The junior quarterback—and wide receiver, punt returner, cornerback and pretty much any other position you can think of—scored four times and threw for a fifth TD as the Lions went on to score 39 unanswered points in the 39-6 win.
Williams did it with his legs, running for touchdowns of one and three yards. He did it with his hands, catching a 47-yard pass from teammate Joey Argentina. He did with his elusiveness, finding the seams in a 62-yard punt return.

And he did it with his arm, launching a 36-yard strike to teammate Quinton Jenkins.
After struggling to find his rhythm last week in his first game back from a hamstring injury, there was little question Williams had found it—and then some.
Teammate Nick Mallardi accounted for West's other score, a 32-yard interception return for a touchdown. Mallardi grabbed a pass from Walker on the near sideline, then rumbled in untouched for the score.
The win improves the Lions to 2-3 on the season, with a series of tough tests coming up, starting with Moorestown next Friday night.
