In 1925, Tech met rival Georgia for the first time since 1916. Williams thought the game clock read five seconds remaining in the third quarter when it was really five minutes. Williams set up his offense for a field goal and kicked it to put Tech up 3–0 on first down, and Tech won the game 3–0.[1] He then played professional football with the Newark Bears and Staten Island Stapletons.[2] In his season with the Stapes, Williams suffered a season-ending injury against the New York Giants.[3]
