He’s not your average Joe.
Utah running back Joe Williams — who came out of retirement two weeks ago — set a school record with 332 rushing yards to lead the 18th-ranked Utes to a wild 52-45 victory over UCLA at the Rose Bowl.

The 23-year-old had a game-high four touchdowns and set the record for most rushing yards by an FBS player this year which was previously set by BYU’s Jamaal Williams (286 yards).
Joe broke the school-record which was held by Mike Anderson at 254 yards
In two games since he came back from his retirement, Joe has rushed for 511 yards and five touchdowns. and helped the Utes stay tied atop the Pac-12 South standings after Colorado took down Stanford 10-5.
So with that, here are some of the top tweets about Joe Williams’ record-breaking performance.
