      </div><p>The University of Houston senior admits he was amped up for his final season of college football, but his trepidation revolved around another looming season: hurricane.</p>
				<p>Williams, a 5-foot-11, 210-pound safety, knew the threat a hurricane can cause when it approaches and reaches land. Unable to contact anyone in his hometown, he watched the news of Hurricane Harvey on the television. He could not focus on his academics, much less football.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;I mean, I was fine and in Austin,&rdquo; said Williams, who was with his Cougars teammates who temporarily located to the state capital and practiced at the University of Texas to avoid Hurricane Harvey. &ldquo;Sometimes, they didn&rsquo;t have (phone) service and I couldn&rsquo;t get any updates or know how everyone was doing. That was the toughest thing for me.&rdquo;</p>
				<p><strong>Daily check-in</strong></p>
				<p>Back in Missouri City, about 30 minutes outside of Houston, Williams had his mother, Dorothea, and father, Larry, still in town. His aunt, Veeda, also was near the devastation.</p>
				<p>The trio was always on the mind of Khalil Williams, who was still attempting to complete coursework and prepare for a Sept. 2 season-opening game against UT-San Antonio.</p>
				<p>The latter college football game was canceled.</p>
				<p>At the time, UH head coach Major Applewhite said that playing a game &ldquo;wasn&rsquo;t the right thing to do.&rdquo;</p>
				<p>&ldquo;Houston is across our chest for a reason,&rdquo; Applewhite told the Houston Chronicle back on Aug. 29. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s our city. A lot of people are from our city. We need to help not only our immediate family, our players&rsquo; families, but go back and give back to a city that&rsquo;s given a lot to us. We&rsquo;ll get to our season.&rdquo;</p>
				<p>For Khalil Williams, the news of the postponed game was a small comfort. He yearned to see his family and know they were safe.</p>
				<p>Eventually, he found out his family avoided the flooding, but still wanted needed a visual confirmation of their safety. He got his chance a few weeks later.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;It was kind of a relief to know they were fine,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;When I first saw them face-to-face, it was an emotional moment. It was a big ol&rsquo; hug, honestly.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;There were a few things that were messed up: furniture and some other stuff. But those are material things that can be replaced. &#8230; It just made me feel great because I could focus on football and academics. A lot of stress was off my back.&rdquo;</p>
				<p>Even though their first game was canceled, the Cougars still had a second game still on the schedule: a road contest against Arizona.</p>
				<p>With much of the players dealing with their personal matters, Houston made the trek and earned a 19-16 victory in Tucson, Arizona. A week later, the Cougars won the Battle for the Bayou Bucket, defeating Rice 38-3 in what was the homecoming for both squads affected by Hurricane Harvey.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;I mean, we feel great and everyone is focused and getting into a rhythm,&rdquo; said Williams, who has notched eight tackles, four for loss, one sack and one pass breakup this season. &ldquo;We know where we need to improve. We played hard, but we had some execution errors. But, I felt we got better each game. And I like the way the guys are playing right now.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;The team is focused and we&rsquo;re in a rhythm.&rdquo;</p>
				<p><strong>Preparing for the pass</strong></p>
				<p>Even with two games down, and a positive vibe in the locker room, the Cougars may face their most difficult test from a defensive perspective: Texas Tech. The Red Raiders lead the FBS with an average 620.5 yards of total offense per game.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;We have to slow down the passing game, that&rsquo;s first,&rdquo; Williams said. &ldquo;They have a great quarterback and wide receiver that can play every week. Every receiver stood out to me when I watched the film. Everyone can move and they have a high-powered offense.&rdquo;</p>
				<p>While the Red Raiders may have a strong passing attack, Williams believes the Cougars possess a vital weapon on the defensive line: Ed Oliver.</p>
				<p>The 6-foot-3, 290-pound sophomore has racked up 17 tackles, third best on the team, while also chipping in two forced fumbleds and a blocked kick. It&rsquo;s been a solid year, so far, for the sophomore who was named an AP preseason All-American after recording 66 tackles, 23 for loss, five sacks and three forced fumbles in his first year with the Cougars.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;If he can pressure the quarterback, it makes my job 10 times easier,&rdquo; Williams said. &ldquo;Having him on the front line is a good thing. &#8230; At practice he goes 115 percent, pushes everyone and, even though he&rsquo;s young, we consider him a team leader.&rdquo;</p>
				<p>When it comes to the secondary, Williams feels like mixing up defenses is the best way to combat the Red Raiders offense.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;I feel, as a defense, that we need to show them some things and keep them guessing,&rdquo; he said.</p>
				<p>For now, though, Williams is just happy to talk football. It&rsquo;s a luxury he did not have almost a month ago, and one he continues to feel blessed to play each time he steps on the field.</p>
				<p>&ldquo;Football is a gateway to get your mind off anything,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;You have no worries and it clears your mind.&rdquo;</p>
				<p><strong>College football</strong></p>
