“Source: Texas RT Cameron Williams has been limited in practice and is trending toward being a game-time decision on Wednesday against Arizona State,” Thamel wrote on December 29th. “It would not be a surprise if he can’t go, as he’s dealing with a right knee sprain and hopes to attempt to play through the pain.”

Without Williams, Trevor Goosby is slated to go on the offensive line. He’ll have his hands full with an eager Sun Devils’ defense, looking to spark an upset.

Leading into the game, head coach Steve Sarkisian was asked about Williams’ health, as well as wide receiver Isaiah Bond.

“With IB and Cam, again, I think they both have been practicing,” Sarkisian said. “They both have been improving. To some degree, it’s how do you feel on game day, right, when the adrenaline really kicks in, what does that feel like for a competitor. And then we gotta make really good decisions with those guys if they play and how much and to what degree.

“But I give them both a lot of credit. They’ve been working. Our medical staff has done a great job of building them towards this and not only them. We’ve had a few guys … Again at this juncture of the season, game No. 15, everybody’s got bumps and bruises. So we’re just trying to get our guys as healthy as we can.”
