In his sophomore year, Williams saw action in all 14 games and had six starts at right tackle, sharing time with [[Branndon Braxton]]. As a junior in 2008, he started all 14 games, the first at left tackle and the remaining 13 at right tackle, and registered 131 knockdowns. He was part of a dominant [[2008 Oklahoma Sooners football team|2008 Sooners]] offensive line that included [[Duke Robinson]], [[Phil Loadholt]], and allowed only 11 sacks all season, the third-lowest total of any team in the country. The two teams that finished above them (Air Force and Navy) combined to attempt 231 passes. Oklahoma attempted 476, and—featuring quarterback [[Sam Bradford]] and running back [[DeMarco Murray]]—became the highest-scoring team in the modern era (702 points).<ref>{{Citation |first=Andy |last=Staples |title=Oklahoma O-line is made up of five fast, immovable men |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/andy_staples/01/07/ou.line/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090123125501/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/andy_staples/01/07/ou.line/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 23, 2009 |work=[[Sports Illustrated]] |date=January 7, 2009 }}</ref>
