WILLIAMS CLOSE TO SETTING FIRST TIME STARTER RECORD Last week’s Holy Cross game began the Cody Williams era as the Hawks’ starting quarterback. Over the 23 seasons of football, Monmouth has had 15 different starting quarterbacks (QBs which started a significant number of career games), with only four earning wins in their first starts. Williams’ 258 yards against the Crusaders ranks second behind Dan Sa- bella’s 263 in 1994. The Springfield, Mass. native became the first freshman to start at quarterback for Monmouth since the 2009 season when Kyle Frazier started against Wagner.
