The Tigers defense stopped Judson and they were unable to make a first down with time winding down. Unable to make a first down, Judson punted the ball to the Tigers 10 yard line. With three minutes remaining in the game, Williams led a dramatic comeback drive. After several completions and runs to get the ball on the 3-yard line, senior Kyle Koch ran the ball in for a 3-yard touchdown.

The Tigers defense stepped up again and the Judson quarterback Elijah Favala threw the ball in the waiting arms of Tiger defender Deacon Ivey. The game ended and the final score was Tigers 38 and Judson 34. After the game, Williams stated, “The win feels great, coaches always said, ‘Be ready.’ Since I have gotten hurt, I have been practicing like I'm the guy. It showed tonight and everyone still believes in me from when I got hurt. It feels really special to come out and play well when it really matters.” Williams was asked about the last interception of the game, made by Ivey, and he stated their defense really stepped it up and that interception really relieved a lot of weight off me and it felt amazing.
