  "summary": "Demond Williams Jr., the Washington Huskies quarterback, has been named one of the Manning Award's eight stars of the week following a strong performance against the Eastern Washington Eagles. The third-year signal caller completed 82 percent of his passes for 373 yards and 4 touchdowns, despite throwing his first interception of the season due to an unblocked blitz. Williams ranks No. 13 in the nation in passing yards with 890 through three games and has impressed head coach Jedd Fisch, who believes there is still room for improvement. Fisch praised Williams' decision-making, particularly on run-pass options, despite the team's limited success on the field.",
