Williams was injured earlier in the year, and his return should help shore up the line for the Pokes in arguably the biggest game of the year.
Walterscheid, as you may remember, was arrested for public intox. He was found with a Jimmy John’s car topper. The corporate Twitter account shared their thoughts on the situation.

Walterscheid has 20 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and one forced fumble on the season.
Gundy also noted that linebackers Chad Whitener and Jordan Burton are also good to go and will play Saturday.
