| | | Kansas coach Turner Gill said Sunday night that KU defensive tackle John Williams is out for the year with a torn ACL. Williams, who was hurt during Saturday night's 45-42 victory over Northern Illinois, had been earning constant praise from coaches during the early part of this season. "That's not what you want to hear," Gill said. "He definitely was playing well. It's unfortunate that he got hurt. We'll just have to get the next guy that has an opportunity to come in and make plays for us." Williams' backup, sophomore Randall Dent, moved over from the offensive line during fall camp when defensive tackle Pat Dorsey was injured. It's possible that Richard Johnson Jr., an experienced senior who is currently listed as backup to Kevin Young, will have to move into Williams' spot. Source Kansas City Star | | |
