Williams has thrown for 295 yards with a touchdown and an interception in four appearances this year. In his only start against Clemson, he threw for 151 yards and a score.
He is replacing multi-year starter Tyler Van Dyke, who has been dealing with several different injuries. Van Dyke threw for 173 yards and three interceptions ast week in the Hurricanes’ 20-6 loss to the N.C. State Wolfpack. He was clearly laboring and struggling to throw the ball downfield.
DraftKings Sportsbook has Florida State has a 14.5-point favorite in the game with the total points set at 50.5.
