Karlos Williams has become a significant cog in Florida Statecoach Jimbo Fisher's fifth-ranked scoring offense in the FBS.

Impressive, considering two weeks ago Williams was holding ontodreams of being a defensive star.

Williams switched to offense after the season-opener againstPittsburgh and has rushed for 193 yards and a team-high 11.4 yardsper carry in two games. His yards per carry average is ranked No. 7in FBS and only UNLV running back Shaquille Murray-Lawrence andWisconsin running back Melvin Gordon have more carries amongst thesix ranked higher.

Williams hasn't had a first-half attempt yet, but Fisher saidthat will change after he ran for 83 yards and two touchdowns onnine carries against Bethune-Cookman.

''I called some things on purpose to see how he would handleit,'' Fisher said. ''And he handled the adjustments, passprotection ... and different things extremely well kobe 8 kay yow Sale Online

''He's a size-speed guy that can stick his foot in the groundand accelerate very quickly.''

Williams has shown all the qualities desired in a big-timerunning back.

He has more than enough strength in a 6-foot-1, 223-pound frame.He has the top-end speed to rival just about anyone on the FSUroster. The most desirable trait might be Williams' ability to hitthe hole with reckless abandon, but with the patience to let theplay develop.

All this from someone Fisher had to convince to try offense forthe first time since high school.

''It's no regret there,'' Williams said. ''I was a young kid,and still a young kid now, but it's part of maturing. I wasn'treally sure about it. Kind of nervous Cheap Lebron X Shoe Sale Online. I'd been a safety all mylife. Got recruited as a safety. Was a safety here under (formerdefensive coordinator Mark) Stoops and now under coach (Jeremy)Pruitt. I wanted to stay there.''

If Williams gets more time on the field, however, someone has tolose touches. Freeman has rushed for 100-plus yards in each of thelast two games and is the clear-cut, go-to runner. Wilder, Jr. hasrun for 34 fewer yards than Williams despite the benefit of sevenmore carries and an extra game.

Fisher doesn't believe that will be an issue.

''I've always had three guys wherever I've ever been. LSU daysand all that,'' Fisher said. ''It takes that. People don'tunderstand the pounding running backs take. And then the style of aparticular play or what play you're featuring that week. Each guy'sstrengths and who can block.

''You feature what each of them does best, but all of them willget their touches.''

Chris Thompson, Freeman and Wilder, Jr. all rushed for more than600 yards in 2012, so that balance is attainable. But Wilder, Jr.has not shown the same explosiveness as Williams the last twogames. Few would be shocked if Williams becomes the No. 2 back.

When asked he gains confidence with every touch, Williams saidwithout hesitation, ''Of course, any running back does.''

He said FSU backs ''try to take those two to three-yard gainsand if you keep getting those eventually you are going to bust openand get a big gain.''

That has not been a problem. Williams hasn't had more than sixconsecutive rushes without one going for 15-plus yards. His firstcareer carry was a 65-yard touchdown against Nevada. He added a24-yarder against the Wolf Pack and 35 and 19-yard gains againstBethune-Cookman.
