FIRST QUARTER:
Riding the Wayne train early
— Rubbing The Rock (@RubbingTheRock) September 5, 2015
The Tigers elected to run Wayne Gallman three times in a row to open the game. He set the tempo early and ended the day with 92 yards on 14 carries and two touchdowns.
Mike Williams down..didn't look good, hopefully he's okay
— Rubbing The Rock (@RubbingTheRock) September 5, 2015
This was a scary moment. Wide receiver Mike Williams caught the ball and after a Wofford defender shoved him in the back, he hit headfirst into the goal post.
Stretcher coming out...

Praying for Mike Williams, you never want to see anybody go down regardless of who it is. Hopefully we will get some good news on him soon
