Carnell Williams has been named interim coach of his alma mater’s football program. He becomes the first Auburn alum to take the role since Ralph “Shug” Jordan when he became the head coach at Auburn in 1951.
Before joining the coaching world, Williams had a storied career that saw him rush for 3,831 yards and 45 touchdowns from 2001-04. He dominated the running game alongside Ronnie Brown, Brandon Jacobs, and Tre Smith during his career.
One program that Williams had massive success against was Mississippi State. Williams played the Bulldogs four times during his career and was on the winning side of the game each time. In those four games, Williams accumulated 421 rushing yards and found the end zone ten times.
Here is a breakdown of Williams’ success against Mississippi State during his time as a running back for the Auburn Tigers.
