and thrive off-script due to his athleticism, he has also been sacked 12 times in Big Ten play, many of which could have been avoided by not overextending plays. The Huskies have shown flashes of brilliance with their wide receivers and tight end, indicating that Williams has a strong supporting cast.
With a challenging match against the Iowa defense coming up, Williams has the chance to showcase his abilities and create big plays if he can get into a rhythm.
